With nearly half a million visitors a day, your business can not afford to not be added to the growing list of advertisers who will be displayed on the new Spymac.com.
Interested? E-mail our advertising experts to develop an affordable plan that suites your needs, or simply put "rates" as the subject in your e-mail for an automatic listing of our low rates.

So, it was't a publicity stunt to attract eyeballs, after all.....

What we can offer is:
- Flexible banner sizes
- Several different pricing-categories

Supposing that anyone is foolish enough to send these guys money, I say we embark on a boycott spymac campaign.
