Side Notes
The “Ad Level” number indicates the level of priority given to each Chapter Ad. For example, Level 1 Ads will be placed before Level 2 Ads, Level 2 Ads will be placed before Level 3 Ads, and so on.
Level 1 Chapter Ads will receive priority placement according to the amount a Retailer/Brand bids. In other words, the Ad with the highest bid will be placed at the beginning of the next KleverBook selected for download.
Level 1 Chapter Ads of the same Level Value** (or bid amount) will be placed in the order received, according to time and date.
Ad payments are automatically charged once a reader downloads the KleverBook (which is when the Ads are inserted). Free Chapter Ads will be placed when and where space is available and in the order they are logged into our system.
Chapter Ads will not be placed if books are not downloaded. In other words, there is no guarantee of Ad placement.
Prices are for one-week placements; i.e., Ads expire one week from when they were placed.
* The Retail Value means the average retail price the book sells for.
** Level Value defined: eksplode!’s Ad Pricing Schedule allows Retailers and Brands to select the amount they are willing to spend per Ad, according to the Level chosen (or bid amount), which correspondingly determines Ad placement in each KleverBook downloaded.
