From 2006 onwards, in order to increase its funding, to distribute interesting information to its users and to support its partners' projects, lernu! has displayed advertisements from Google AdSense and from Esperanto organizations, websites, and projects. You, too, are welcome to advertise on our site regarding your Esperanto organization, local club, event, project, product or service (such as a magazine, book services, a new Esperanto CD or a film). We have more than 100,000 visitors every month; this is the size of the potential audience for your advertisement(s).

Format and function

Each advertisement must be a single-frame (non-animated) graphic file in JPG, PNG or GIF format, sized at 468x60 pixels. The advertisement will appear at the top of the page, between the lernu! logo on the left, and the language menu and search box on the right. Clicks on the advertisement will open the webpage of your choice in a seperate window. The picture and text in your advertisement should relate directly to the contents of the target page (a description of your organization, project, product, or service). The lernu! team reserves the right to refuse your advertisement or recommend changes the team finds necessary.

Your advertisement will be shown alternately (with equal frequency) with other advertisements ordered for the language in question or for the whole website. The rate will not change depending on the number of advertisements already on display. Only one advertisement graphic is valid for each order. Each additional version of your advertisement will cost 50% of the base rate.

There are special discounts available for partner organizations (who support or actively promote lernu!) and for organizations whose members actively work with lernu!

This functionality will be introduced if the service proves to be popular with our users and partners, and if we are able to dedicate more resources to its development.
