Product Type Exclusivity
Build your own advertising monopoly.  Mobile Gadget News offers advertising clients the right to be exclusive in their product type.  As long as you maintain continuous ad placement you can maintain an exclusive arraignment where as only your company can advertise a specific product type.  If an advertiser is currently running a product in a non-exclusive manner and a second vendor initiates an exclusive agreement, the non exclusive vendor will not be able to extend their advertising at the end of their run or advertise on MPx200.org until their competitors exclusive agreement lapses.

*** Top spot by Seniority – The button adds on the site are sold on a first come first serve basis.  If an advertiser stops their campaign, the placement moves up so the second spot becomes the top and so on.  If the advertiser comes back after a period of no advertising, even if they were on the top spot when they left, they will assume the bottom spot.  This may also be a waiting list situation as these spots are limited.
