When you place a DVA (Dynamic Vertical Ad) within an issue of Dreams Alive Magazine, it becomes a permanant part of the issue you have placed it in and will draw traffic to your site for years to come. Meanwhile, for the 3 month duration of the issue, all DVA's associated with that issue (max 20 ads per issue) are randomly displayed on the home pages of Dreams Alive Magazine and Designing Online, as well as on the article search and listing pages of Dreams Alive Magazine.
With over 74,000 monthly page views by combining the Designing Online and Dreams Alive Magazine's home pages, 15 DVA's being randomly displayed will average 4,930 displays each per month...9,860 displays each during the 2 month term. At the very minimum, you could expect a 3% click-through or a total of 295 solid clicks. This can more than match and even double your initial listing expenses as compared to PPC...meanwhile, you will also be drawing in traffic from the permanantly placed DVA within the selected issue(s) of Dreams Alive Magazine...for years to come.
The primary purpose of the DVA is that they are ads that are permanently placed near the top of the right-hand column on the most appropriate page within Dreams Alive Magazine. What makes them "Dynamic" is the ability to host the graphics on your own server and any time you update your image(s), your DVA automatically shows your updated information.
Our Dynamic Vertical Ads are easily designed online using a very simple interface we have developed, plus, you can control the cost of the ad by how elaborate or how simple you wish it to be...however...the best and most powerful function of our Dynamic Vertical Ads is that they can truly provide you with a way to provide Dynamic content from your website that changes whenever you desire....AT NO ADDITIONAL COST....EVER!!
As an added bonus, you get a 5% discount for each additional issue you place your ad in...up to a 25% discount for placing your ad in all six issues of the year.
The duration of the advertisement is same as the duration of the issue. However, since this is an Online Magazine, you'll get exposure for years because each issue remains online as new issues are introduced. Each issue is submitted to all the major search engines and indexes, ensuring there will be traffic in that issue for a long time to come. Our statistics have shown that previous issues tend to get even more traffic that newly released issues.

People do read the classifieds. It's where they expect the best deals to originate from because they know you aren't spending tons of money on advertising. The less you spend, the less you have to charge.
One great benefit is that our classified section is hard coded, which means it exists as HTML code and is not generated on the fly by a script. This means that when the magazine is submitted to the search engines, your ad gets indexed as well. Not only is this great for generating business but this also helps improve your search engine popularity which improves the total capacity for clients to find your site.

As with all our advertising, only "Family Friendly" material is allowed, plus the advertising must have some connection to Home and Garden or decorating.
The Regular and Large ads provide a topic in Bold Print, followed by the description of your ad. Large ads also provide the option of adding an eye-catching graphic to the ad. The ad concludes with your name hot linked to your site and your site name spelled out as well. Since many people print out our magazine, your URL is visible for their reference.
