Advertorial
Advertorial
What is an Advertorial?
An advertorial, is an advertising news article. It introduces our visitors to your products and / or services and can include:
- A description of your offering including its features and benefits. This description can be supplied as a Word document, PDF, or better still:
HTML text
to ensure the formatting appears as you like it. No stylesheet please.
- A thumbnail image for the preview.
-
Up to 5 additional photos, each up to 700 pixels width and 700 pixels height. If you don't have suitable images, you may find some on
Pixabay.
- Links to: your website, e-mail address,
Skype,
Twitter,
Facebook,
LinkedIn and more
- Other calls to action, e.g. a survey, form, buttons, etc. Our in-house development team can provide bespoke and custom solutions for excellent visitor engagement.
Where are advertorials shown and for how long?
Advertorials are shown in the following places upon request:
Where | How long / how often? |
 femaleSOCCER.net Home Page |
Advertorials appear for a minimum of 3 days. They will then be automatically shifted down and off the page as new advertorials are added, so they may
appear for long than 3 days.
An advertorial can be pinned to the page (by femaleSOCCER) for a pre-defined duration, e.g. a week, month, etc.
|
 |
We will issue at least one tweet mentioning the advertorial via @femaleSOCCER. You
can request additional Tweets (for a nomimal fee) at any time. |
 | We will share the advertorial on the femaleSOCCER facebook page at least once. You can request
additional shares (for a nominal fee) at any time. |

Campaigns can also be tailored for advertorials to appear on femaleLIFESTYLE, our sister site.
Search Engine Friendly
Search engines crawl the femaleSOCCER.net daily, because it changes daily. Adding your advertorial to femaleSOCCER.net results in your product / service being added to
the search engine quickly. People searching for your product / service will see the advertorial, often on the first page of search results.
Affiliates
We will present adverts from a select few affiliate platforms at our discretion - primarily Amazon and those presented on Affiliate Window. It is very unlikely we would
consider other affiliate schemes unless they are of a similar scale (to Amazon and Affiliate Window). If you operate such a scheme, please consider instead the other alternative
advertising options presented on this page.
Animation
To greatly improve on your chances of visitors noticing, then clicking on your banner, we strongly recommend that you use an animated GIF. If you don't have such an image
available, please consider using our image manipulation service. We can create an animated GIF from images you supply.
|
Images including banners / buttons and photos
In general, our sites are split up into zones, each zone with a specific purpose.
Banners for Supplier Zone and page sponsorship particularly, must be 120 pixels width to fit the advertising strip on the right of the page.
When you discuss options with our commercial staff, we use the following terms and standard sizes:
We can feature .jpg or .gif format

Single height: 60 pixels, Double height: 61-120 pixels, Long / skyscraper: >120 pixels

Header zones and header banners |
|
|
Location
The Header Zone is found at the very top of the page to the right of the site / page logo. It's reserved for page and site sponsors and
run-of-site header banners. Header banners can also appear at the bottom or even (but rarely) the middle of the page.
Dimensions
It's usually the largest image on the page and is therefore, particularly when animated - the most eye-catching.
Standard: 480x60 pixels
Maximum: 480x100 pixels
Who are they for?
Header banners will often be featured in a page / site sponsorship package. They're suited to people looking for high click-through rates,
but are also great for pure brand promotion.
|
|
|
Side banner
A side banner appears on the left (under the menu) or the right of any page on the site. It must be 120 pixels width, but can
be almost any height (standard is 60 pixels). It can be animated to attract attention.

Don't have e-commerce on your website? Use the femaleSOCCER Shop.
The femaleSOCCER website has been integrated with the secure WorldPay on-line payment solution for accepting card payments over the Internet.
We have a custom e-commerce engine designed to be very flexible with requirements. We can add your products and services into the femaleSOCCER
Shop and sell them for you - accepting payment, then forwarding cleared payments onto you.
You can for example offer your club / team memorabilia, replica kit, training materials, season tickets, etc.
|
|
Survey / competition / giveaway |
|
|
We will only run surveys, competitions and giveaways as part of an advertising package.
Giveaways
Giveaways are a great way of collecting names and contact details for your future marketing activities. The product / service you're giving
away needn't be particularly expensive. Bio-Synergy recently gave away Bio-Synergy Sports Water bottles - which proved to be very popular and
resulted in them collecting hundreds of contacts for their address book within a week. You could also consider giving away a discount that's
exclusive to our visitors.
Surveys and Competitions
If you're considering releasing a product or service and don't have the time or resource to undertake market research - why not use our websites?
As an incentive, offer the people who participate free entry into a prize draw competition. We can quickly put together voting panels, web forms
and place them in an advertorial to appear in
the features section of a site and issued out with the e-newsletter.
|
|
|
Our customisable voting panel can be tailored to suit you needs, allowing you to ask our audience almost any question in any
format. We can then collect and collate results for you to include in your marketing analysis. The results can be public or private
to suit you.
We can link the voting form to data collection (e.g. contact details) forms, features, competitions and special offers to encourage
visitor participation.
The voting form can be placed anywhere on our sites, including run of site and run of group (all sites) for maximum coverage.
|
|
|
|
|
Want to get a message over quickly to our thousands of registered users? Why not sponsor an e-newsletter? The e-newsletter can be sent
once a week, usually on a Wednesday and can include almost any feature that can be shown on a web page, e.g. banners, forms, links,
etc.
|
|
|
We will only exchange links with (male and female) football clubs, fan sites and non-commercial organisations at our discretion.
Other organisations should consider a Supplier Zone entry.
|
|
|
Development services
We have advanced in-house web development service, and can put together any feature you may require, including web forms, e-commerce solutions,
surveys, etc. Simply tell us what you need and we'll provide you with a quote. If the development work is minimal, we'll even do it for free.
Our web sites are hosted on dedicated servers using industry standard web applications and programming languages, including an SQL database.
Design Services
Some of our advertising clients don't have dedicated design resources available, or find it a pain or too costly to use a design agency to
produce something quickly for a short campaign. Perhaps you'd like to use an animated banner but only have static
banner available. We are able to put together any web-based solution including simple image manipulation. Simply discuss
your requirements with our Commercial Team.
|
|
|
We have 2 types of exclusivity available:
- Advertiser exclusivity - yours is the only advert on the page
- Space exclusivity - yours is the only advert in a particular space
If you haven't discussed space exclusivity, we reserve the right to sell the adverising space used by your banner to other clients and to present
multiple banners in that space either on a random basis, or rotating content basis. A prime example of non-exclusisivity is with a Supplier Zone
entry. Your banner will appear randomly in the Supplier Zone throughout our websites - but only a certain number of banners will appear in the
Zone.
|
|
|
Payment and credit
When you have accepted our quotation, we will request a purchase order number / order reference, and we'll issue a pro-forma invoice. The
pro-forma invoice must be paid in full before any work will start. No credit terms will be offered.
Booking
Your booking starts from the date that you accept your order, or from a date agreed with our Commercial Staff. It is your responsibility to
provide any content, artwork and payment in a prompt fashion.
Cancellations and Refunds
You have a right to cancel your booking within 14 days of your order being placed. To cancel your booking you must write to:
support@femalesoccer.net.

If we have undertaken any agreed work upon booking cancellation, we reserve the right to charge you at our standard rate for that work.
Changes to these Terms and Conditions
We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions without prior notice, however, the Terms and Conditions in force at the time of you
placing your order will remain in force for the duration of that contract.
