There are many advertising opportunities on Rocketry Planet.  The most widely used and accepted form of advertising is with banner ads.  It the site's current configuration, there are three "zones" for banner placement.  Those zones, TOP, SIDE & BOTTOM are laid out in the graphic below: 

1. TOP position:
   Banners that run in the TOP position are 468 pixels wide by 60 pixels high, with two exceptions: Forum and Auction ads.  Ads in those two areas can be 468 pixels wide by 60 pixels high or 720 pixels wide by 90 pixels high.  As an advertiser, you can target specific ads and place them in specific sections.  The TOP position is not currently available in the Forum or Auction sections, but exceptions can be made.
2. SIDE position:
   Banners that run along the SIDE position are 160 pixels wide by any height dimension, although industry standard sizes range from 90 pixels in height to 600 pixels. The tab marked "A" indicates the entire area in which SIDE ads can be placed.  Ads can be stacked for multiple placements along the same zone.  Obviously a SIDE banner that is 180 pixels high takes the space of two 90 pixel high banners and would be priced accordingly, but it gives the advertiser control over the zone on that section of the site. The SIDE position is not available for the Forum or Auction sections.
3. BOTTOM position:
   Banners that run in most positions of the BOTTOM position are 468 pixels wide by 60 pixels high, with two exceptions: Forum and Auction ads.  Ads in those two areas can be 468 pixels wide by 60 pixels high or 720 pixels wide by 90 pixels high, as indicated by the tab marked "B".
