Why Should I Join this Program?A - You should join this program because you have the opportunity to increase the amount of traffic to your blog.
How did you come up with this program?A - Well, my first desire was to get more traffic to my web site,
You Can Learn Series I was spending money and time on many different programs and was unhappy with all of them. I was in a program that rewarded me for clicking on other sites. But, the amount of time I spent clicking on ads was unreasonable to me. Then the points I earned were never enough to advertise on the "Top Gun" sites. Pay per click ads were killing me as I was spending $50 and getting only 1 day of clicks. I suspected click fraud, but didn't have the time to verify. I thought I should be writing on my blog not clicking on other ads all day and I can't afford $50 a day to drive fraudulent traffic to my web site. I think a good blogger does three things, they write as often as they can, they visit other blogs, reading and commenting and they do what they can to drive new traffic and more traffic to their blog. I thought, why not reward bloggers for the things they do everyday.
Where did the name Adgitize come from?A - This is a combination word coming from Advertising and the word Agitate. Agitate means to give motion to or to move with irregular or violent action. To arouse public feeling. Advertise means to make something known publicly. To announce by notice or broadcast. To arouse a desire for action. Adgitize then is to arouse our customers to action. To get people to take action by writing in their blog, by visiting other blogs and by clicking on ads.
Advertisers
Why is this better than advertising on a Pay Per Click program?A - It is a well known fact that pay per click programs are full of click fraud. You pay $50 for 1,000 clicks and half of those clicks are fraudulent from the same person over and over with no new views of your blog. Our program encourages you to build your blog by writing often. Then we help you get traffic to your blog by showing your ad on our full network.
Why is this better than search engine optimization?A - Well you should do what ever you can to make your blog or web site search engine optimized. You can't control how often your site will come up on the first three pages in the search engines. But, in this advertising network your ads will be viewed equally. No one with more money, more links, black hat techniques or more SEO knowledge can get more visiblilty than you.
How often will my ads be clicked?A - We can't predict that. Mostly, it is determined by the type of ad you create and how good the ad is. It is also based on the members in the network and which ads they click on.
Will my ads be viewed and clicked on by people not in the network?A - Yes, the goal is to get as much exposure of your ads as possible.
Can I place more than one ad in the network?A - Yes, you can place as many ads as you like within the network. You will have to pay the monthly fee for each ad you place.
What ad sizes are available?A - We are going to start with 125px by 125px ads and 468px by 60px ads. We will add more ad types as we grow and find out what our members want.
Why isn't this program free like some other ad networks?A - Those other ad networks are wonderful and definitely deserve a place on the internet. But, my experience has been that some of those networks are slow? Why? Because they aren't earning enough money to add new servers and to hire quality programmers to optimize their code. This program uses the money received from the members to enhance the program for all members and to make sure we keep the program running fast. There is nothing worse than a slow network that slows down everyone's blog.
I don't get a lot of traffic is that okay?A - This network of bloggers will help you correct your traffic problems by sending you visitors from day one.
How are the ads placed on the network?A - Imagine there are 100 blogs within the network. The ads are placed randomly on each of the blogs and theoretically, your ad would be shown once on every blog for every 100 page views within each blog. So, if one of the blogs only receives 100 page views a day then your ad should be shown once each day on that blog. For the blog with 1000 page views your ad would be shown 10 times each day. For the TOP GUN blogs that receive 10,000 page views each day your ad will be shown on that blog about 100 times a day. If our 100 members had 1 million page views each day, then your ad would be shown about 10,000 times each day. Actual results will vary from this example.
Do you accept all ads?A - No, we do not accept ads that are Not Safe For Work, offensive ads concerning race, sex or religion or any ad the admin and moderators deem offensive for any reason.
Do you accept all web sites where ads link to?A - No, we do not accept web sites that are Not Safe For Work, offensive web sites concerning race, sex or religion or any ad the admin and moderators deem offensive for any reason. We understand there are many celebrity and cutting edge humor (comics) on the blogosphere. We will do what we can to be reasonable to those bloggers.
What do I do if I have questions?A - We have a forum where admins and moderators will answer any questions you might have. Or ask your question on our
Contact Us page. We promise to respond to you as soon as possible.
Can I quit the program?A - Yes, all you have to do is cancel your ad and an administrator will remove the ad from our network.
If I quit, can I ever come back into the program?A - Yes, just re-join and place a new ad on the network.
As an ADVERTISER do I have to show the Adgitize Network ads on my blog?A - No, but I highly recommend you do. You will get a hefty rebate of your monthly advertising fee and increase the chance that other members will click on your ad to read your latest and greatest news.
Publishers
What do I have to do to be successful in this program?A - You don't have to do anything but place our ads on your blog or web site. The goal of this program is to drive traffic to blogs and web sites of all sizes. We reward bloggers who add new content or write new articles on a regular basis.

