Here is a three-minute video-tour [1] that gives an overview of advertising on Iranian.com. It defines premium ads and regular "box" ads and gives an overview. The second video [2] tells and shows you more about premium ads, and the third video [3] does the same for regular box ads.

Advertising On Iranian.com is as simple as 1, 2, 3.    

1.  Choose the "ZONE [4]" your ad will run in.  

2.  Chose the REGIONs [5]  you want to cover -- 

  • Eastern North America (about 35% of our traffic), 
  • Western North America, (about 35% of traffic) or 
  • Europe / Rest of World (30% of traffic, mostly in Europe)

The dividing line in North America (US and Canada) is the Mississippi River.

3.  Fill Out the Order Form (in .xls [6] or .pdf [7] formats).

  • Name, contact information
  • Start and Stop dates for campaign
  • Payment details
  • Submitting the artwork for the ad itself 
  • The "destination" web page when people click on the ad 

We need 24 hours notice and prepayment to run ads.
