Ad Boxes
Ad boxes, appearing on the right-hand side of the search results pages, may be purchased for specific programs or for an entire institution. The pages on which an advertiser's Ad Box(es) appear is determined by the keywords assigned to the program for which the ad was purchased. Keywords are categorized by destination, language, and subject.
Specific Program Purchase:The specific program purchase includes one destination keyword, up to two language keywords, and unlimited subject keywords that are relevant to the program(s) for which an ad has been purchased.
Full Institution Purchase: The full institution purchase allows providers to receive one destination keyword, up to two language keywords, and unlimited subject keywords for all their programs for one price. This option is ideal for an advertiser that has numerous programs they would like to promote.

Logo Placement
With the Logo Placement option, providers can feature their logo next to their name in their free listing description and next to their name on the search results pages. One low price allows the logo to be placed in each of the provider's listings.

Picture Galleries
We are pleased to announce a new option that allows study abroad program providers to showcase their program(s) and visually express the main features of it: the free listing Picture Gallery. The Picture Gallery is a low cost option that allows providers to place three thumbnail images at the top of their free listing description. These thumbnails then link to a larger image in a new window.

Complete Programs Pages
A Complete Program Page contains a complete list of all your institution's programs. This page is then linked from every one of your listing description pages. The Complete Program Page is an excellent, low-cost option for large providers who want students to have easy access to all of their programs.
