Reach Chennai's verified business owners

The home page carries standard ad sizes — the same shapes the big Indian news sites sell — so a banner you already have for other sites usually fits as-is. Placements are booked by the month. Write to us for this month's availability and rates.

Creative guidelines

  • JPG, PNG or WebP. Keep files small so the page stays fast — under 1 MB for strips, 3 MB for boxes.
  • Video works in the billboard, rectangles and half page: MP4, 10–15 seconds, plays muted.
  • Every ad is labelled “Advertisement” and links to your CBC profile or your own site.
  • No misleading claims, no adult or betting content. We review every creative before it goes live.
