<p>In order for your article to show on the home page of IdeaMarketers.com, you&#8217;ll have to place a bid for promotion. Our home page is sorted from highest to lowest bidder. A bid on an article, press release or book lasts for 7 days. For example, someone who bids $30 for an article&#8217;s promotion will come up higher than someone who pays $20 or $10</p>
<p>Assuming you have placed a bid and your article still isn&#8217;t showing, make sure you bid high enough to be on the home page. The left-hand column is what we call Group 1 and shows the top 60 bidders in the following categories put together: Business, Tech, Marketing, Finance, Travel/Tourism.</p>
<p>The middle column is what we call Group 2 and shows the top 60 bidders in the following categories put together: Education, Entertainment/News, Home/Family, Writing/Publishing, Life.</p>
<p>To see what current bids are going for, <a title="ideamarketers bidding system" href="http://www.ideamarketers.com/bids/process.cfm" target="_blank">click here</a>.</p>
<p>Assuming you&#8217;ve bid high enough, if your bid still isn&#8217;t showing, log into your account and go to Article/PR Admin on the menu and choose Update Home Page. To conserve resources, our home page is on a periodic update, but you can use this option to force it to refresh. After you do this, if you go to the home page, it should be there. If not, you might try pressing F5 on your keyboard to refresh your browser.</p>
