Advertising Information

Welcome to ProTeacher!

A professional community for elementary school teachers:

Since 1999, one of the most popular and carefully moderated discussion sites for elementary school teachers featuring hundreds of active discussions, and tens of thousands of teaching ideas provided free of charge to teachers nationwide.


We currently offer three ways for advertisers to reach our visitors: Google AdWords, multiple-format banner advertising, and door prize (and contest) sponsorship:

I. Google AdWords

Google AdWords appear throughout ProTeacher. To learn more about Google AdWords, visit Google AdWords

We think Google AdWords are one of the very best ways a budget-minded advertiser can promote themselves online. In fact, we've used AdWords ourselves to promote ProTeacher. Visitors like them, we like them, and we think you'll like them.

With AdWords, you set up your own ads using Google's easy-to-use website. Then, you determine the price you are willing to pay for each new visitor referred to your website. You have complete control over what your ad says, when it appears, and how much you spend.

Your ads appear on Google and relevant sites like ProTeacher.

Visit Google AdWords. Get started for less than $10!


II. Banner Advertising

In partnership with our network advertising partner Tribalfusion, we offer run-of-site banner placement. A variety of ad formats including Standard Banner, Leaderboard, Rectangles, Skyscraper (special request), and Wide Skyscraper (special request) are available.

We display banners prominently on attractive, uncluttered pages that don't compete visually with your artwork.

We know Tribalfusion has worked with major educational publishers and can work with YOU to design a successful, cost-effective banner campaign on ProTeacher and its network of related web sites.

III. Door Prize Sponsorship

We periodically offer "door prizes" to random visitors.

Advertisers are invited to provide prizes in the form of merchandize (preferably) or gift certificates. The prizes must offer the winner something of real value for free (so our visitors WANT to win). No coupons, free trials, or the like will be allowed. The advertiser will also pay shipping costs, and a negotiable advertising fee to ProTeacher. We'll handle promoting the contest, picking the winner and mailing the prize.

Advertisers can sign up for one or more weeks. We'll work with you to design a unique and memorable promotion!


This week's Door Prize:

Your Product Here!
Our door prize drawing is a highly interactive and fun promotional opportunity consisting first of a large 180x150 advertising spot right on our Home page linked to your web site. You provide the graphic.

<< BIG 180x150 Graphic!

An associated Door Prize Page is where we'll announce the weekly winners. It features more information about the prize (your product). This includes again your 180x150 graphic (or other graphics you provide) and copy and links specified by you!

You get a whole page to sell your product! You design the html or we'll create it for you. Either way, we'll work with you to produce an effective page-sized ad!
