If you own or operate an IT certification related website, you're who we want to help advertise. We have a plethora of advertising possibilities that will help increase your traffic and bring you an increased return on your investement.
Our Audience: IT Professionals and Exam Candidates looking to earn their certifications, practice test providers that provide legitimate study materials, and certification vendors.
Professionals from every facet of the IT industry visit CertGuard on a daily basis to find legitimate study materials. We want them to find yours!
We allow for a few different types of advertising. Although this page primarily outlines Graphic Advertising, we also allow placement of text links in our Forums and elevated "VIP status" on our bootcamps, reviews and IT Jobs pages.
There are now three types of VIPs, Practice Test Provider VIPs, Classroom VIPs, AND IT Job VIPs. Becoming a VIP for either type is one of the quickest ways of reaching our readers. All VIPs are shown, in alphabetical order, at the top of each sub-page, depending on how your website is classified. If your website is classified as a "bootcamp" or classroom environment, it will become a VIP on the bootcamps page.
These, much like the graphical advertisements are based on the popularity of the page itself, so the rates will change. If you're going to become a VIP, do it now before the page gets even more popular.
The current rate for Practice Test Provider VIPs is $53.16 per quarter.
The current rate for Bootcamps VIPs is $8.22 per quarter.
The current rate for IT Job VIPs is $0.90 per quarter.
1 Quarter = 3 Months = 91 days
RATES CHANGE DAILY! Contact Us NOW if you want to get the lowest possible rates.
Advertising costs are based on the number of square pixels multiplied by the page views within the last 30 days (not counting today). All rates are for a single rotating ad placement.

For your benefit, CertGuard does not include hits incurred from our own IP Addresses or those of the search engines. The page views seen above have come from actual users. These rates are dynamic and will change daily. LOCK YOUR ADVERTISING RATE IN NOW!!!
EXAMPLE:
If you purchase advertising on Search.asp, today, for a 468 x 60 ad, then you will be locked in at $31.03 per quarter for the length of your contract.
If you chose to advertise on a page that gets fewer exposures per month, say braindumps.asp, that same sized ad will cost you $0.21 per quarter.
Prices shown above have been calculated for rotating advertisements. Since we're just starting our advertising scheme, all Ads will be displayed as static Ads until we receive more advertisements. Basically, what we're saying is "get in now, if you want more exposure (10:10) for the same price as a 1:10 rotating ad".
We have numerous predefined areas that we have setup to host your advertisements. Because we prefer to provide our visitors with pleasing experience when they come to CertGuard.com, we have opted to not place any ads on our Index Page, so our primary advertising space is within our forums.

To ensure technical simplicity, we prefer to host advertisement images on our own servers. We can, however, accomodate special circumstances. This may require additional lead time and may incur additional service fees.
All advertising contracts are quarterly. All reassessments are based on the month prior to the end of the current quarter.
