Unique Visitor Paid to
Click: Member may click to visit the site and
obtain credit ONCE ONLY. This type of ad is
suitable for sites which require a one-time
sign-up for services, etc., and will attract new
clickers as new members join the site. The lockout
is achieved by simply setting the repeat click
time period to "0" in the Ad Manager.
Daily Visit Paid to
Click: These are the same as normal Paid to
Click ads, but members may click once every 24
hours to receive credit. Ideal for promoting
search ad sites, shopping portals, quiz sites,
etc. If members click on the link before the
24 hour time period has elapsed, they will see a
message to the effect that they have already
visited the site, and that they should try again
later.
The set-up procedure for
Paid to Click ads is similar to that for Paid
E-mails. Note that it is not possible to target
this type of advertising by country or subject.
Pricing
Paid to Click Ads
You
should adopt the same pricing policy used for
pricing paid e-mails, as the mathematics are
exactly the same for determining ad costs. Don't
forget to keep an eye on your competitors' prices,
and match them if you can.
Copying
and Pasting the Ad Code
When uploading ads from
paying advertisers, be sure that the http://
portion of the site address is included, otherwise
clicking on the ad will bring up a "Page Not
Found" error.
Sometimes, you may need to
separate the site address from the banner address
for the code to work with Cash Crusader, as the
software only accepts separate site and banner
addresses for Paid to Click ads.
For example, say a
customer requires the following (fictitious) affiliate code to
be uploaded as a banner ad:
This is your banner
address, which can now be entered into the Banner
URL field of the ad form.
That's it - you're done! It seems complicated at
first, but once you have done this a couple of
times, and you learn to recognize the required
snippets of code, it will become second nature.
When copying the
code from affiliate networks, make sure that you do not copy any of the quotation marks
accidentally, because this will invalidate the
affiliate code, and your sales/clicks/leads
will not be tracked. If this happens, the
affiliate network will not pay you, so get it
right first time to save embarrassment!
