Sophisticated Search Marketing to the IT Buyer

Now you can direct your keyword marketing programs to the IT-focused audience of the IDG Enterprise Network. TechWords is the only keyword-targeted, auction-based, pay-per-click advertising marketplace dedicated to connecting technology advertisers with a core audience of enterprise technology buyers and influencers. This highly contextual network places your ads next to the most relevant content across the IDG enterprise sites, giving you targeted clicks without the waste that can come from broad keyword marketing programs.

TechWords is powered by Quigo's AdSonar advertising platform. AdSonar is a leading network of premium-branded websites offering auction-based, pay-per-click advertising.
