When you advertise your political or activism blog, favorite cause, candidate, political action committee, or event for as little as $6.00, you also help support PatriotCalendar.com! Advertising revenue is our way of defraying the costs of operating PatriotCalendar.com and will help ensure that as the site grows we can continue to serve you by enhancing server resources and increasing bandwidth as needed.
PatriotCalendar.com offers a pixel advertising platform, inspired by the famous Million Dollar Homepage. We've chosen this method, not for its sensationalism, but because it provides highly affordable and unobtrusive but effective advertising. Unlike the Million Dollar Homepage, which sold ad space for $1.00 per pixel, ads on PatriotCalendar.com cost as little as 6 cents per pixel!
You may purchase pixel ads on our website in increments of 100 pixels (10x10 blocks).
Important Policies:
1) If you advertise a political candidate, you MUST specify the ad text to be a disclaimer something like the following:
"Paid for by the XYZ PAC and not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee. Contact us at:
XYZ PAC, 203 First Street SE, Washington, DC 20001"
from FEC.gov:
Disclaimer Notice Required
Any independent expenditure for a public communication must include a clear and conspicuous notice in the printed material or during the broadcast. The notice must:
* State that the communication is not authorized by any candidate or his committee; and
* Identify the name and street address, telephone number or World Wide Web address of the person who financed the communication.
Any ad for a political candidate constitutes an Independent Expenditure, according to Federal Election Commission guidelines. If you purchase an ad for a political candidate that does not meet the FEC guidelines, it is subject to removal by PatriotCalendar.com administrator(s) and NO REFUND will be given.
2) Affiliate links (or marketing links) will generally be accepted IF they advertise American-made goods/products or American-owned services; however, all affiliate/marketing links are subject to approval and/or possible removal by PatriotCalendar administrator(s), at administrator(s) sole discretion, and NO REFUND will be given. We will not permit links advertising business opportunities or multi-level marketing (MLM) in any form.
3) Your ad is activated immediately upon confirmed payment; however, all advertisements are subject to PatriotCalendar.com administrator approval and/or deletion. We will not permit advertisements for pharmaceuticals, casinos, "link farms", sites with adult content, violence or hate propaganda, or any other site we deem inappropriate. In the event you post an inappropriate ad, NO REFUND will be given.
4) When you purchase advertising on PatriotCalendar.com, you are leasing space on PatriotCalendar.com in a designated area and for a specified duration. You are not purchasing any ownership or control of the PatriotCalendar.com website.
