We do have an Alertpay drawing for real cash.
See your members menu for AP Drawing.

Can I have more than 1 account?
No. If we find you signing up for multiple accounts you will be banned/blocked.
One account per user only!

If you sign up using a proxy connection then dont come crying when your account gets deleted!
More than 1 account per ip is NOT allowed!

Can I buy site credits?
Yes, from your members home page, click the buy credits link to review prices.
We currently accept payments via AlertPay, or Strict Pay.
Always email us or use the contact us form after making a purchase to ensure you get credited.
All site purchases are final, no refunds period.

Why didn't I receive my activation email?
Well if you use notmail(hotmail), aohell(aol), yahell(yahoo) or any other free email service,
please check your spam/junk folders, thats where it will usually end up.
Gmail from google is the best free email service out there, if you need an invite just let us know.

Email Autoresponders are NOT allowed!
Your account will be removed if we receive them.

Why are my sites not approved?
You will need to surf the minimum amount to activate your account
before we will approve your sites.
All sites must have 1,000 credits allocated to them before they will be approved.

Why was my account deleted?
If you sign up & dont activate your account within 72 hours it will be deleted.
If you use an email autoresponder your account will be deleted.
If you sign up for more than 1 account all of your accounts will be deleted.
If you repeatedly submit sites that are on the Banned List
or otherwise break the rules, your account will be deleted.
Please follow the rules, theres not that many and its not that hard.

What sites are banned?
A complete list is available in the members area.

Can I use my account cash to buy credits?
Yes, however, this script is not set up to handle it automatically.
Use the Account Cash Purchase form or the contact us form with the amount you want to purchase,
and your account will be credited with the credits and debited for the cash.
For PTC campaigns the same applies.
For PTC campaigns we will need the info for what site you are promoting, banner info, etc.
Again, please review the account cash credit pricing first.

Why am I not getting any hits?
You must manually allocate your credits to your sites or they wont be shown.
Allocate your credits to your sites by clicking on the edit button to the right of your credit total.

Are rotators allowed?
No, rotators are no longer allowed, period.

Do we get credits for abuse reports?
Yes, 500 credits will be awarded for valid abuse reports.
Please read the terms, if you see a site that is in violation, report it.

How long do the upgrade units last?
It varies. They currently are set at 10 days.

Why are my sites suddenly on hold?
If you have no credits allocated to your sites they will be put on hold.
Once you allocate credits to your site click on the edit button next to each site to re-enable it.
If you have not surfed in more than 7 days and have no account credits to move to your sites, your site will be removed.
If you submit a site without 1,000 credits allocated to it and dont have enough account credits to support it, it will be deleted.

Surfing Safety!
For your own surfing safety we recommend using Mozilla/Firefox browser only, with noscript plugin/addon enabled.
Internet Explorer is not safe under any circumstances in our opinion and should not be used.
We run a clean surf but there is always someone changing something on their sites which is out of our control, once we catch anything bad in rotation it is removed immediately.
Remember, protect yourselves at all times, use Firefox!
