TGS GEAR MALL
ADVERTISING OPTIONS

Premium single page ads are in high traffic locations in the TGS Gear Mall such as the Mall's front page and the Seller Control Panel front page--neither of which enables keyword advertising. These pages are the first point of contact for most users, therefore, experiencing the highest possible user traffic.

The Gear Mall front page is the entrance to the mall and thereby, ideal for advertisers targetting consumers (e.g. users, players, guitar enthusiasts, collectors, etc.)--B2C (i.e. business-to-consumer).

The Seller Control Panel front page is exclusive to member Sellers and is ideal for advertisers targetting Sellers (e.g. private sellers, retailers, merchants, dealers, service providers, manufacturer-direct sellers)--B2B (i.e. business-to-business).

Dynamic multi-page keyword ads enable the advertiser to target consumers in all mall pages other than the front page. An advertiser can buy up to 20 different keywords per ad. There are five main mall sections that consist of list pages and detail pages in which ads appear. These sections are (1) Instruments, (2) Gear, (3) Merchandise, (4) Services, and (5) Directory of Sellers.

An advertiser can purchase between 1 and 20 keywords per ad. Whenever a user does a "search" for instruments, gear, merchandise, services, or sellers in the directory, the advertiser's ad appears in the outputted list of results page and corresponding detailed page.

Quicklinks are listed in the front page of the mall and in the right-hand column of all other mall pages.
