We are very excited about {dvl}DB and we hope that it will grow to
become an invaluable resource for our industry. With that in mind we
believe that registration and use of {dvl}DB should be free.
Our featured company spot is paid advertising space, but is still
within the spirit of the site, and will help us cover hosting and
maintenance fees. So we encourage you to buy some time on our front
page for your company.
If you have not already registered and created your personal profile you may not be aware that you have the opportunity to customize the information and logo in all of your {dvl}DB profiles. Our editor and moderator security features protect your data from alteration by unauthorized individuals. The short copy text you enter for you company profile together with your company logo are displayed in the featured company space.
When you purchase a number of impressions your company will begin
to be periodically featured on our home page. An impression is a
single time that your company is featured. We keep track of the
number of impressions (the number of times your company has been
featured) and will stop featuring your company once all of your
impressions have been used up.
The best way to explain the mechanism we use to determine which
company we feature is to imagine that we have printed a number of
business cards with your company name on them. The number of cards
is the number of impressions you have purchased. We put your cards
together with all the cards from all the other companies in a hat and
pull one out at random. Once we have pulled out a card it is
discarded and we pull out another card the next time our homepage is
displayed.
So you can see that the best way to ensure that your company is
featured frequently is to have a larger number of impressions.
Once you have purchase advertising with us we add a link to your Company Profile for you to view a summary of how many times your company has been featured and details for the last month for when and who saw your company in the featured location.
Our CPM is $12. (CPM is cost per thousand impressions). So you can have your company featured 1,000 times for only $12.
