Pool Banner Options


To offer a low cost, flat rate, banner opportunity on some of kingsnake.com's more popular pages we have created several "Banner Pools" where for a fraction of the normal cost of banners, companies can make a small investment and still get a big display ad presence. The way it works is that all banner pool banners are loaded as defaults, and each banner in the pool gets roughly the same number of banner views every day from the total number delivered by the Pool Banner location. As the banner locations get multi-thousands of views daily but your cost remains the same (from .7 to .27 cents per day), your business will get several dollars worth of display advertising for pennies every day.
