Neighborlogs features run deep. Community news providers get:

• An easy-to-use content editor and site manager
• Built-in geolocation and community features
• Forums, classifieds, aggregation tools
• A cutting-edge, small-to-medium business focused self-serve advertising service

And it's all free. To add a new opportunity to the Instivate family of services, this week we are rolling out InstiAds. The new self-serve ad service takes the Neighborlogs advertising system and makes it available on any community news and information Web site regardless of platform, codebase or service.

You can register for the InstiAds Beta here.

The new service lets anybody set their own prices and provide advertising services designed for local businesses. Here is a look at the self-serve wizard:

The service also includes easy to use Logo + Text layouts that allow businesses with limited budgets to create and update great looking display ads without a graphic designer.

If you are operating an existing local news and information site and want to give businesses in your community the opportunity to become part of your site in an easy-to-use, transparent and effective way, register for our beta today. We're just beginning the rollout so we'll add a small number of sites to begin. Feel free to holler if you just can't wait for your invite.
