What is a Newspaper Network?

A newspaper network is group of several newspapers (a network) that each offer space in their individual newspapers for one group price. Each individual newspaper has the right to reject an ad based on their specific requirements, which does not necessarily reflect the view of the entire network. Simply, it allows the advertisers to "bulk" buy advertising space to reach more readers for less money than single placement advertisement.

How does the newspaper circulation or distribution affect my ad exposure

Circulation is the number of "hard copies" a newspaper prints. "Distribution" is usually the number of readers the publisher assumes reads each newspaper. Generally publishers will quote their readership as 2 ½ times the amount of actual hard copies of the newspapers (assuming more than 2 people are going to read each newspaper). All the circulations MyClassifiedads.net quotes are based on circulation and readership. Obviously, the more circulation the better for advertisement exposure. Also, the advertisement being presented to the correct audience is just as important.
