Advertiser Guide

A visual guide to current listing, premium banner, and rotating banner options.

Use this page like a brochure. It shows what each listing type, premium banner slot, and shared rotating banner option is designed to do.

Premium banner slots are exclusive. When a premium slot is already taken, the shared rotating slot directly below it can still be available as an alternate option.

Empty public banner slots can still show house-promotional pricing and calls to action. Once a real advertiser occupies a slot, the live banner stops acting like a ToFindAI sales card and instead links out to the advertiser.

Current desktop banner uploads are enforced by slot family. Homepage premium and below-homepage slots use 970 × 250. Main Directory, Main Category, Sub Category, and Search premium and below slots use 970 × 90. Mobile guidance is currently 320 × 100.

Empty Slot vs Live Sponsor Display
Upload a condensed full-page example image from Admin to show this placement in context.

Empty Slot vs Live Sponsor Display

How public banner cards behave
  • Empty slots can show a house promo card with pricing and an internal call to action
  • Once occupied, the live slot switches to advertiser content
  • Occupied slots stop acting like a ToFindAI sales flyer and click out to the advertiser instead

This keeps open inventory visible while making sure a paid sponsor’s banner is focused on their destination once the slot is live.

Available on: public banner surfaces across the site
