Advertise on Beadjewelry.net

Thank you for your interest in advertising on beadjewelry.net. Currently there are two 125x125 px button ad spaces. They appear in the right side bar, above the fold, on every page of the site.

Terms

Ad cycles span 30 days. About one week prior to your ad's expiration date, I will send you an email invitation to renew.

The current introductory ad rates are:

$5.00 per month for the #1 position (upper).
$4.00 per month for the #2 position (lower).

Payment is in U.S. dollars by PayPal. Your statement will show a charge to Chetti Beads.

If no spots are currently available and your ad is approved, you will be added to the wait list and notified when the spot does become available.

Current advertisers have priority in renewing the same spot for the following month. If the spot is not renewed within three days of expiring, it will be available to the next advertiser on the wait list.

Ad links will be amended with the "nofollow" tag, as requested by Google for paid advertising.

These terms may change over time. Current advertisers will be notified of changes by email. You can lock in current ad rates for two to three months by purchasing two or three months of space at a time.

Refunds

There are no refunds of monthly fees unless the site experiences significant downtime, for technical or other reasons. In that case, I will either provide you with a pro-rata refund by PayPal for the period the site was down, or extend your ad cycle by that amount of time, at your option.

Beadjewelry.net reserves the right to remove any ad, at any time, for any reason. If your ad is removed, you will be notified and refunded pro rata for the remainder of your paid ad cycle.

About Beadjewelry.net

The site has been a jewelry making and beading blog exclusively since 2008. Prior to that it was a landing page for my businesses Chetti Designs and Chetti Beads. In early 2011 I began publishing more frequent blog posts, coinciding with my new position as a contributing writer on About.com. Currently, I shoot for between 4 and 6 posts per week. Some posts are announcements of new free beading patterns that I have published on About.com; others are book and product reviews, contest announcements, showcases of designs, and commentary on beads in fashion. I do not write any sponsored posts, but I do have affiliate relationships, which you can read about here. Guest posts and more general content pages are planned for the future. You can read my bio here.
