Centerfield Wall Ad Zone

Currently, the CF Wall Ad Zone is the only way to advertise On The Baseball Cube. It is a fairly simple concept in which advertisers provide a Link, some text and a banner and their ad will be spread evenly (randomly) throughout the site. The Ad Zone is located in the center of just about every one of the pages On the site. There are approximately 500,000 pages on the site and so there is a guarantee that your ad will appear on several thousand pages. The Ad Zone S-Unit will replace the Sponsorship Program.

Ad Unit Cost (A-unit): $25/unit per Month.

The A-Unit is for advertisers who want maximum exposure. Your ad will appear on most of the pages of the site.

Sponsor Unit Cost (S-Unit): $25/unit per year.

The S-Unit is for people wanting to help support the site by sponsoring a specific page on the site for a year. Your ad will be the exclusive ad on this page and will also be spread out onto other unsponsored pages throughout the site.

How it works:
A-Units will appear on the site at a 200 to 1 ratio compared to the S-Units. If an advertiser purchases 2 units of advertising For a Year, he will have 2x more ad representation than the advertiser who purchased 1 unit.

Benefits:

Easy to sign-up And make payment

Ads appear in the middle of the page, within the content, where a visitor will almost certainly see the ad.

15,000+ Baseball fans visit the site every Day during the season. 10,000 during the off-season.

Random distribution of ads will result in some weeks having ads On high profile pages.

Payment through PayPal.

A lot of sites will pump up their traffic in this section but to prove our traffic, here is a snapshot of our site's traffic taken directly from Google Analytics during the peak of the 2009 season.
