| |
weSRCH’s advertiser section of the website features a number of tools designed to make the ad management and placement more efficient. The ad management tool is campaign based: you can design different campaigns using multiple banner/keyword/click-thru and sponsorship combinations. The campaigns can then reviewed for statistics and changed to get maximum impact. Additionally the spending on the campaigns can be managed by preset amounts or date ranges for each ad. The expiration of an individual ad or campaign triggers an automatic e-mail alert for your action. |

We’ve also architected our rates to fit within the most constrained budgets. Our lowest rate is a tenth of a penny per impression — that’s 1 millidollar. If you shop rates, you’ll find ads at weSRCH cost a fraction of what it costs to get your messages out at other sites. Moreover, our fixed monthly rates and automated budget control that automatically shuts down spending where your pre-assigned limts are hit. |

3) Keywords: You can buy keywords that show a link every time that keyword is present in the text. There it comes with a mouse-over that displays your text or flash whenever a mouse pointer passes over it. Keywords are charged by the number of click-throughs, making it a very economical way to gain mind share or establish a competitive position. The keyword ads can be in two formats. They can be either simple text based ads (like Google), or modern flash animation based. |

As part of a sponsorship you get to post a banner ad at the top of the article. The banner size is 728 x 90 pixels. You can choose from three levels of sponsorship. Platinum extends as long as the research paper is posted in the site. The Gold runs for one year and Silver for six months. |
