Hello,

As a small business owner (Silber Records), I appreciate the value of advertising & have done my best to make ad campaigns available that are fairly priced & offer some of the benefits of traditional advertising (like the permanent placements) but at the small prices that reflect the low overhead of doing a webzine rather than a printed zine.  Here at QRD we like to only charge what we see as completely reasonable rates for advertisement/sponsorship.  We only use JPGs & GIFs (animated GIFs are fine) using a method that doesn't allow flashblockers or adblockers to disable your content.  While plenty of places you give more money to than you could ever hope to recoup, with our low rates & permanent placement offers you can actually make back your investment & more.   We also now do more traditional month long ads if that is something you'd prefer. 

Over the 2011 QRD has averaged 6,000 visitors (not just hits!) on months without new content & 16,000 visitors on months with new issues.
