entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, financial analysts, media, investors, corporate decision makers, lecturers, students and teachers.
o3 advertising opportunities
Currently there are five sections that make up o3 - o3 magazine, o3 news, o3 wire, o3cast.tv and o3 events. Both traditional CPM-based advertising and Google AdSense are offered on all sections. The
digital spread is only available at o3 magazine. o3cast.tv offers an number of possibilities to promote a project, product or service. Our o3 newswire service provides projects and businesses with a FREE
real-time press release solution.
Google AdSense
We utilize three types of Google AdSense banner, these confirm to the following IAB Ad Unit Guidelines:
Leaderboard (728 x 90)
Square Button (125 x 125)
Wide Skyscraper (160 x 600)
The Square Button is placed in the center of the footer on every page at o3. The Leaderboard is at the top of each page.
Immediately to the right of the Leaderboard is our Media Sponsored Event advertisement which is always 215 x 110. The
Wide Skyscraper is used in the sidebar on articles, news, wire, events and o3cast.tv sites.
Digital Spreads
The digital answer to the traditional magazine 2-page spread, our Digital Spread advertising option provides a seamless solution to capture the reader's attention. Unlike a traditional spread, the
Digital Spread can display any content that can be served over the web. Instead of having to encourage the reader to click on an advertisement to visit your site, you can display the site or any other
content immediately to them. The interface enables the reader to close the view when they are done, having never left the content they were interested in viewing. The solution can display many different
pages with a simple next and previous navigation system. To see a demo of this solution, simply click on the Blog link at the top of this page. Digital Spreads cost a fraction of traditional print two
page spreads, can be easily tracked through your own web server statistics and offer a powerful new mechanism for advertisers.
Note: Our Digital Spread service is only available on o3 magazine articles, we do not display Google AdSense ads on pages which utilize our Digital Spread feature. Digital Spread content must work
within the framework and cannot contain code that prevents the user from accessing the original content they were seeking to view.
Traditional CPM
We offer traditional CPM for both the Wide Skyscraper and Square Button formats.
