Premium Sponsorship
A premium sponsorship is the best branding real estate you can move into on Elite Trader. Your ads will be shown strictly on the pages that generate the highest number of unique visitors, which are the homepage, forum index page, and the pages which contain broker and software ratings. Your message is strategically surrounded by our content links, giving it as much visibility as possible. This spot is not exclusive but we do guarantee a minimum exposure level of 100,000 impressions per month.

Forum Sponsorship

Aside from the home page, Elite Trader's most active area is the forums portion of the site. This is where traders can ask questions or comment on various subjects related to trading. We actively monitor the message board and remove any posts which are off-topic to maintain the overall discussion quality. Since the discussion area requires visitor interaction, it creates a true sense of community and prompts visitors to return daily for continued discussion. Our message board is comprised of many different forums, which are areas of discussion that are focused on a common theme. Each forum can be sponsored, which means that your ads appear exclusively within every page of your forum. On the forum front page, the forum you sponsor would be clearly designated as being sponsored by your firm.

Below you'll find a sample of how your ad will appear on a page and a listing of our forums and sponsorhip rates:

 

Occasionally we have firms that would like to sponsor a forum but they don't see one that suits their business or targets the right audience. If that describes you, we can create a totally new forum that you can sponsor exclusively. We recently did this for TradeStation Securities ( Strategy Trading ) and TradeMaven (Market Profile).

We can also create a dedicated forum specifically for the discussion of your own products and services. This is a great solution for software providers who want a dedicated forum for answering questions about their products from prospective customers or for providing technical support to existing users. We provide the software, hardware, moderators, and management services so you can focus on the what's important - your customers.

The minimum commitment for a custom forum sponsorship is one year, and the cost is $1,500 per month.

Featured Listings
If you represent a direct-access broker or software provider, one of the best ways to get in front of your exact target audience is to be listed as a "Featured Firm" in the Brokers section of our site, or as "Featured Software" in the newly added Software section. These sections allow users to rate their current brokers and software providers, or users can simply view the ratings posted by other members. Since many traders are dissatisfied with the their broker/software they are currently using, there is no better time to hook them with your targeted message.

A featured listing allows you to display your company logo (linked to your web site), and a description of your firm's products and services (125 words or less). We recommend that your description focus on the aspects of your firm that are unique from the others available. You may also wish to offer a free trial or special promotion in this area, which will increase the chance that a user will click on your logo to learn more about what you have to offer.
