Banner adverts

Google Adwords
These are handled entirely by Google using their Adwords programme. You can use this to directly target RIBnet, or use keywords relevant to your business to show adverts in a variety of appropriate sites. More details here.

The "Buy and sell" forums
Using the RIBs for sale and Bits and pieces sections you can sell RIBs or other boating paraphernalia. This requires a minimum of a Silver RIBnet subscription, more details here.

Trade membership
If you use the forums to promote your business you should join as a trade member. This enables you to post messages in the "Buy and sell" forums plus the dedicated Trade announcements and special offers section. More details here.
