a TV monitor. With just a click of a finger, our
Smart90 "key word" clicking tool, offers an almost
instantaneous answer to promotion ideas. Company
promotional material that appears on a TVI Magazine
Web site can be hyper linked with your company's
own URL. TVI Magazine can also link your ads to a
special Web page that your customer's own URL can
be linked to, for updated tvnews about your goods,
products or
services.
-----To
ensure that visitors find their way to promotion
information and product updates, TVI Magazine is
partnered with more than 250 of the world's most
popular search engines and electronic
directories.
-----Online
ad space can be purchased in monthly increments,
(with a one-month minimum). At renewal time,
advertisers can change their ad and/or move it to
another front page space if one is available. Your
TVI Magazine WebAD will indicate the total number
of hits on the home page per month and per day,

display and click ad advertising can be posted on
the TVI Magazine site within a few hours. However,
in the event that any graphic manipulation is
required, one must allow more time before the ad is
posted, usually two to seven business days for a
static banner and up to 10 business days for an
animated banner ad.
.-----It
just goes to show you, says Troy about the Telecom
Advertising industry -- "NOTHING IN THIS WORLD
IS PERMANENT" . . . so follow the
money -
- and
take some advice from a dinner-time chat with
"Stonehead"
-- Disappointments Are
Great! Follow the Money . . . the Internet and the
Smart- Daaf Boys.
