Web Advertisements


An ad on the Houston Geological Society Web site will be seen by many people each day. In recent months, we get over 150 hits per day on the Main entry page where the "Sponsor Ads" are located.
You have 4 options for advertising on our web site:

[ Sponsor] [ Web Business Card]
[ Web Geo-Classified] [ Bulletin Supporter ]

  1. Be a web page Sponsor
    You can have your company logo picture posted on the "Whats New" page, the first page that comes up when someone visits the HGS web site. You provide the "gif" format graphic picture file (or we can help you find a vendor to prepare it for you). We plan to limit the total number of Sponsor logo picture ads to 6 at this time.

    We offer 3 rates for Sponsor logo ads:


    A Sponsor logo image must be one of two sizes (see examples below); either 60 x 80 or 60 x 166 pixels and be no more than 8 bits per pixel with a maximum of 256 colors. The format can be either GIF or JPG but if a GIF is used, it must be interlaced. It is also important to make the picture file size as small as possible so that it will transfer to the users' browser quickly.
     

  2. Web Business Card
    You can put up to 10 lines of text on our special Business Card web page.

  3. Geo-Classified
    You can advertise a product or service with up to 10 lines of text on our special Geo-Classified web page.

  4. Bulletin Supporter
    If your company advertises in the HGS Bulletin, your company name will be listed on the special Bulletin Supporter page on the HGS Web site for FREE. Each month, the Supporter page is updated to show the companies that advertise in the Bulletin. As of December 1, 1998, if you also want a link to your Internet Web page on the Bulletin Supporter Web page, the fee will be $ 10.00 per month.

    Bulletin Business Card advertisers are not included on the HGS Web page listing of Bulletin Supporters. If you have a Bulletin Business Card ad and want a link to your Web page, you must obtain a HGS Web Business Card ad.

    Note: If you advertise in the Bulletin and on this web page as a Sponsor (see above), then you will not be required to pay the $ 10 per month for a link to your Internet web page.
