Layout of Advertisements

Currently, chemBlink provides 5 types of advertising. The rectangle Logo Links, the horizontal Banner Links, the text-based Premuim Links and the text-based Massive Links are all displayed on product pages, while the text-based Standard Links, which are free of charge, appear on separate supplier pages of products. The text-based Massive Links are designed for suppliers who have large-amount of ads. They are expandable in the area below any Premium Links by clicking the "More Supplier..." button.

Circle (1) in the above snapshot indicates the position of the horizontal banner link. It can be created by a static or dynamic image of 728 x 90 pixels at maximum in either gif or jpg format. The link points to URL specified by advertiser. Generally only one supplier is allowed to advertise in that banner space. It is possible that a banner position is shared by rotating ads of several suppliers, when they agree to do so.

Rectangle Logo Links are located at the vertical position indicated by circle(2). Created by static or dynamic gif or jpg images with the size less than 300 x 250 pixels, there are only 5 logo links available on each product page.

Circle (3) indicates the location of premium link list on product pages. The expanding bar marked by Circle (4) enables visitors to visit massive links which are always listed below any premium links on product pages.

The standard link list is arranged on separate suppler pages of corresponding products. If there are already premium links created on a product page, all standard links on the supplier page of the product are no more visible, because the supplier page is not explicitly accessible in this case. The next snapshot shows an example supplier page where all standard links are listed in the area below Circle (5) ordered alphabetically, while the premium and massive suppliers are located on the top of the list indicated by Circle (6).

For Premium and Massive suppliers their company page will displa all premium and massive links on multiple pages instead of only one company page with maximum of 50 products for Standard Linking program users.
