Why advertise on Racer X Online?
Racer X Online is the sport’s top source for industry news and original content. We've designed the site with advertisers, as well as readers, in mind. Ad placement has been carefully designed to increase click-through rates and time on page.
Our IAB-compliant 300 x 600 half-page banner unit gives you the room to get creative—and to get noticed. But here’s the real kicker: On all of our sub-pages, the 300 x 600 smoothly slides down the page as the user scrolls, staying on the screen the entire time. The result is a drastically lengthened impression (sometimes surpassing 30 minutes), which means remarkably effective branding and click-through rates that are through the roof. Our above-the-fold 728 x 90 leaderboard banner, which runs throughout the site, provides advertisers with prime real estate on all moto content.

Looping and Animation
Banner ads on Racer X Online are programmed and placed to be seen, so it’s not necessary to get overly flashy with your banner ads, particularly on half page units. If you do use video or a lot of movement, we highly suggest limiting it to one or two loops max, then stopping on a static call-to-action. Keep in mind that our half page units sometimes stay on a user’s screen for up to 15 minutes.
