How does it work?
Banner-Zone Exchange is where members allow advertising
banners to be displayed on their Web pages, while their
advertising banners will be displayed on other members Web
sites. For every banner shown on your site, you earn one
credit. For every credit you have, your banner will be shown
on the exchange. The programming part is simple, just add the
html code that will be supplied to you and simply cut and
paste that code into your Web page. Then other members of
Banner-Zone Exchange will be able to start showing their
banners on your site. We'll provide help and instructions if
you need it. You also need to upload your own advertising
banner into the system. Once you have uploaded your banner our
staff will approve it as quickly as possible. Once your banner
is approved it will then be displayed on other members Web
sites. This banner will help increase the potential of
generating many hits to your Web site. |

Why should I Join?
You should join so that you can
find customers and build your traffic through FREE advertising
on a variety of websites. Most other banner exchange programs
allow you to use one banner at a time. We know ads do better
if there is a variety, so we allow you multiple banners. When
your banner is about to be displayed, our program selects one
of your multiple banners at random to be displayed. There is
no need to download any special software. Our server handles
everything for you. Including real time stats. |
| |
|
What do I need to join?
You have to have a Web site that is up and running. Then you
need a 468x60 pixel GIF image (your advertising banner). Now
you are ready to join. If you don't have your banner image
ready you can still join and allow other banners to be
displayed on your site. |
| |
|
What is a banner?
A banner is a 468x60 pixel GIF image. For example see the one
at the top of this Web page. If you do not have a banner you
can create one using any type of graphical programs. You
should place your advertising message on your banner for
example "Click here to purchase my products", as well as
anything that would set your banner apart from the crowd.
Using animation or cool images along with other techniques
helps a lot. |
| |
|
What types of
banners are accepted?
All banners in the exchange are reviewed by our staff to
ensure that they are appropriate for general audiences. We do
not accept any advertisements for adult material. Banners and
Web sites must not contain nudity, partial nudity, violence,
vulgar language, or links to adult sites. Banners cannot imply
a link to an adult content site. We have strict company
policies on this issue and we deny or cancel member account if
we feel they have violated our acceptable use policy |
| |
|
What is a credit?
A credit is earned either by showing one banner on your site
or by purchasing credits from Banner-Zone Your credits
represents the number of times your banner will be displayed
on other members Web pages. 1 credit is worth 1 impression on
our banner exchange. |
| |
|
What is an impression?
Impression is equal to credit. Every time one of your banners
are displayed on our exchange, you have just generated an
impression. If you have 1000 credits, then that means that you
have at least 1000 impressions available for your banner. |
| |
|
What is a click-thru
reward?
Click-thru rewards are for members who have placed an HTML
code into their Web page. Each time the Banner-Zone banner is
clicked on, you generate a 2 credit reward in addition to the
1 credit you received for displaying a members banners on your
Web page. |
| |
|
Do I have
to place the banner at the top?
Banner placement on your Web site has a direct impact on the
amount of click-thru rewards and hits you can generate.
Banner-Zone requires that you place the banner code at the top
or close to it of your Web page. |
| |
|
What is CTR and CTP?
Click-Thru Ratio(CTR) and Click-thru Percent(CTP) are both
measures of how well your banner is performing on our
exchange. For example: Lets say your banner had 100
impressions (shown on other members pages) and had 5 click-thrus
(5 different people click on your banner and were pulled to
your Web page). Your CTR would be 20:1 or 100 impressions / 5
click-thrus. Your CPR would be 5% or 5 click-thrus / 100
impressions. They are actually the same measure, but one is a
ratio and the other is a percentage. Any banner with 1% CTP is
considered acceptable and should not be changed. Any banner
with 0.5% CTPs should probably be changed. |
| |
|
What is
HTML Code, and where do I get it?
The HTML code is a couple of lines of text that when you
insert it into your Web site runs when people are pulling up
your site. This little bit of programming code allows
Banner-Zone Banner Exchange the availability to display
banners on your site. You can generate this HTML code by
selecting "Get HTML Code" option from our control panel. |
| |
|
How
do I insert the HTML code into my Web page?
There are many different ways to insert HTML code into your
Web page, but the easiest would be to use a text editor and
then cut the code generated from our control panel and then
paste it back into your Web page. After that save and publish
your page and your all done. If you are using software to
generate your Web page you can also paste the code into the
page, however, you may need more help so please feel free to
email us with any questions you may have. E-mail

How
long does it take to set up a new banner?
Banner-Zone staff will have reviewed all new banner uploads
within a 24 hour time period. There may be some exceptions,
but our AUP policies controll part of this process and since
we adhere to strict rules we must ensure that the guidelines
are meet. This not only protects you but it also protects
Banner-Zone. |
| |
|
How do I submit
my banner to Banner-Zone?
If you are a member, you can add your banner through our
control panel. Banner-Zone does not upload your banner to our
server. You will provide the URL to your banner in our control
panel. This method allows you to have as many banners as you
desire. |
| |
|
Can I have more
then one banner under my account?
You can have as many banners as
you want. If you have more than one banner enabled our system
will distribute the impressions evenly around each banner. |
| |
|
I don't have a banner?

don't have a banner yet, you may use one of our banners below.

The Banner-Zoned HTML code isn't working. Am I doing something
wrong?
The
code works. The most frequent problem is that it gets
corrupted somewhere between Cut and Paste. Try grabbing the
code again. If you still can't get it to work, try viewing the
source code ("view" and then "source" in MS Internet Explorer)
of the web page our code is on. Compare it with what we gave
you. Some html editors and word processors like to
discombobulate certain symbols so try to always use a simple
editor like notepad when adding scripts to your web site.
This is what the HTML code
should look like.
