Preparing to Sell Your Space.

• You should have a general understanding of Aaddzz.
  Read about the Aaddzz concepts of impressions and click-thrus. Additionally, examine Aaddzz pricing and supported ad sizes.

• You will need an Aaddzz account.
  If you do not have an Aaddzz account, you will need to open an account.

  You only need one account regardless of how many sites you are selling ad spaces for. If you already use Aaddzz for purchasing ad space, we recommend you use the same account for selling ad space.

• Determine what sizes of ads you will use and where to place them.
  Examine the available ad sizes to determine which sizes will work best with your page.

  Aaddzz rules require that you place your ad spaces where most viewers will not need to scroll to view them. Additionally, the majority of your page must not be ads.

  Your goal in placing ad spaces should be to provide the most effective ad space for the advertiser that does not interfere with your content.

  You can place up to three Aaddzz ad spaces on a page.

  An effective technique to improve the performace of your spaces is to duplicate them on the same page. For example, this page places the same ads at both the top and bottom of the page. If your page is quite long, you may want to place additional copies in the middle.

  To increase the potential ad revenue for your site, you may attract more advertisers to the Aaddzz network by placing a link to Aaddzz beside your ad space. The more advertisers that use Aaddzz, the more likey the ads placed on you pages will be of a higher value.

  

  The Aaddzz logo on the right side is a seperate GIF from the ad. More information on adding these Aaddzz GIFs can be found on the Linking page.

Verifying your commission.

• Verifying your space's activity.
  Visit your page and view an ad on your page. Click on an ad.

  Click Activity from beside your ad space's listing on the Manage Pages page.

  This will display a list of the last 25 impressions (when an ad was shown) and the last 25 click-thrus (when someone clicked on an ad).

  Unless your page has shown 25 ads since you viewed your page, you should see your visit listed in the impressions and click-thrus columns.

  Since Aaddzz has no way of knowing it was you who viewed and clicked on an ad, you can conclude that Aaddzz either reports all impression and click-thrus or Aaddzz was lucky in deciding to report your impressions and click-thrus. By randomly testing the system, you should be able to conclude that Aaddzz reports all impressions and click-thrus.

• Verifying your space's payments.
  View the Activity for your ad. Make note of the most recent impression and click-thru events.

  From the Table Of Contents page, click Statements to view your current statement. Your statement is generated in real-time and reflects all events which take place in your account.

  Make note of your commission balance.

  View the Activity for your ad. If you have not earned a commission on your ad space, wait a while and Update the page.

  After you have received a commission, check your commission balance to verify that the commission from the ad event was credited to your commission balance.

• Cross verification.
  If you know someone who advertises with Aaddzz and you happen to see their ad on one of your pages, you can cross check Aaddzz.

  Ask the advertiser how much they pay per impression or click-thru. Then check the Activity for your space to make sure you were paid your 80% commission.
