Advertising your business on MiltonSearch.com

We offer many different options when it comes to advertising, all of which are extremely economical when you consider the cost of a printed ad in a local publication. Our rates will give you some serious bang for your advertising buck.

The green pages is a text-only Milton business directory in which your listing can be set up to link to your webpage and/or email address and/or a map to your business location.

We also offer space for graphical web banner ads in three sizes on our homepage and throughout the site, giving you the choice of where, and how big your advertisement appears.

A prominently placed, well-designed web banner can give your business a huge edge over your competition in trying to attract attention and potential customers.

You can supply us with a jpeg, gif or flash banner ad of your own, or we can create one for you.

All advertisements on MiltonSearch.com (text and graphical), include a link to your company's website.

Pricing (Home Page)

For maximum exposure, advertise on our homepage. Purchasing an ad here guarantees it will show up on the homepage and on other pages throughout the site where there are vacancies. You can also advertise in our news ticker which also features links to Milton and GTA news and sports and is updated twice weekly.

Pricing (Other Pages)

Ad space is also available on every page throughout MiltonSearch.com. You can choose to advertise on a certain page in particular, or have us decide for you. The earlier you decide to advertise with us means we can place you on a page that receives a high volume of traffic sooner.

Even though ads throughout the site may receive less exposure than our homepage, this can still work to your advantage. For example, if you are selling something - list it in our classifeds and create a banner ad as well.

If you own a restaurant and have it listed in the green pages, but your listing appears alphabetically further down the page, you could create a banner ad to give your business some face time at the top.

An athletic organization could advertise on our recreation page; a real estate agent would want to advertise on our real estate section and tourist attractions, although included on our tourism page, may find it advantageous to appear on our about Milton page....

The cost to have your business listed in The Green Pages is $50 for 1 year. This includes a text listing with your business name, address, phone, fax, a link to your website and/or email address and even a map to your location.

Your company will be categorized by type of business - you may show up in more than one category. Miltonians will also be able to find your business using the Google Custom Search box located on our main page, and of course via search engines like Google and Yahoo as our site is catalogued weekly.


Pricing (Banner Ad Creation)

Through our partnership with Orbit Studios, a Milton-based, full service creative studio, we are able to create a web banner advertisement for your business.

If you have your own banner there is no set up fee. If we create a banner for you, the cost is $100.00. If we create an animated banner for you (.gif format) the cost is $200.00. We can also create a flash animated banner for you, which costs $300.00.


Partnership has its Privileges

Becoming a partner of MiltonSearch.com means a trade. First of all, your logo will appear in the "Our Partners" section near the bottom of our homepage, with a link to your website. Second of all, you will receive a free banner ad (location to be determined) on MiltonSearch.com. In exchange, you agree to do something for us. Whether that's handing out MiltonSearch.com promotional material on-site at your business location, providing advertising for us on your website, or something else we haven't even thought of that lets Miltonians know about our site, it's a win/win for both parties.


Exclusivity

Exclusivity on MiltonSearch.com means acquiring exclusive rights to a certain location on our site to advertise your business. Our pricing above does not include exclusivity - meaning more than one business can advertise in one location, ie. two or three businesses can have header banner ads on our homepage, which rotate on each pageload. By paying extra, your company can become the only one to appear in a certain location, allowing you to gain some extra exposure over other competitors. MiltonSearch.com offers exclusivity in only one-year increments, and the ad location must be free of all other advertisers before it can be purchased. Everything is first-come, first-served.

Pricing to purchase exclusive advertising rights is as follows:

On our homepage (top half – Banner or Sidebar)
1 year: $1000

On our homepage (bottom half – Sidebar)
1 year: $400

On any other page (top half – Banner or Sidebar)
