Because The Butterfly WebSite is a free resource, we rely on sponsorships to fund the development of this website. We are able to provide our sponsors with qualified leads through our sponsorship program from people who are here because they have a nature-related interest.

Sponsor Table
All sponsors are listed by category in our Sponsor Table which appears on the homepage of our website, in addition to our Sponsors page, linked in our left menu. The order of ads appearing in a category is determined via a randomizing function. Visitors also have the option of ordering the list by State and Country.

Sponsor Banners
Sponsors will have a banner no larger than 468x75 pixels appear at the top of 59 of our busiest pages. Several banners will also appear at the bottom of our home page. Each time the page is loaded, a new ad appears, chosen sequentially from our sponsor database. The prime position of the top of the page gets instant attention from visitors. If you cannot supply a banner, we can create one for you for a fee of $25.00.

You will have access to a web page where you can see how many visitors have clicked on your ad and gone from our website to yours. Click HERE and type in the password "example" to see how this works. You will of course receive your own password.

The cost for sponsorship is $350.00/year.

For butterfly breeders, sponsorship includes commission-free access to our database of people seeking live butterflies.

This invitation is extended to product suppliers, retail outlets, associations, and others involved in butterfly- or nature-related products. We reserve the right to review all potential sponsors for suitability for inclusion in these family-oriented websites. We also reserve the right to change sponsorship rates at any time.
