General Questions:
- Are odd shaped banner advertisements permitted?
Yes. As long as your banner advertisement falls within the 200 x 200 dimension or 200 x 400 dimension, your banner advertisement is acceptable.
- How many impressions per day can you deliver?
The amount of banner impressions available per day varies greatly on the number of active spots in the system. Reasonably, you should expect at least 10,000 UNIQUE impressions
daily.
- Can I send traffic to URLs with popups / exit consoles / etc?
No. Any banner advertisements sent to URLs with popups / exist consoles / auto installers / fake codecs / etc. will be frozen and removed from the system immediately.
- What does views / clicks / CTR mean?
Views are the number of 30 day unique impressions served. Clicks are the number of clickthroughs to your website. CTR is the clickthrough ratio (IE: 1000 views producing 10 clicks
is a CTR of 1.0%).

You can not change URLs. You can only submit new URLs.
- How do I change banner advertisements?
You can change banner advertisements by uploading a new banner and assigning it impressions from an existing banner. To do this you must first upload a new banner following

Once at the 'Buy Spots' page you should see a list of your URLs. Click 'Stats' beside the URL with the banner that you wish to assign traffic from. In the popup window,
click 'Reverse' under the banner that you wish to stop traffic to. Once the order has been reversed you can now repeat the 'buy banner impressions' steps to assign your
