| A Banner Exchange is a great way to get traffic to your site. In return for showing other banners on your site, you earn the right to show your banner on another site in the exchange. Each time you show another banner on your site, your banner will be shown on another site.

| When you show other sites banners on your site, you earn credits. Credits are automatically redeemed for exposures on another site in the exchange.

| NOTHING! The NeverEnding Halloween Banner Exchange is absolutely free. You may, however, buy additional exposures of your banner to gain more publicity for your website.
[Top] |
| Credits are earned by showing other banners on your site! Once you have created an account and logged in to your Control Panel, you will have an option to Get HTML. Use this option to get the HTML code you need to put in your web page to start earning credits!

| An exchange ratio describes how many exposures of other banners on your site to earn a number of exposures on another site.
A 1:1 ratio means for every banner you show on your site, you get an exposure elsewhere.
[Top] |
| Accounts can be set up in seconds! Click the Sign Up link to the left and sign up for an account. Once you are signed up, you can begin earning exposures immediately, but the Exchange Administrators must first validate your account before you can begin redeeming exposures.

| This ratio indicates an average of how many banners are displayed on your site before someone clicks on a banner.
[Top] |
| Categories are a great way to insure visitors on your site get banners that are appropriate for the content. Each account can define one category that best describes its content. Most websites these days really would fall under multiple categories, so choose the best one for your site.
You can also display banners for only a specific category on your page. The Get HTML page in your Control Panel contains details for doing this.
[Top] |
| This is so we can insure your site meets the content standards of the Exchange. This insures that all sites in the exchange meet the scope of the exchange.

| There are two categories to chose from when you sign up- General & Kid Safe. If you want your banners shown only on family friendly websites, and you only want to advertise on family friendly websites, chose that category.
[Top] |
| The default html code is set to general, which includes both kid safe and more adult oriented websites. If you only want to show kid safe material, make sure you select that option when you are signing up. If you have signed up for kid safe only contentand you are seeing inappropriate material on your website, please contact us ASAP at the address at the bottom of this page and we will assist you in getting the problem worked out.

| This is the full path to where your banner resides on the internet. NOTE: It is not the same as an html page that your banner shows on. We need the path to the banner itself. It will end in the name of the graphic file with an extension of jpg, gif, png, or swf. It will be something like: http://www.yourdowmain/images/banner.gif. If you do not know the url of your banner, here's what to do: Surf to a page that your banner is on. Right click on the banner. Select "properties" on the box that pops up. It will list an URL for the banner. Highlight & copy that address. Paste it in the box that asks for "banner url" when you sign up.
[Top] |
| We don't host banners. You will have to upload your banners somewhere else and provide a link to them when you sign up.
[Top] |
| This is a security measure to keep out inappropriate material. We want to make this banner exchange an effective promotional tool for everyone, so the ability to keep out inappropriate and off-topic material is essential
[Top] |
| If you changed your banners, or changed the URLs they point to the banner exchange automatically takes your account out of the queue until it is validated again. This is to prevent abuse of the system. I check the accounts at least once a day so it won't take long for you to get revalidated.
