Buy Banner or Text Ads
Show your support for DiveBuddy.com and promote your scuba business by purchasing banner or text ads. Banner ads can be displayed on a CPM basis (cost per 1000 impressions), which means your ad is displayed 1000's of times for a very low cost. Text ads can be displayed on a pay-per-click basis, which means you only pay when a unique user clicks on your ad to visit your website.
View Media Kit & Ad Rates
"GeoTargeting" is also available and very popular if you own a local business such as a dive shop. Specify the states, cities or zip codes that you want your ad displayed in. Our ad manager checks the location of each visitor and only shows ads for that area. Banner ads are displayed 10 times per visitor per day, which increases the ads longevity and number of total unique viewers. At your request, additional display restrictions can be applied, such as overall total impressions per user or a day and time schedule to follow. (For example: BannerABC will be shown a total of 100 times (no more than 10 per day) to each visitor from Houston, TX between the hours of 8am and 5pm on Thursday's and Friday's only. Now that's a targeted ad!)

Contribute Content
Every time you write a blog, respond to a forum topic or upload a great scuba photo, your member profile is promoted. By contributing quality content to DiveBuddy.com, you increase awareness of your product or service. Plus, all DiveBuddy content ends up on search engines like Google and Yahoo so your reach isn't limited to only the visitors of our site.
Promote Your Events
Another great way to promote your business is to add your upcoming events, training classes or dive trips to our Calendar. All events posted to the Calendar are viewable and searchable by all visitors to DiveBuddy.com. Plus, you can add a
free calendar application to your own website that displays only your events to your website visitors.
Free Banner Ad Exchange
Companies that provide a product or service to scuba divers may take part in a free scuba banner ad exchange hosted by
UnderwaterAds.org. Your banner ads can be displayed for free in exchange for showing other scuba companies ads on your website. Exclusions can be added to avoid showing banner ads for your competition. Multiple banner ad sizes are supported.
