The types of ads we do accept are:

• Main column textbox ads
• Image ads

Types of ads available

You can put an online advertising message before this site's visitors and/or ezine subscribers in various ways:

Main column textbox ads

Main column textbox ads are a rectangular box of text (sample at right) in slightly smaller font than the body copy, but with the same layout and background color as the rest of the page.

Main columns textbox ad copy is limited to 140 characters and spaces (Tweet length!). The text must fit on five lines.

Textbox ads can be placed on any page on the site except the home page. Site-wide ads are not available at this time.

Links in textbox ads will be designated as no follow links.

You Can Teach Writing sells no in-text advertising links for its main text column.

Image ads

Because you provide image ads ready to insert, image ads give you total control of your online advertising message.

You may chose from three image formats whose proportions are shown by the color blocks at in the right hand column:

• Button (125x125 pixels)
• Small sidebar (125 x 250 pixels)
• Skyscraper (120 X 600 pixels)

Links in image ads will be designated as no follow links.
