🠈 About Vernal Color 🠊
Vernal Color is a member of the Community Color project. The goal of this project is to promote local web development and community awareness with directories and calendars for select towns in the Mountain West.
I began the project by buying domains for interesting communities. In the current rebuild of the project, I decided to change the focus from towns to counties. I created one subdirectory of the master site UtahColor.com for each county, including Daggett County which split from Uintah County with the construction of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
Vernal is the county seat of Uintah County in the Northeast portion of the state. As the domain VernalUtah.US is such a premium name, I decided to keep it as the primary site for Uintah County.
Advertising
I funded the first build of this site with affiliate ads. Affiliate merchants are online sites that pay a commission on sales. Affiliate ads work at cross purposes with a site; So, the current build of the site gives local advertisers a chance to displace the affiliate ads.
My ad revenue for affiliate ads has fallen to 30¢ CPM (cost per thousand); So, I decided to offer local direct ads for the price of $25 for 100,000 page views.
The ad is a 728x90 placement in the upper fold of the page. It can either be two lines of text or a 728x90 image (see ad above for a sample). I am only interested in ads for web sites from Utah and Colorado. Place the ad, if I accept it, I will bill $25.
