Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
PLEASE NOTE: Most questions are answered
below. If you have a question not
answered below please contact your
Account Manager (the person from whom
you purchased your traffic).
How is the traffic on this system
delivered and where does the traffic
come from?
All websites are delivered via our Ad
Server. Our Ad Server is actually a
unique url that all source traffic is
delivered to, and then websites on our
Ad Server are shown in rotation.
The source traffic is what is known
as raw bulk traffic. We buy traffic in
large quantities, including excess
traffic, and therefore get large
discounts. Those discounts have been
passed on to you. It is much like being
part of a large advertising cooperative.
You benefit with lower prices but you
are expected to be certain your traffic
campaigns comply with all of the Terms
of Service or your campaign will be
removed.
The source traffic can be from Exit
Exchanges, Expired Domains, Popunders,
Redirects, Traffic Exchanges, etc. We
never use Spam or Bulk Email.
It is possible that any stats system
on your website may show that all of
your traffic is coming from our Adserver.
Can I see an example of the Ad Server?

How do I add a traffic campaign to my
account?
Adding a traffic campaign is extremely
easy to do. In your Control Panel you
will first check your site to make sure
it is not a frame breaker and that t does
not have pop or exit windows, sound,
rotator, redirects etc. If your website
is OK, click on the button Add New
Campaign in the Menu Bar near the top of
the Control Panel main page, then:
1. Enter your website url. (The http://
part has already been added for you).
2. Enter a short one or two word
Campaign Title so that you will be able
to easily identify this campaign. This
is for your information only and will
not be shown to anyone else.
3. Click on the Create Campaign button.
After your campaign has been
submitted it will be reviewed within one
business day by the Traffic Network
Administrator. You will receive a
confirmation email from support@pop-traffic.com
when your campaign has been Approved. If
your Campaign is not Approved for a
violation of our Terms Of Service (see
TERMS in Menu bar) it will be deleted
and you will lose traffic credits from
your Traffic Account. Serious violations
may result in termination of your
Traffic Account and loss of all of your
credits (see Terms for more
information).
How can I tell how much traffic is being
delivered to my website?
All Advertisers receive access to an
Individual Control Panel so that they
can manage their traffic campaigns by
adding new campaigns or modifying
existing traffic campaigns.
You can also track the stats of traffic
delivered to your campaign from your CP.
You will see stats showing the total
amount of traffic sent to your campaigns
on a daily basis as well as for the
week. Your remaining credits will be an
indication of how many total hits were
received since your campaign(s) began.
What does the term "Hits" mean?
Hits are the total number of visitors
that see your website(s).
Our ad server is shown across many
traffic networks. Each network
represents a unique "hit" but many
people on that network may actually see
your site and would be counted as a Hit.
I am certain that my campaign was
working correctly and I had hits
recorded to the campaign. Now it shows
0. What happened?
You should monitor your website and then
pause your campaign in the event that
your server is down or you have exceeded
your bandwidth. We monitor all campaigns
daily and any website that does not
contain any content (server down, can't
find server, bandwith exceeded, etc.) is
removed from the Adserver. Any time a
campaign is removed from the Adserver
all stats for that campaign are also
removed (essentially reset to "0" for
the Today or This Week stats).
If your campaign has been removed
because of no content, any credits that
were assigned to that campaign by you
will be placed back in your traffic
account. If your campaign was removed
because of a Terms violation, you will
lose substantial traffic credits and
your Traffic Account may be terminated.
How can I manage my credits ?
Just click on the [Manage
Credits] link in your Control
Panel (CP).
You can manage credits for your profile
and transfer credits to your campaigns.
Also you can store credits for future
use.
To place credits to your profile basket
from some of the campaigns click Store
button, and to transfer credits from
basket to some of your campaigns click
Add button.
If credits reserved to a campaign drop
below 0, that campaign will receive no
traffic until credits are raised again
above 0.
What is the time frame for delivery of
traffic to the traffic campaigns?
All traffic campaigns are on
run-of-the-network basis and is
open-ended delivery date. This means
that, as long as your traffic campaign
is in good standing and in compliance
with our TERMS OF SERVICE, your campaign
will remain on the network until you
have received all traffic credits that
have been assigned to it. The minimum
delivery time is likely to be 60 days
for most of the smaller sized campaigns.
Campaigns that have been assigned larger
number of traffic credits will take
longer.
How can I buy additional credits for
more traffic to my campaigns?
We only sell traffic through Authorized
Resellers. Please contact your Traffic
Account Manager (the person from whom
you bought your original traffic) and
let them know you need additional
traffic credits added to your account.
A note about Counters on your website:
We only rely on our tracking for the
number of hits sent to your website. Our
tracking is the most accurate because
the "hit counts" are incremented at the
same exact time a visitor is sent to
your site. Unlike 3rd party counters, we
don't have any load time to worry about.
There are an enormous amount of counters
with various load rates and it is
impossible to accomodate each customer's
counter. For example, some counters take
as much as 30 seconds to count a visitor
(some even more). We cannot control the
behavior of the user/surfer, or force
them to stay on the site a certain
length of time. If they choose to 'close
out' prior to your counter load, it is
still considered a delivered visitor.
This is how we are charged by the
networks that supply traffic, which
leaves no other option but to charge our
customers in the same manner.
