Sponsored Text Adverts

Maltalinks Sponsored Text Adverts are an effective and simple way of purchasing targeted advertising without breaking your budget. Maltalinks positions your advert according to the number of users that click on it over time. Sponsored Text Adverts are bought in batches of one thousand ad impressions and no minimum deposit is required.

Current rates are Lm 7, Lm 6, Lm 5 for positions 1, 2, and 3 respectively per thousand ads shown. For more details check out our Sponsored Text Adverts programme.

Image Adverts

Image adverts are a powerful way of getting your message or brand image through. Maltalinks limits the maximum  number of image adverts displayed on any page to just five. This maximum limit ensures that every image ad gets its fair share of attention from users viewing the ad and makes Maltalinks results load fast. There are three different configurations that will be used to display Image Adverts:

225x60 by 3, or 468x60 and 234x60, or single 702x60

Maltalinks will automatically select an appropriate configuration for your advert display depending upon the advert size. Advertising rates are explained in the following tables:
