About is a company that runs 700+ topic specific sites. About Guides are passionate about their topics which makes an About GuideSite, like Databases, the perfect place for advertising your product and/or service. About is consistently listed as one of the most visited sites on the Web. If you haven't had the opportunity to browse About's Home Page or read some of About's Press Releases, you should take a look. There is an appropriate GuideSite for virtually any topic in which one might like to advertise.

About is responsible for all the technical and business aspects of a Guide's site. Guides are responsible for content: feature articles, subject page links, forums, newsletters, chats, etc. Guides are compensated based on a proportionate share of revenue generated by their sites, but About handles the needs of advertisers.

About has a special section dedicated to Advertising. You can stop there for a complete description of the various marketing campaigns and details available to advertisers. No advertiser is too big or too small -- About has opportunities for every size of business.

Advertising Options

There is no cost associated with being listed on the Databases Subject Pages, assuming your site is appropriate and meets our standards. However, considering the amount of links submitted to this site and the fact that your Databases Guide must personally visit and evaluate each site and/or product before deciding to list or not list the link, getting a link on one of the subject pages may take up to two months. If you'd like to be considered for these pages, please send me an e-mail with your site's URL, title, a short description and the name of the subject page you feel is most appropriate for your site. If you'd like to advertise on the About Network, About's expert sales team can create a custom advertising program that will group the right GuideSites and Channels together for your product or service. This will ensure that your message is exposed according to your advertising needs.
