Which one would be right?

Check out for offers online. OR... Check out online for offers.

    The placement of online is equally correct, but the placement of out is equally incorrect, so I really struggle to say if I should answer "both" or "neither".

Like RegDwight's comment, I'd say that you can't simply extend "check out" and have the sentence work. You check something out. You could say

"Check out this website for offers!"

or

"Check this website out."

Those are correct, but they're not as concise as

"Check online for offers!"

Even better, you want to say

"Check our website for offers!"

because it draws their attention to you in a more personal way, which is the point of advertising.

  • Full sentese would sound like this: Check out for more offers online! Would it be ok to say like that?

  • No. You have to check something out. You could say "Check the website out" or "Check out the website", but "online" isn't specific enough a place to use as an object here. I've edited my answer to reflect that.
