Selling traffic has priority over the rest of the outgoing traffic, even over owed forces. More traffic you sell, less of it is left available for outgoing distribution based on the trade algorithm.
You can sell your traffic through special Seller trades. TE3 allows two options to sell your traffic:
This method allows you to sell a preferred percent of your overall traffic and is the recommended method. It allows you to exclude trades and to sell traffic from selected niches.
Navigate to Overview menu and click
Add trade
to open “Add trade” drop-down menu.
Click
Add seller (sell traffic)
and open “add seller” pop-up window.
Enter
http://www.seller.com/
into the Seller URL input
.
Fill in the
Sell % of your traffic
input (input a number between 0
and 100
, you may use up to 2 decimal places).
Click
to add new seller. Seller is now added to the list of trades and is displayed inside your stats table (menus Overview and Hourly). “Seller” section is marked with a different color and contains a Seller summary stats row.
The percentage of traffic you are selling is displayed inside skim pattern
column (you have to enable the column using Interface manager). This will not only allow you to view percentage for all your sellers, but you will be able to change it directly from the stats table using Quick edit option - simply click on the respective table cell in the Skim pattern
column and edit the trade.
You can set seller status as Active
or Inactive
, that way you can keep sellers on your trade list even when you are not selling traffic. Simply mark seller as Inactive
and temporarily suspend it (when a seller is Inactive
, it is displayed as
).
seller.com
External feature prevents cycling surfers between the same sites over and over again by adding “visited domains” parameter at the end of the outgoing link (this feature should be considered, when you are selling traffic to another TE3 user).
Don't sell traffic from selected trades
If you don't want to sell traffic from certain trades, you can exclude them (use CTRL + left mouse click to select / deselect preferred trades).
Sell only traffic from selected niches
Only sell traffic from trades assigned to a certain niche, or multiple niches (use CTRL + left mouse click to select / deselect preferred niches).
Update trade on other sites in your network
Network sync function allows you to update settings for respective seller on other sites in your network. To proceed, select sites from the multiple select box.
This method allows you to sell every Xth click by adding a seller directly into the skim pattern. However, we advise you to use the first option of selling traffic (adding a seller and specifying the percentage of traffic you wish to sell), as it is easier to oversee and manage.
Navigate to Overview menu and click
Add trade
to open “Add trade” drop-down menu.
Click
Add seller (sell traffic)
and open “add seller” pop-up window.
Enter
http://www.seller.com/
into the Seller URL input
.
Enter
0
into the Sell % of your traffic
input.
Click
to add new seller.
Select
Default skim
from the drop-down menu.
Enter preferred pattern. We chose
100,70,60,seller.com,60
- 1st click goes 100% to a gallery behind u=
parameter, 2nd click 70% to gallery and 30% to a trade, 3rd click 60% to gallery, 4th click goes to seller.com
, 5th and all further clicks 60% to gallery.
Click
or press
Enter
to confirm the new pattern.
You can even combine the two methods - some webmasters prefer to sell a certain percent of their traffic and add seller into their skim pattern.
Example:
Sell % of your traffic
is set to 2%
and default skim is set to 100,70,60,seller.com,60
:
Consecutive click | Distribution |
---|---|
1st click | there is 98% probability surfer will be sent to a gallery behind u= parameter and 2 % probability surfer will be sent to seller.com |
2nd click | 68% to gallery, 30% to trade and 2% to seller.com |
3rd click | 58% to gallery, 40% to trade and 2% to seller.com |
4th click | 100% to seller.com |
5th and all further clicks | 58% to gallery, 40% to trade and 2% to seller.com |
