NewsBlaze :: Advertising
Advertising opportunities on NewsBlaze.com are configured to help our advertisers promote their brand or product in the best possible light and to give the best ROI possible, consistent with remembering that our readers and subscribers could be their customers and the customers of other advertisers.
This means that there are some restrictions on the kind of advertising we allow. NewsBlaze advertisers want their customers to be engaged and qualified. NewsBlaze does not accept advertisers who want to blast readers with flashing or gaudy ads that insult their senses or intelligence, so you can be assured that if your ad shares a page with another company's ad, the other advertiser will not be chasing away your prospect. After all, your prospect is also our reader and we want them to return and take the opportunity to visit you again.
