When creating listings, follow the guidelines.
Ask Sponsored Listings does provide and enforce editorial guidelines to help you create professional listings and to ensure quality results for users. We recommend you review the editorial guidelines before submitting your listing.

Your listings appear in sites across our network.
The listings in your campaigns appear in sponsored search results and other relevant ad placements across our extensive network of partner sites, giving you access to millions of Internet users. Note: The ASL network includes sites targeted to US and/or Canadian audiences only.

Our pricing scheme is very straightforward.
You'll be charged on a cost-per-click (CPC) basis. This means you will only be charged after a prospective customer clicks on your listing and visits your web site. CPCs vary based on the targeting options you choose for your listings, your Max CPC and market factors. See pricing for more information.
