It is unlikely. In fact, it is more likely that you will save quite a bit by designing and ordering your own advertisements. No payments to agencies, no more wasted time on hold or trying to explain what you want to customer service rep, no more need to redesign for each media outlet, no more advertising dollars squandered on media not relevant to your needs. The advertising rates listed by AdDogs come from the media directly and, in some cases, the media have quoted lower rates than you would receive by calling them directly. Remember, the cost of ad placement begins with the cost of the actual ad but should include the cost of design and placement. It ends with the effectiveness of the the advertising in reaching your target audience.Are the rates quoted for national advertisers?
The print industry has many ways to define "national advertising". In all cases the AdDogs quoted rates are for local advertising.

AdDogs will allow you to take advantage of that rate in the media insertion process.How do I pay?

Sadly, browser support is an area fraught with potholes. You can use any browser you like on our site, but we're focused (as of the date of writing this addendum, July 2009) on support for Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, and Google Chrome. Other browsers may work, but:- Internet Explorer 6 has well-known and serious weaknesses that we've chosen not to waste time programming around.
- Internet Explorer 8, while an interesting effort, has enough operational bugs (not security - rendering and stability problems) that the author of this entry has removed it from his machine within the past 30 minutes of this writing, reverting back to version 7.
- Opera is marginally supported, but it, too, has operational issues, and the maintainers of that product have headed in a direction that indicates they're not serious about gaining wider use of the product, so we've removed it from the list of browsers we program to support.
- Safari should work, insofar as it is able to display any site with a hint of stability - it's based on the same code as the Google Chrome browser.
