Banner Adverts

OUR advertising system, like our standard advert page editing system enables you to create a customized banner which is displayed randomly in the header of  most main pages of:-

  • southportreporter.com
  • liverpoolreporter.com
  • merseyreporter.com

Simply upload an image with dimensions of 468x60 pixels using our client login system.

The image will then be screened to ensure it does not violate any of our content policies, designed to keep our site unbiased and family friendly.

Once screened your image will start showing on the banner straight away.

The advert banner is the displayed below the site header as you can see above.  Also the edit section will let you change your Business Search Keywords and Advert Categories.

The Advert Banner Control Panel

All maintenance of your advertisement is done through our client control panel, which gives you instant access to all relevant information.  Access to the control panel is done via the link Client admin.

This link is located within the top header of Mersey Reporter, Southport Reporter and Liverpool Reporter.

We present the information in a clear yet condensed format, which we explain in the following overview.

Created/Reenabled/Expires

These dates show the status of your advert subscription. When you initially sign up, the "Created" date is set to the current date, and the "expiry" date is set to a date six months from then.

When the advert display time period expires, your advertisement will be disabled and no longer shown on the websites or in the business index. You must subscribe for another 12 months for your advert to be shown, in which case the "re-enabled" date will be set to the date on receipt of payment. You can also re-subscribe in advance, in which case the re-enabled date will be set to the start of the new subscription period and the expiry date will be moved forward six months.

Advert Statistics

This section shows the amount of advertising traffic your banner image has received. Shows is the number of times that your banner has been shown, for example on the headers of our sites, but also in any of the other places they can be shown. Clicks is the number of times a person has clicked on your banner.

Banner Image

This displays your current banner image. Showing it to you in the control panel does not count as a show on the statistics. This image must be 468x60 pixels in size.   You can upload your own, but we also offer the service of creating one for you.

Your image must be be saved .gif or .jpg format to be displayed on our random avert display system.
