Policy updated for January 1992, subject to change without notice.
Advertising in SIMPLE and EASY in GIF News, and very very affordable.
Basically a small ad, roughly under 1/5 the size of a full page, will be
free of charge. Often times these are ads for Bulletin Board Systems.
GIF News is read by thousands of readers throughout the world. Besides
the standard way of distribution through Bulletin Board Systems, GIF News
travels by means of worldwide Network of Internet which encompasses many
countries such as Japan, Australia, Norway, Finland, Canada, USA, France,
Great Britain, Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, and more. GIF News can also
be found on the Compuserve Game Magazines download section.
Here are some guidelines to follow for advertising in GIF News:
1. If short and small, the ad is free of charge. I may add
some simple graphics to make the ad a little more interesting.
2. If advertising a BBS:
a. Send me a normal-access user acount pre-registered. In
other words, add an Eric Hsiao to your user roster and
pick a password and send it to me (along with your ad).
b. Sysops must let me know before each and every issue comes
out that they want their ad in it. This will help me keep
track of which boards are still up and which ones have gone
down. This will save our readers from the trouble of dialing
long distance to a board and getting a "Sorry, the number you
have dialed has been disconnected..." I am unable to accept
requests that say "Please put my BBS ad for the next 10
issues." If you want your BBS ad in the next 10 issues, you
much notify me before the deadline of each of the 10 issues
that you want the ad in.
3. If contributing money for an ad:
a. A full page with customized drawn graphics by me will general-
ly run around $75 - add $25 for each additional issue that you
want the ad in.
b. Pre-supplied/drawn graphics full page size will generally
be around $50 - add $25 for each additional issue that you
want the ad in.
c. Half a page of custom graphics will run around $30 - add $10
for each additional issue that you want the ad in.
d. Pre-supplied/drawn graphics half size will be around $15 -
add $10 for each additional issue that you want the ad in.
e. Please keep in mind that these are only general numbers, I am
very flexible and will negotiate. Also, unlike the FREE BBS
ad policy, you can request that your ad be in for a certain
number of issues (ex. "Please put my full page ad in the
January issue for a contribution of $50, plus I would like
to see it in the March/April and May/June issues for an
additional contribution of $50 (2 x $25). See above for
contribution guidelines.
f. Contributions not need be in the form of monetary units
(money). Instead, products of interest to me such as a
PostScript Laser Printer, v32Bis Modem, etc. would really
be appreciated.
4. Any legitimate commercial/non-profit/organization/group can
advertise in GIF News. GIF News retains the right to refuse
any advertisement due to content, space considerations, or
other reasons. We try to screen all advertisers for legitimacy.
Complaints against advertisers should be directed toward the
advertiser or the Better Business Bureau, not GIF News.
