If you have more than one advertisement, we have the ability to rotate your ads within the space allotted for a small additional charge.

Contest Donation Ad
One final means of advertising here with The Green Dragon is by means of a contest sponsorship. We love to host contests and giveaways of products anytime you feel you have something to giveaway that would help generate traffic both here to The Green Dragon and to your site being advertised. Basically, you donate an appropriate amount of toys or collectibles and we will place a comparable AD for you on our site (in addition to having your logo on the contest page as the sponsor). The folks at The Outer Reaches have been a contest sponsor at The Green Dragon for over 2 years and it has been a wonderful relationship. Tax deductible donations for you, plus advertising, and we get to giveaway FREE stuff to our visitors! We all win with this option!
Price (Monthly): Monthly/Quarterly donation for comparable ad placement

Payment information: We would appreciate that advertisers be willing to make QUARTERLY payments for their advertising slots. However, we are more than willing to work with you if this is inappropriate for your advertising campaign (e.g. perhaps you are having a special month and only need to promote your site for that special month). We also accept Paypal Payments including Credit Card payments.

Getting Started: First, decide which method of advertising you want. Second, send an e-mail to this address: news@thegd.com explaining your ad request and we will follow up with further payment and image transmission details.
