We offer impression bonuses for multi-month contracts and routinely offer "specials" that help drive traffic to our clients' sites. Our banners are not refreshed during a visit, but are rotated randomly with other advertisers. Discounts of up to 40% are offered to freeware, shareware, and lower-priced commercial products as a commitment to our Mac community.
MacNN accepts third-party advertising (i.e., these are not sold directly by MacNN and sometimes these are deemed "inappropriate", cause errors, or are otherwise objectionable (due to content, performance, etc.). We encourage our readers to submit feedback about these banners/advertisements so that we may remedy the situation in the most efficient manner possible.
