Advertorials

Are you seeking to target college students and recent grads in your Web marketing? If so, your market is our market.

CollegeGrad.com offers a new type of banner advertising called advertorials, which provide the visual impact of a banner ad combined with the editorial advantage of being the first active link on the page.

Advertorials consist of a banner graphic (120x60 or 100x50, your choice) along with up to 50 words of text (your choice, subject to editorial approval) as the first link within the context of the page. Advertorials are available at all pages at our site except for the home page. All advertorials must fit within the content of the page (subject to our approval). The result is a much higher than average click-thru rate than standard banner advertising (can be as much as 2-3 times as high).

Our standard rate is $15/CPM (cost per thousand impressions - gross cost) throughout the site, comparable to standard banner advertising costs. You get all the benefits of a pre qualified and targeted audience along with a higher click-thru rate at costs far below those of other sites!

We offer exclusive advertorials on each page of the site. Each location is subject to availability and must be reserved in advanced. Page exclusivity is guaranteed for continuity beyond the contract period for advertisers who commit at least 30 days in advance of renewal dates.
