Header/footer advertising
Posted on
Header/footer banners:
- are premium banner advertising slots
- have high impact across every page of the website, including the Home page
- are randomised adverts to keep them fresh
- advertisers have complete flexibility over their artwork design.
How it works:
- there are three header/footer banner advert slots on every web page
- at each page view, three banners are randomly selected for display from a 'pot' of header/footer adverts
- the 'pot' is limited to a maximum of six header/footer adverts from different companies
- banners may appear in either the header or the footer slots, or may not appear at all on a particular page view.