You are rewarded points for any visits to your web site or blog. You are rewarded points any time someone clicks a member ad on your blog.
How do I earn points for my articles?A - To earn article points you need to tell us where your rss feed is located. Check out this article,
How Do I Add My Rss Feed for my Blog. You can find other helpful tips in the
Help section of the Adgitize Web Site.
Can I earn cash with this program?A - Yes, at the end of each month your points are converted to cash. We take your total points divided by the total points earned by all members. Then that percentage is multiplied by the amount of money placed into the system available for the members. You are then paid that amount once a month.
Will everybody be paid the exact same amount each month?A - No, your payout amount is dependent on the number of articles you write, clicks you place on other blogs ads, the amount of traffic you generate for your blog each month and the number of times your visitors click on our community ads on your blog.

How do I get more traffic to my blog with this program?A - Place an ad on the Adgitize network. Your ads are shown on all our member's web sites. This means your ads are viewed thousands of times per day. This gives you a great opportunity to have more clicks to your web site. But, the next advantage is that we reward members in our community to visit other blogs within the network. This means your ads will be clicked and our members will be visiting your blog. If our network has 1000 members and they each are clicking 100 different ads a day then that means our network is viewing 100,000 pages a day.
Do I make more points if I write more than once a day?A - No, you are only rewarded one point a day for writing an article.
How do you measure how many articles I write?A - It is an electronic process where we review your rssfeed. This is followed by a manual visual process by members within our community. See

How do you measure the amount of traffic I receive?A - Your traffic numbers are measured by how many times we show our ads on your blog or web site.
Do I have to put the ads on every page on my blog or web site?A - No you can choose to place the ads on one page or all your pages. You are only rewarded traffic points within our community based on views our ads receive. So, it is to your advantage to show our ads more often.
Can I show more than one ad on my blog at a time?A - Yes, we have a wide range of ad sizes 125 X 125 and 468 X 60 that you can place on your blog. These ad sizes can have groupings of between 1 and 4 ads of their specific size. You are limited to only 2 groupings on your blog. These 2 groupings can contain only 10 Adgitize Advertiser ads total.
How do I place the ads on my blog?A - Just add simple HTMl script to your blog. We show our ads in the industry standard html IFrame and all blogging software like WordPress or Bloggers can show iFrame objects.

Will I get rich with this program?A - No, this is an advertising network not a publisher network. This means we rebate you money based on your community involvement, but you are not being paid based only on the traffic you receive. We would expect you to potentially earn more money if you were just selling the space on your own. But, as an advertiser there is no better way to receive a ton of traffic to your web site.
How often am I paid my rebates?A - We pay out on the 20th of the month after earnings from the previous months reach $10 to $50 or more.

Bloggers receiving payouts by check will be assessed a $10 check writing fee which will be deducted from the check before being sent to you.

How long will it take me to reach a payout of $10 to $50?A - This will be different for every blogger within the program. It will depend on how active you are within the community. Most bloggers will earn rebates of between $5 to $20 each month.
Are the points fair?A - The points are weighted so they are fair to bloggers that write, visit other blogs and have high traffic.
What happens if I don't have a lot of time to visit other blogs?A - You choose to visit none, one or up to 100 blogs per day. No one will force you to visit more than zero blogs a day. You will get traffic from this network as an advertiser without having to spend all day visiting other blogs.
Do I have to show any ads on my blog?A - Yes, that is one requirement that you must show our ads on at least one page within your blog as a publisher.
