How to advertise on MotorsportAds.co.uk

The perfect way to reach people involved in motorsport

We offer both classified ads and display ads on MotorsportAds.co.uk:

Classified Ads are used for advertising specific items or services for sale or wanted.

Display or Banner Ads are used to promote businesses which sell into the motorsport marketplace, or if you want to achieve an exceptionally high profile for an item or service you have for sale.

Classified Ads

Over £4,000,000 of motorsport items were sold via MotorsportAds.co.uk in 2007.

To place a classified ad, you need to register (select ‘Register’ from the top menu), then select ‘Place Ad’. Select the category in which your ad is to appear, choose the ad style, fill in the ad details, select the photos you’d like to appear with your ad, save your ad, and make your payment (unless your ad is a Free Ad).

Lots of ads to place?  Speak to us about volume payment terms.

(All payments made online via MotorsportAds.co.uk are processed by a company called Protx who are the preferred choice for many banks including HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Barclays and Nat West.  We don’t process any credit card information directly on our website.  Protx has achieved the highest level of compliance under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI). They adhere to the most stringent levels of fraud screening, ensuring that your details remain secure throughout the transaction process.)

Normally your ad will appear immediately within your chosen category. In certain circumstances the ad is referred to us before it goes live, but you will be notified if this is the case.

You may modify or upgrade your ad at any time by selecting the ‘My Account’ option and clicking on the ad title.

Ad Styles

There is a choice of three different classified ad styles:

		£48 for up to six months (top prominence)
		£20 for up to six months (items over £2,000)
		£ 0 (solely for items under £2,000)

Feature & Standard Ads

Feature & Standard Ads are strong prominent adverts and offer the best prospects for selling items. They appear at the top of ad listings (Feature Ads first, then Standard Ads), and stand out with a 180 character ad summary and by use of your own choice of colour.

Feature Ads are also displayed on the Home Page, in rotation, in order to maximise their exposure and attract around 3-5 times the number of viewings.

Both Feature Ads and Standard Ads allow you to provide the following information:

Your contact details (which are taken automatically from your registration details)

Free Ads

These are only for items under £2,000. Free Ads appear below Standard Ads in ad listings and search results. They are less prominent in the main listings than Standard & Feature Ads and are listed without an Ad Summary. However once the ad page is opened it will display the same information as a Standard Ad except for a web link.

Please note:

• Ads expire at the end of six months. You will be sent email reminders towards the end of this period. Ads may be de-activated by you at any time.
• Only one Free Ad may be placed per item or service for sale or wanted
• There is a maximum of 10 Free Ads per person or organisation
• References to web addresses, disguised or otherwise, are not permitted in Free Ads (with the exception of the Championship category) and will be removed
• References to ebay listings or stores, disguised or otherwise, are not permitted in Free Ads and will be removed 
• When placing your ad, you will be asked whether you wish to pledge a donation to one of the UK motorsport registered charities. There is no obligation and ads will be carried whether or not a charity donation is or has been made.

A display ad is a graphical advertisement that provides links to any web page (URL) of your choice. We also offer the option to place a display ad that opens a browser window showing all your classified ads within MotorsportAds.co.uk. Display ad formats may be .jpg or .gif, and alt text (the text that appears when the mouse is hovered over your graphic) is of your own choice.

Display ads build and enhance brand/product awareness (measured by nos of impressions - no of times the ad is displayed), and generate traffic to your website i.e. prospects (measured by nos of clicks - no of times your ad is clicked)
