(A:) FFA stands for FREE - for - ALL, meaning its free to post
your site details to the system, and a WEBRING is an old type of
service for web site owners to PLACE a special rotation code
at the bottom of their page which can produce some extra visitors!
We have both an FFA and a WebRing available for you. Check the side
MENU for the LINKs to these services.
(Q:) How can I get listed in the MALL program?
(A:) All you need to do is purchase any Paid Banner AD from $9.99
and you will get a FREE listing in the MALL which is promoted
separately from your graphic banner promotion and will attract
more visitors to your site! "WOW" all this for $9.99!
{ Banner ADs get shown on HOME page and SUB pages and LINK Click
popups from our site. They also get shown in the BONUS system of
MEGALINKS, so members ADs get maximum exposures and visitors !!}
A Quick NOTE.
Also it may take 1 to 5 Months (depending) to get those 200 real
visitors to your site. We do Recommend you buy $20 to $40 Banner
orders (500+ AD UNITS) to stay listed in the MALL longer or years!
AS once the hits are reached, the MALL listing is deactivated until
you top it back up wth more AD UNITS and re-activated. Keep your own
eye on the progress via the stats LOGON, but we will warn you when they
are due to be refreshed. Why, we need a good email address to contact you!

(Q:) What is meant by HITS?
(A:) Your banner rotates and stays active on our site until
visitors to our site have clicked on your banner. The IP
addresses are logged and you can check on the progress and validation of each visitor as needed.
If you buy 100 units you will get 100 unique visitors(unique IP)
if any AD looks unfair we will correct and give additional UNITS
Staff will check the logs at the end of a AD campaign.
{ Unfortunately, Now IP logs for members get RESET to the last 10ty visitors due
to the cost of SQL database space. So check the logs more frequently as needed.}
1) Note! With exception, Permanent TEXT ADs dont have separate stats tracking
as its treated as a FREE posting which doesnt expire. Although
more code will be written in future to allow this for our members.
2) Note! Campaign ADs offering unique visitors/Hits on our system,
may take many months or years to complete your purchased units,
which is UNLIKE OTHER IMPRESSION BASED AD SYSTEMS ELSE WHERE.
(Q:) Clickbank doesnt like my VISA/Credit CARD, can I purchase UNITS by Check/Cheque?
(A:) Sorry No, But you can try using E-Gold or paypal. See the
alternative payment section at end of the purchase advertising page.
We do however prefer the use of clickbank for several reasons!

if you do!, please email their support and INFORM them.

(Q:) Why should I use you when other sites offer huge impressions
for slightly more money?
(A:) Well firstly, you can never have enough exposures and we are
very fair and almost too cheap. We are here to assist you in your
small business by drawing in QUALITY traffic to this site.
Many sites offer traffic but are they worth the money. Are you flogging the AD to
the wrong types in the exchange systems, FFAs. Its a hard question indeed?
Everyone are head hunting the same people,and can give poor results.
However, we do use other FFAs, banner systems and exchange systems
where its shown to be useful for members using our system. This
saves you buying ads on other AD systems and by using 'us' to pool the
funds and do the HARD work for EVERYONE using our AD system(s).

(A:) No problem , once you have ordered once, just place new order(s)
and then email support staff stating how many extra orders you have placed
and your login ID you were given by support staff previously.

also the FREE link posting attracts constant visitors and regular submitters!
