What is a business marquee?

A business marquee is an online advertisement located on the homepage of The Daily Star and Cooperstown Crier websites.

The business marquee is basically a one line classified ad advertising anything you wish for only $10 a day.  Your business marquee ad can link to your website too.

If you choose to advertise for longer, we have special discounted rates as well.

There are offensive Google text ads on your site

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Although we like to believe that we maintain a certain level of control over our websites, we do however, have advertising not controlled by us on our websites.

If you see ads that you feel shouldn’t be on our websites because of inappropriate content or for some other reason, please email our webmaster with a brief description of the text within the ad and the URL mentioned inside it as well.  We will be more than happy to consider filtering the ad out.

What happened to heartlandjobsearch.com?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

During the transition to our new website during the fall of 2007, we replaced our heartlandjobsearch.com website with Monster located on The Daily Star’s main website.

Monster in partnership with CNHI gives our readers better opportunities to find jobs both locally and nationally, with access to Monsters main database.

Monster also makes it easier to find the jobs you want by weeding through jobs that you aren’t interested in.  Monster lets you search through thousands of jobs by keyword or by category.

Visit our Monster Jobs website at www.thedailystar.com/monster.

Do you design websites?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

In the past we have designed websites for individuals and small businesses.  Due to time constraints and limited staffing, we are unable to take on any web design or development projects.  We hope to start designing websites again in the future.
