Q. How many people will see my ad?
A. The total monthly audience for Nonprofit Online News is about 50,000 people. (Remember that your ad will be up on the website, and will be sent out once in email to all subscribers.)
We provide several means of reaching those people: through email, the web sites, and through RSS feeds. That's how many people have the opportunity to see your ad. How many actually do will vary, just as it varies for the classifieds in a daily newspaper.
Ads get the most attention the first week or two after posting, after that it drops off, but there is a trickle of continuing attention.
Q. How can I get my Ad to be sent in more emails to your readers?
A. Each Ad purchased will be sent out to all Nonprofit Online News subscribers once (via email). We don't offer incremental pricing to send ads in more emails. The only way to get into multiple emails is to buy multiple ads.
Q. Are the classified ads limited to advertising from nonprofits?
A. No, not at all. We are not restricting the scope of ads. We are only reserving the right to reject ads in case something completely inappropriate gets submitted.
Q. Which category should my ad be placed in?
A. Please see the department descriptions on this page:
http://classifieds.nonprofitnews.org/about
