Michael's underestimating quite a bit there. I set up a couple of 10,000 impression campaigns yesterday. They've run out already.

But, as he says, it depends how many people are advertising. There are about 250,000 impressions to divide among advertisers each day.

Thanks for the details, Michael and Morrus. Is it possible to target your ads to appear only in certain forums (in the SH section, the General Discussion forum, etc.)?

'Fraid not. The only locational targetting there is is the front page leaderboard ads.

Thanks Russ. So, if there are N different advertising efforts/day, and approximately 250,000 impressions available per day, if I bought one million impressions, they could last anywhere from four days (if i was the only advertiser on the entire site), to about 16 days (if there were four advertisers on the site @ 62,500 impressions/advertiser/day), to about 40 days (if there were ten advertisers on the site @ 25,000 impressions/advertiser/day).

This doesn't account for a changes in the number of advertisers on any given day, since not all ad campaigns have the same timing or uniform number of impressions being bought. Do you have any other general guidelines/scenarios like the above that you could share, to help understand the duration of an advertising campaign? Even if you just added in one more campaign to the current advertiser load today, at each of the impression amounts, that would help provide some more context.

Lastly, how many advertisers does ENWorld average on any given day?

Thanks again for all of the clarifications and details

Heck, it'd be nice if we could at least get 'em to vote. I mean with that many viewers, to have under 1K in votes for the Ennies is a little... embarassing.

There's usually about 10 advertisers at any given time. That varies, of course. Of course, traffic fluctuates, too, so predictions are hard to make - that's why the ads are sold by impressions, not by time period.

Thanks again Russ
