MSSQLTips.com is a daily newsletter that goes out to over 50,000 people Monday thru Friday.  The focus is SQL Server and the format is simple, one tip and one sponsor.

There are a lot of other SQL Server related websites out there, but we take a different approach.  Instead of waiting for people to come to our website to search for content, we send out one email each day with one SQL Server tip that we feel our subscribers can use immediately.

Although we email a tip each day, tips are archived and are available to our subscribers or potential subscribers all of the time.

Exclusive newsletter tip sponsorship

Each tip that is sent in the newsletter has one primary sponsor.

The primary sponsor has two ad placements

• The header ad is a standard banner ad that is either hosted on our website or your website (see guidelines below). 
• The footer ad is a large ad about your product and/or service.  This includes both text and images. (see guidelines below)
• In addition to the sponsorship in the newsletter the sponsor also has the option to be the exclusive website sponsor for that tip on our website.  That means whenever the tip is shown your ads are also shown and are the only ads shown for this tip.

Exclusive website tip sponsorship

The exclusive website sponsorship ties your ad to a particular tip  This means whenever the tip is shown on our website your ads are shown for as long as you are the exclusive sponsor. 

Non exclusive website banner ad

A non exclusive banner ad will be shown on all pages that do not have an exclusive banner sponsor.  These banner ads are randomly displayed on all tip pages on the website.

Non exclusive website text ad

A non exclusive text ad is a text spot displayed at the bottom of each page or right side of page.  Each ad can be up to 100 characters.
