We don’t have many advertising policies, but we do have a few
Ad Eligibility
Our advertising program provides an exclusive opportunity for Bitterroot Valley advertisers to reach our website users.
As such, we welcome ads for the following:
Businesses in the Bitterroot Valley |
Bitterroot Valley Organizations & Events |
Bitterroot Valley Real Estate and Lodging listings |
Businesses located in neighboring communities that serve the Bitterroot Valley |
Ad Placement
Your ad will appear two ways on the Bitterroot Info website.
It will appear in Run of Site Placements and a Listing Placement.
Run of Site Placements are found on most pages of the website.
For example, the bottom of this page has a Run of Site Placement with 2 ads in the placement.
Run of Site Placements rotate all of our ads equally throughout the website.
Listings Placements are found throughout the Businesses, Lodging, and Real Estate pages of the website.
For example, our Food & Drink page includes Listing Placements from our advertisers in the food and drink business.
Your ad will be placed in the Listing Placement that best matches your business, product, service or listing.
If your advertisement belongs in multiple Listing Placements, we’ll place it in each appropriate placement.
Many pages of the website, like the Food & Drink example, include both Listing Placements and Run of Site Placements.
Ad Content
Bitterroot Info is rated G and meant for everyone. Ad approval is at the sole discretion of Bitterroot Info.
We won’t approve ads that:
Violate advertising or copyright law |
Contain content we deem inappropriate |
Involve politics, campaigns or candidates |
Link to a URL that would violate our content policy |
Ad Specifications
Ad images need to meet the following specifications:
300 x 250 at 72dpi |
.jpg or .png image format |
Static ads only. Dynamic ads are not approved |
For Real Estate and Vacation Rental Ads – Provide the featured image for the property in any size; we’ll prepare the ad from your image. |
Ad Changes
We want ads to perform well for advertisers and we encourage actively testing different ads to measure their effectiveness.
You can change your ad once per month at no additional fee on both monthly and annual plans.
Unused ad changes cannot be banked for future changes.
Please note that it may be more effective to run two ads at the same time to gauge performance against each other than to switch from one ad to another and back again.
Ad Payment
No payment or credit card is required to start your ad.
Ads are paid once they are live on the website and approved by you.
We will send a payment link with your ad approval email and you can make payment using the method of your choice.
Monthly and annual plans are automatically renewed until cancelled.
If your payment method expires and automatic renewal fails, we will notify you to update your payment method.
Unpaid ads will be removed from the website.
Ad Cancellation
Ads plans can be cancelled at any time.
However, no refunds will be made for unused portions of your prepaid plan.
Unused portions of prepaid plans are not transferrable.
