Talking Futures

MarketForum's 2008 Advertising Program

MarketForum, the most popular futures & options message board on the Internet, is an ideal platform for Internet advertising campaigns directed at the individual trader or speculator.

Increasing Traffic
Traffic has been increasing impressively every year since the site was founded in 1999. Daily visits total 1,750, or nearly 55,000 on a monthly basis and these traders average seven pages per visit, generating close to 400,000 pageviews per month.

With numbers like this, MarketForum is an active community and tailor-made for commodity brokerage firms, futures & options exchanges, professional advisors, and trading technology vendors targeting new customers.

Advertising Packages
Along with our basic advertising formats, we offer three different special advertising packages that include "run of the site" exposure, and excellent opportunities to make a strong impact with our dynamic community of traders.

These opportunities include hosting Q&A sessions, posting your firm's market commentaries -- and having a Front Page link on MarketForum to your own Website!

Not least, we make it very easy to pay for MarketForum advertising, by charging a fixed fee and providing arrangements for payment by PayPal, or if desired, by check.

Request Our Media Kit
If these advertising choices sound good, we invite you to consider connecting your firm with MarketForum's high-energy, well-educated and profit-motivated group of traders at a very reasonable cost. Our 2008 Media Kit is available on request, and you should feel free to contact us at any time if you have questions and suggestions. Thank you.
