Advertising and link exchanges
Presentation
Big-Boards.com is the largest and most relevant directory related to online communities and more particularly message boards and forums. We receive over 7000 unique visitors daily, generating more than 30000 page views. Our traffic mostly consists in people looking for active message boards they could join to discuss a specific or more general topic, as well as forum administrators either interested in their statistics and board evolution (when they are listed) or interested in learning by example how to grow their online community, or finding out the appropriate software for their needs.
We are both interested in link exchanges and advertising on our pages. The most simple packages are described below, if none of them meets your needs please feel free to contact us for a custom quote.
Payment
We accept payments through PayPal, and only PayPal.
Terms
Advertisements are available as regular links (fully spiderable by search engines, no redirection script or javascripted links). Link exchanges will only be performed with sites providing the same condition. Noticeably, we do not exchange links if the linking page has a page rank of 3 or less or a gray bar. Links will be displayed on every page view. We reserve the rights to reject any potential advertiser or link exchange requester without reason. Full payment is needed before any campaign will be launched.

Link exchanges
We are interested in exchanging links with you if:
- Your site has good and unique content. We do not exchange links with template, turnkey or cookie cutter sites.
- Your site is related to the page you want to exchange links with. If your site deals with online communities / forums, most ad placements are available, if it is focussed on another topic, you may only exchange links with the pages associated with a related keyword. See the keywords section for more details.
If your site fits these requirements, please use the keywords form below if you want to exchange links for specific keyword-related pages, or use the contact form for any other placement, specifying your website URL, where you would like the link to your site to be on big-boards, and where the link to big-boards will be on your site.

Keywords campaigns
If your site is not directly related to big-boards, there are good chances that it is related to one or more keywords from our directory structure. Each listing in big-boards is associated with one or several keywords from our directory. It is possible for you to get a text ad on some or all the pages related to one or several given keywords (as long as they are related to your site's content. This is great for two reasons:
- Since this is targetted text ads advertising, the visitors to these pages are more likely to visit your site and be interested in its contents
- It is proven that search engines give more importance to a link to your site when it comes from a related page, which will be the case for all links generated by such a campaign.
The pricing for keyword campaigns depends on which, and how many pages are associated with this keyword on our site. The form below allows you to get a quote depending on the keywords you are interested in.
Notes:
- If you would rather have your link only shown in the directory or on specific board pages, please contact us for a custom quote.
- Boards keep being added to our directory on a daily basis and price is indexed on the number of pages on which your link will be displayed. By purchasing a link for several months, you save not only because of the discount we make for longer purchases, but also because the price is likely to increase.
