We offer various ways of advertising. A small explanation is listed below. If you're interested in advertising at RS, please read it and contact us through our contact page.

Option 1: Banner Advertising.

We have our own advertising system in which we offer various options:
Right now we offer CPM (Cost Per 1000 Impressions) deals. Your ad will be added into rotation and you'll receive a login and password to follow its stats here and to modify any information while your campaign is running.
Added into rotation means that it will rotate on our site along with other advertisers. This deal will assure you an amount of impressions no matter how long it will take. The deal starts from 50000 impressions.

We support 2 different sizes at the moment:   468x60 banners & 728x90 banners

Banner Specifications
* banner must be <20 kb
* you can have multiple banners (5) more will be charged extra
* hosting can be done by us or yourself
* static, gif, flash, all sizes are supported

Rap Search is represented by Gorilla Nation. Please contact Gorilla Nation for ad rates, packages and general advertising information. So if you want to run targeted or fixed campaigns on our site you can contact them. Other sizes (towers / popups / squares / expandable banners etc) are also available through them.

Option 2: PPC (Pay-Per-Click) Inhouse or Google.

The once thing that seperates us from the others. PPC stands for Pay Per Click. RS offers an advertising system which allows advertisers to bid on certain keywords or categories. 'Bidding' means that you can buy a top spot in our search engine. The one who bids the most for a certain keyword or category gets displayed as #1 when our visitors search for the specific keyword or browse to the category. More info...

Google
Site targeting lets AdWords advertisers choose individual sites in the Google content network where they’d like their ads to appear. If you want to place your ad on a single international website, you can. If you want to select dozens of sites about hiphop music or anythign else, you can do that, too. Site targeting lets you handpick your audience, big or small. Advertise on Rapsearch through Google

You will have access to:
- Daily costs report
- Stats report (see what keyword/category gets clicks)

Option 3: Upgrade your sites listing with an image.

It's a fact that people click images more often that just text links. We offer the option to buy a button (88x31 & 100x100) next to your sites listing here in our search engine. This will get more attention and better clicks.

Option 4: Sponsoring events/tourneys we keep in our community.

The RS Community is a very active hangout for hiphop lovers. We run audio tournaments, text tournaments and much more! If you're interested in sponsoring one of these community-related events do not hesistate to contact us.
