Why do we sell advertising?
It costs a lot to host, maintain, and update this site. As traffic inceases each year, so do those costs. Any money earned from advertising is put towards these costs and site development.
Why advertise with us?
This site receives an average of over 1,000,000 visitors per month (as of May 2007), and increase from 600,000 visitors per month as of June 2006 and is growing every month as the word gets out. This is almost twice the traffic that 49erswebzone.com received last year. The number is measured during the offseason. During the regular football season, traffic increases. If your business would benefit from this kind of exposure, advertising on our site may work for you. Just remember your target audience...sports fans. Thousands of fans flock to this site daily to read current news, get team information, communicate in the forum, and much more.
How is this done?
The advertising banner at the top of the page and the advertising buttons on the right side menu are our advertising spots. We typically only keep enough spots open to cover our expenses. Spots do open up though. If you cannot create a banner ad, let us know and we may be able to help you. Once these banners are clicked, they will go to the URL of your choice.
How many times will my ad be seen?
As of May 2006, we average about 35,000 visitors a day. Again, this is a number that continues to grow and grow as word gets out. However, each of those visitors may view other pages on this site which will increase the number of your banner impressions.

Are there ads you will NOT accept?
Yes! Because this site is viewed by every age group, we can not accept ads that would be seen as offensive. This includes nudity and graphic violence. We have the right to decline any advertisers we choose and the right to terminate a contract should your ads, at any time, fall into this category. While we allow ads created using Flash, we do not allow Flash ads that use up a heavy amount of bandwidth or that have sound that automatically plays. We also do not allow pop-up ads, ads that will block portions of the site from view or ads that cause harm or unwanted information stored on a user's computer.
How is payment handled?
Payment can be arranged using a check made out to "David Bonilla", PayPal or by wiring money to an account we will specify. Payment must be made before an advertisement is placed on the site. You will receive a Purchase Order in PDF format once a deal is agreed upon. Once payment is made, it can not be refunded. If you have any questions regarding payment, please contact us.
