Targeted Market
The FinancialCertification Forum web site offers an exciting new advertising
opportunity to companies that want to reach financial professionals pursuing a variety of industry certifications.
Our site is new and in the early stages of attracting users strictly
interested in studying for and passing financial certification exams.
We’re moving to become the “central hub” for financial certification exam prep by providing two unique attractions:
1. Free Mock Exams With a Powerful Test Engine—Almost An Arcade!
- Candidates can test their readiness for exams by taking our online 1-hour Adaptive Exams that help them identify their weaknesses for further study and 3-hour Mock Exams that simulate the real thing.
- Since all exams are randomly generated from our large database of questions, returning visitors will never get the same exam twice. This ensures that many candidates will visit our web site daily to track their progress—allowing your ad the opportunity for repeat exposures.
- Vendors may provide us with a Mock Exam comprised of questions from their own exam prep product lines, which we will include in our online test engine. This option provides vendors a customized way to allow certification candidates to sample their products.
- Our Mock Exams currently cover vendor certification for CFA Level I and Level II, just to mention the growing number of Financial Mock Exams currently in development.
2. Mock Exam Scoring Contests With Daily, Weekly Or Monthly Prizes
- Based on Mock Exam test score contests, candidates can win FREE download versions of vendor-sponsored Practice Exams, eBooks, Study Guides, Notes, etc. These contests will draw candidates to our web site day after day, again giving your ad repeat exposure. Ask us how you can you advertise your products via promotional give-aways.

Affordable Ad Rates
Since we’re in the early stages of building our user base,
our advertising rates are the most affordable of any major Financial portal on the Internet.
We’re offering special rates to Charter Advertisers that will NOT be increased for 2.5 years--until
the end of year 2008. Now is the time to “get in on the ground floor” and lock in these economical
rates--even as our user base increases significantly over the next few years.
Compare our user statistics and ad rates with competing web sites and you will see for yourself that their costs are 2 to 4 times greater than ours to reach comparable numbers of financial certification candidates.
