Product Promotions
We publish a promotional item (including a photo of the product) based on a product release you submit. This listing occupies the entire column width in the Of Interest section of the newsletter (see the illustration on the right). Clicking on your listing takes readers directly to your company Web site; alternatively, it can link directly to a video presentation you have. Rate: $30 for one item in one newsletter issue; $100 for the same item in four consecutive newsletter issues.

Ad Specifications: Include the URL of the page the banner will point to, plus an “alt tag” (a short description of your ad). Please set animated banners to loop no more than 3 times.

Weight limits: GIF, animated GIF, JPEG or PNG files: 35K maximum, 72 dpi maximum. Flash banner: 35K maximum. Important: Include the original FLA file (not just the SWF), any original fonts used, and a substitute JPG or GIF file for those who don’t have Flash. Please provide the link to your site and a “clicktag” within your FLA and SWF file.
