See that ad up there, merrily framed in the Platinum glory of all that is AtAT? That could be you! Well, okay, not really, but that could be your banner! And come to think of it, if you were to put your picture on your banner, then technically, that could be you up there, and...
...Let's start over.
We're here to tell you about advertising on AtAT, why you should do it, and how it will bring you a lifetime of fulfillment and spiritual bliss-- or, at least, how it'll bring some traffic to your web site. Consider these seven uncontestable points:
AtAT viewers are a diverse and Mac-crazy lot. C'mon, face it: our quirky content can't be beat. We're one of the only Mac-centric entertainment sites on the web-- our stuff is crisp and juicy, we took actual English courses in high school and college, and we even know how to spell. Since AtAT broadcasts fresh, piping-hot episodes each weekday, we've built up a fanatically loyal following of addicted viewers who will gladly buy your wares simply because we tell them to. Yes, they're that devoted. (Don't stare at them, or they may cut you.) See, after over four years of cranking this stuff out, we're a finely-honed machine. We are unstoppable. Submit before we destroy you.
Advertising on AtAT is still a great value. We charge less for ad impressions than almost everyone else out there. We think. Nobody else will actually tell us what they charge, so we can't know for sure, but we've got a pretty good idea. Just to spite those guys right back, we're not posting our rates here either, but if you contact us for more info, you'll like what you see. We promise. (Promise not valid in Utah or Ohio.)
It's a great option for the "little guy." You can buy impressions in blocks as low as 10,000. If you're just looking for a small ad run that won't break your budget, AtAT's there to help. Generate some traffic for your new web site. Jump-start that Chia-Mac-by-mail business you're running out of your garage. Shareware developers: ask about our discount program!
Advertise exclusively on "Vote Early, Vote Often" by the week. For one low flat rate, you can have the only banner running on AtAT's popular daily poll for an entire week-- it's a perfect option for advertisers on limited budgets looking for a quick way to reach a community of Mac-loving wackos. We guarantee a minimum number of impressions, but the sky's the limit. Now that's value!
We offer flexible options for no extra cost. Split up your impressions among up to three different banners-- even pointing to three different URLs-- and pay the same rate. Now you can promote your flagship product, your current contest, and your latest development all with one inexpensive block of impressions. Nifty!
Real-time stats and reporting. Want to know how your ads are doing? It couldn't be simpler; each AtAT sponsor gets a password-protected URL that lists the impression count for each banner in the rotation, tells how many clicks each banner has received, and even shows a click-through log with the date and time of each click. Why, it's easier than accidentally corrupting a Windows Registry file!
Feel good about supporting a quality Mac-centric, Mac-created, and Mac-served site who could really use the cash. That's right, now we're just begging. Pathetic, isn't it? Please advertise with us. The rent's due, and the cable company's threatening to cut us off... We're in way over our heads, people! C'mon, throw us a frickin' bone, here!
In any event, if you'd like more information about advertising on AtAT, head over to our Contact page and drop us a line with the category "Ad Info." We'll contact you shortly.
What do you mean this info doesn't belong in the Help section? When you sponsor our show, you're helping us-- to help you sell whatever it is you're hawking. See? SEE?!

DISCLAIMER: AtAT is not a news site any more than "Inside Edition" is a "real" news show. We make "Dawson's Creek" look like "60 Minutes." We engage in rampant guesswork, wild speculation, and pure fabrication for the entertainment of our viewers. Sure, everything here is "inspired by actual events," but so was "Amityville II: The Possession." So lighten up.
