The system then delivers a random rotation throughout only the group of pages selected within both papers’ online products.

Run-of-Site (ROS) – Refers to a rotation of your ad throughout the online editions of The Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret Morning News. Advertisers select the number of total monthly impressions to be delivered. The system then delivers a random rotation throughout all advertising areas of both papers’ online products.

Targeted by Keyword – This targeting method allows advertiser the ability to deliver a message only when a keyword is present in the stories on the page. Advertiser select the keywords (maximum of three). The system then searches for those keywords and delivers the advertising banner or button to the specific page. This is the ultimate in targeting, and a powerful tool in directing your message to your profiled audience. This is currently available only on the Deseret Morning News online site.

 

Targeted by Section – Advertisers select the section (i.e. Sports, Classified Automotive, Businessetc) that meets the desired audience profile.
