How To Place a bid:

You can bid by Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPM), Cost Per Click-Thru (CPC), or Cost Per Time (CPT). Any way it goes - you decide the ad campaign that's best for you! Still not flexible enough? Then Make-An-Offer! Just Fill Out This FORM and we'll let you know within one business day if your bid was accepted.
Its Fast, Its Convenient ... But there's even more!
Here's what else you can do:
1.) Keep the graphic on your site, that way you can decide what gets displayed and when. One graphic isn't working for you? Change it! Have more than one item? Rotate them! AT NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!
2.) By keeping the graphic on your site, you can also verify the click-thrus simply by counting the number of times your graphic was called from Mayberry Chess! (Note: some users may browse with graphics off - those hits will not be shown in your counter, but will be shown in ours.)

Animated Graphics are allowed as long as:
  • The animation does not loop. That is, one interation of animation is all that is allowed. The size of the ads must fall within the criteria for the size of the ad. Of course, you may bid on an animated graphics ad that does not meet this requirements, but multi-loop animated graphics are not allowed.
Flash Ads are not allowed.
You may display those on your own page when the user browses there.
Pop-Up Ads are not allowed, with one exception.

There is an exception: If the ad contains significant chess content (i.e. a problem, puzzle), the ad will be considered.
