The Blast Shelter

[ Reading time: 5 - 8 minutes ]

As you should know by now, the SurvivalRing webring is one of the PREMIER sites on the internet today for finding information and products that help each and every visitor learn more about BEING PREPARED.

We allow both personal AND commercial sites to join, and put much effort into allowing only sites into the ring that meet a fairly simple set of guidelines, all of which can be found on the main homepage of SurvivalRing.

SurvivalRing and all its member sites in the past have generated over 150,000 hits JUST thru the webring.org system, which records all hits from those links found within the SurvivalRing html fragment that EACH member site must have on their page to become full members.

The hits from visitors to the ring represent a VAST market of possible customers for your product, book, or information. While membership in SurvivalRing is free to all, and ANY site can be found thru the LIST SITES link on any member page, or thru the homepage member site listings, having a banner or logo and linkage from it to YOUR site directly can bring you even MORE customers and sales.

SurvivalRing proudly announces the availability to all present and future members sites of renting banner space on the SurvivalRing homepage and/or any other associated page within the website. Banners and/or logos are limited to just a few….2 large banners of 468 by 60 pixels per page (top and middle of page), and 4 square logo spots of 120 by 120 pixels each (at bottom of page above Disclaimer and other info). Prices below represent CHARTER banner sites, and will be discounted for multiple month placement. NOTE that there are two rates-one for the SurvivalRing homepage, and one for all other SurvivalRing pages.

HOW TO PURCHASE BANNER SPACE….

1) Select the size banner you wish to use for your ad space.

2) Create the banner artwork, or if needed, I will be glad to create for you for a one time charge PER banner.

3) Decide which page you want your banner to appear on, and which URL on YOUR site you want it linked to.

4) Decide how many months you wish to purchase advertising for, taking into account the above mentioned discounts for multiple months. Also, the starting and ending month you are interested in.

5) Email me with your request. I will inspect your banner, and your site. I respectfully request that your site and/or product be SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS, or Y2K related. No adult content, immoral or illegal products or information, or racially biased sites will be considered. Remember, this webring and its info and member links are prepared for ALL AUDIENCES, so I must make sure that any potential ad for any product must be acceptable.

6) Once I have verified your banner and site are ok, I will email you with the cost of your ad placement, and the address to mail your payment to.

7) Once payment is received, I will immediately place your ad banner on the page(s) you requested. Each Banner Location is first come, first serve. You may reserve a particular banner space if it is going to be available within 4 to 8 weeks.

OPTIONS:

1) IMAGE HOSTING: You have the option of hosting the actual image file for YOUR banner on YOUR site, and I will link my page to your image file so that when the next person views my site page, YOUR latest Banner will be loaded and viewed. This gives YOU the option to update your banner with new products, sales, or fresh content, without any work on my part. All you have to do is create your new banner, save it to exactly the same filename each time, and the rest is automatic.

2) IMAGE MAPS: If you would be interested in having an interface on your

banner that would allow a viewer to click certain areas of the image and be able to go to more than one site page, I will be glad to create an image map file for you, and host it on the page with your banner. You or I can create the image, with buttons, links, or whatever you wish to draw peoples attention to your banner, and then they can go to products, about us, ordering, or whatever you choose. There will be a 20% additional charge for banner space, due to extra html coding that allows for this feature.

3) IMAGE CREATION: If you aren’t artisticly enhanced, and need help

creating a banner for your site or product, I will be glad to assist you. Rates are for a ONE time creation fee. Email me with your needs, ideas, and concepts for your banner and I’ll give you a quote.

GUIDELINES FOR YOUR BANNER:

1) FILE SIZE: Your banner MUST be less then 20k in size, for speed in loading.

2) ANIMATION: Animation is allowed with your banner as long as it is under the 20k size limit.

3) IMAGE MAP LINKS: Please limit to 3 (three) links maximum per banner.

4) PAYMENTS: Your payment MUST be received BEFORE your ad will appear on the site.

5) REFUNDS: There will be no refunds given, no matter what. The main SurvivalRing website will be mirrored on at least one other site, with more possible, so that your banners and such will be available no matter what problems may exist, and any and all mirrored sites will be listed in each and every issue of online and hardcopy newsletters.

Thanks for your interest and support in helping maintain the SurvivalRing webring with your advertising. It is more important than ever to help get the word out about being prepared for any and all circumstances. Your work and ours will continue as long as people can learn and know that there is hope in ANY place, at ANY time.
