Diarist.Net fancies itself a grass-roots community hub, and as such tends to shy away from the usual array of pay-per-click affiliate programs and banner exchanges. We would much prefer working with advertisers most likely other sites with a similar community bent directly and personally. Our rates are low and simple and go toward keeping the site running. You get exposure to a very specialized, discriminating niche of writers, web designers and... well, exhibitionists.

We don't charge by impression. But, we don't have the ability to offer detailed tracking or even to guarantee a specific volume of traffic, either. A fair trade-off, we hope, for simplicity's sake: we put your ad up, you pay us. No Javascript, pop-ups or pop-unders, or Flash or Shockwave frills. And hopefully our rates (easily a fraction of your standard ad contract) will tip the scales in the right direction.

Our traffic stats:

For the seven-day period ending January 3, 2002 (as an example), Diarist.Net received 296,944 successful requests from 158,253 distinct hosts (an average of 42,420 successful requests per day). Traffic has steadily increased every year the overall average since October 1998 is 16,873 successful requests per day.

Rates:

• Left Button (120 x 60 pixels) Random Rotation: $10/month (6-month minimum)


This is the quarter-banner placed to the left of the banner that runs on top of Diarist.Net's most heavily visited sections, with the added advantage of being the first hyperlink on any given page. Random rotation is controlled by a basic Javascript and the total rotating pool of advertisers will not exceed five.


• Left Button (120 x 60 pixels) Exclusive Placement: $40/month (6-month minimum)


Provided there are no other paid ads in this position (for details), this plan will ensure that your ad is the only one that appears. Over time, your ad will easily become as recognizable as any other part of the Diarist.Net site.


• Banner (468 x 60 pixels) Random Rotation: $5/month (6-month minimum)


This is the standard banner that runs on top of Diarist.Net's most heavily visited sections. Random rotation is controlled by a basic Javascript and the total rotationg pool of advertisers will not exceed twenty. Note that many of the other banners that appear in this position are for personal sites of Diarist.Net's contributors, meaning the space will generally not be discounted as purely commercial by visitors.
