Featuring an Ad on the Alien Times Website
In addition to the regular "Google Ads" (see right), we put an ad from a local sponsor at the bottom of each of our pages. Ads show up in random order. See a list of our current sponsors.
Design and Translation
- Advertisers should submit ready-to-print ads that do not violate copyright in any way (including copyright related to both text and images)
- Advertisers who cannot provide a ready-to-print ad can choose to have one designed by the Alien Times volunteer staff for a fee of 3000 yen.
- Ads can be re-designed during a contract period for an additional fee (minimum 1500 yen).
- Ads can be written in English or Japanese, or both. Advertisers can ask an Alien Times volunteer staff member to translate an ad into English or Japanese. The fee for translation is the same as the monthly rate of the ad size, so translating a 3/4 page ad would cost 5,500 yen.
