Lutheran Central celebrated it's 1st anniversary on Feb. 11, 2002. The number of visitors has grown  steadily and continues to grow about 10% per month. Beginning  May 25, 2003, we will begin a new marketing campaign to pastors and churches.  Before the end of 2003, we will also begin a  bi-monthly "ezine" that can be read in the site or received via email. It will feature prominent Lutherans who who have a unique and fresh point of view.  Those who  who join with us early will enjoy priority placement when advertising placement becomes competitive. 

We encourage you to target your ad by placing it in pages where the viewers you want to reach will visit frequently. For example, a university will want to purchase either on the front page, or the college/university page where viewers will be searching to find a university to attend.
 

Lutheran Central has specific sections and directories that appeal to certain select users - like congregational leaders, members, pastors, youth leaders, college students, and many more .  It is best  to place ads and write ad copy based on users you want to respond to your ad. 
 

On a monthly basis, we can  furnish you with  statistics regarding your ads.  We use an independent web measurement company to gather these statistics.  The basic measurements of "impressions delivered"  are available . This reporting does however take additional time for us and may or may not be useful to you so there will be an additional fee charged for this service . The standard basic measurements of "hits" , "page views", "unique visitors", "ads delivered" and "click throughs" are only useful in certain businesses . The bottom line is ; did we send you a fair number of visitors and interest our visitors in your ministry , service organization or products ? You can best measure this by linking your ad to an auxiliary page of your site so that you can clearly see the number of visitors we are sending to you site.  You can then  monitor  the number of visitors we send you on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis .
 

We are accepting  "box ads" on the right side of the page and banner ads on the bottom of the page which are clickable and link to your site or advertisement.  The standard "box ad" size is about 1 3/4 inches wide and 1  inch tall when viewed on an 15" monitor.  ( For those of you who develop ads, the size in pixels is 130 pixels wide by  70 pixels high.)  Non-standard size ads may be negotiated. 
We will not be accepting top of page banner ads, as they tend to be less liked and less effective.  Side box ads and bottom banners however are well accepted, and generate more credibility for you and us .Pls. see the ads on the following sites as examples of side box ads :  newWway.org,  abc.com , dallasnews.com , washtimes.com , post-gazette.com , 
 

We will give priority to Lutheran advertisers and/or business owners where possible.  However, where space is available and other advertisers work out well we will give then priority  based on  a "first come -first served" basis. We will accept only advertising we believe in the best interest of our audience and site design . We reserve the right to cancel ads if we receive what we believe to be legitimate complaints.
