Thank you for your interest in advertising on the HonestGamers site. If you have questions, you'll find most relevant information below in an FAQ format. Read through and if you're still interested in advertising (we hope you are), you'll find instructions and pricing information at the end.

If you have a question that is not addressed on the page below, you should feel free to contact site staff. We will try to address all ad inquiries quickly and directly.
What is the site's intended demographic and what sort of traffic does it get?
We have found that providing accurate information about our constantly evolving demographic is difficult, since we provide such a broad variety of content and are constantly surprised by the variety of users we attract. Therefore, we now refer you to Quantcast, an independent online resource that tracks and compiles information for this site and millions of others. This service provides what we believe to be an accurate accounting of the users that visit all areas of our site.
Who can advertise on the site?
Anyone with a product or service they wish to announce to our readers is welcome to inquire about an advertising position. We make decisions on a case-by-case basis and have no specific criteria except as pertains to the style of the ad.
What sort of ads are permitted?
We typically accept only banner and Flash ads. Pop-up and interstitial ads are not permitted, nor are ads that make sound except in cases where ads feature content that users can click to hear or otherwise expand. Additionally, we will not advertise ROM sites, adult sites or those that contain hateful content and commentary.
Where are my ads displayed and what are the size requirements?
We allow two ad types, which will be referenced in the price chart near the bottom of the page. They are the 'horizontal' ad (728Wx90H) that displays along the top of the site just below the logo (note that this ad is displayed only when a current advertiser is paying for its placement, so you may not see an example on the current page) and the 'marquee' ad (300Wx250H) that displays below and to the right of the horizontal ad (above our right column of content).
What if I'm not happy with the amount of traffic my ads generate?
Unfortunately, all we can do is display the ads on our site, in accordance with the terms outlined on this page. If you find that the traffic you receive is not as significant as you anticipated, we apologize but can not refund your money. Traffic that your ad receives can vary wildly for any number of factors outside of our control. Please remember that we do not compel our users to click on your ads. Your content should do the talking.
Will ads for games have any impact on site content?
If you are advertising an upcoming game release on our site, we appreciate your investment. However, placing an ad on the site does not guarantee that your product will be reviewed favorably, or even that it will be reviewed at all. If you want us to review your game, you will need to contact us directly and arrange to send us a copy of your software.
How much does an ad space cost?
Advertising space is available at a weekly rate only. The diagram below indicates what it will cost you to advertise in one or more ad spaces on the site. As you can see, you'll receive discounts as you purchase more ad space at once and for greater periods of time. Prices are quoted in USD ($).
