Advertising Legend

  • Inline Banner Rotation - All Advertising Banners are placed in an 'Advertising Queue'. Each time the Lumber Trader main pages are brought up the a new banner will rotate into place. This feature depends greatly on the individuals browser setup. If pages are 'cached' for a greater time then banners may not rotate as fast.
  • Items Sort Before - Whenever a search is done, Public or Wholesale Key, the items will be displayed by the week of entry. If you are a Lumber Trader advertiser your items will sort by week and then advertising level. Items from non-advertisers will sort to the bottom of the list.
  • Targeted Categories - Each Banner Level can have several Categories associated with each banner. When someone does a search for a particular Category your banner will be among the banners (for that Category) that can be rotated into view. Words or Word Partials also play a factor in which banner is selected.
  • Targeted Words or Word Partials - Each search can also have word or words entered by the user to look for a particular product. You can choose which words for which Categories for which banners you wish to have. Whenever a search is done for your Category and your Word your banner will be 'more likely' brought into view. If your banner is not the only one for this Category and Word than each banner that match the search criteria will be brought into view on a 'rotated' basis.
  • Targeted Service Codes - These Service Codes are Company Service Codes. When a Company search is performed for your particular Service Codes, your banner will be 'more likely' brought into view. If your banner is not the only one for this Company Service Code than each banner that match the Service Code will be brought into view on a 'rotated' basis.
