Versatiledogs.com is an advertiser sponsored website. Without sponsors, Versatiledogs.com could not remain free for kennel and puppy/stud dog/started dog listings, photo gallery postings, trainer advice, or forum usage. We need your continued support to maintain this website!
Advertising is an excellent way for businesses to sell their products, whether it be training supplies, outdoor products, an upcoming litter, or training services. Visitors who come to VersatileDogs are searching for dog related information making them highly targeted for dog related products. Our banner advertising program is inexpensive and allows products to be seen over and over again by the viewer.
We have a banner ad program:
Flat Fee Rotating Banner Advertising
In addition to our free litter listings, we also have three ad upgrade programs: (Special Summertime Rates)
Photo addition (Listing with photos)
Featured Placement Listing (Listing placed above free ads, no photos)

An impression is an advertisment's appearance on a web page. Because banners can lose their effectiveness over a period of time, clients can change the banner ad as often as necessary for as long as their banner campaign lasts.
Ad campaign reports are sent out at the beginning of every month. Reports include how many times the ad was shown and how many times it was clicked on.
NOTE: You must contact us BEFORE sending your ad (or paying in advance) so that we may approve it. We reserve the right to refuse any ad campaign, banner, or graphic we feel is not appropriate for this site.
Litter and Dog Ad Upgrades
Would you like to make your Free litter or stud dog listing stand out little more? A lot more? With enhanced and feature listings, it is now possible to get just that! It's cheap and easy.
Add Photos to your Ad - $3.99 flat fee per listing
Get noticed by placing a graphic ad, logo, or two (2) photos within your puppy/stud dog regular listing. Photos can be of the litter's dam and sire, the litter itself, you hunting with your dogs, or some other scene relevant to your ad. Photos will be reduced in size to a width of 200-300 pixels depending on the photo's orientation but you can send in any size. Photos are subject to approval and we won't post blurry photos or anything with inappropriate content.
Featured Placement Ad (Without Photos) - $9.99 flat fee per listing
Be seen first with the Featured Ad which places your listing at the top of the page in the "Featured Listings" section. This type of ad is in addition to your regular free listing and includes a framed mention in at the top of the page linked to a pop-up ad. NOTE: This ad does not include images, banners, or photos.
Or try both! (Featured Ad WITH PHOTOS) - $11.99 flat fee per listing
Include photos with your "Featured" placement. Your litter listing will be seen first and in color!
"Featured Listings with Photos" include one large photo OR two medium photos within your own custom made litter webpage. This litter webpage links directly off the top of the litter listings in a banner format using your images. To include more than 2 medium photos or 1 large photo in your ad, please request a quote.
Banner or button ad design
Don't have a banner or button ad? We can make one for you! Tell us what you want and we'll give you a quote. Most ad designs usually run about $15-$30 and includes animation! Email us.
Billing
A listing is defined as containing information on one litter, started dog, or stud/bitch at a time. This is so that the kennel/breeder who lists one litter/dog in the fall and one litter/dog in the spring is being fairly priced against the kennel/breeder who lists two litters/dogs at the same time.
We use Paypal Payment Services which accepts all major credit cards, electronic fund transfers and e-checks.
Before paying, please send your graphics or litter/stud listing to versatile @versatiledogs.com and indicate how and where you would like your ad shown. Once approved by Versatiledogs.com staff, your ad campaign will be set up and we will send you email when it is time to pay.
After paying, please email us to let us know the transaction was completed. Your paid placement will not begin until all of your upgrades have been completed. You will receive an email with confirmation of placement and the start and end date of the ad.
Because paid litter listings are a flat fee, refunds are not given unless the ad work is not performed or completed. Refunds are given for unused banner ad campaign impressions.
