Menu: Settings / Sign-up page

inlinetoc

“Trade sign-up page” is an external page where webmasters can sign-up for a trade with your site. It can be found here: http://www.yoursite.com/te3/signup.php

Open “Trade sign-up page” into a new window and perhaps sign-up a test trade, so you can see how it works.

To configure and control “Trade sign-up page” go to “Settings / Sign-up page” (inside admin interface) and open the “Sign-up page” window. Thirteen accordions allow you to fully customize settings and specify requirements for webmasters:

Select which info you wish displayed on your “Sign-up page” (only Return URL is mandatory).

Select which stats you wish displayed on your “Sign-up page” (optional).

set trading rules for webmasters (optional)

set required trade rank with Alexa and/or Google (optional)

Alexa global traffic rank is calculated from a site's estimated average of daily unique visitors and its estimated number of pageviews over the past 3 months. Read more about Alexa.

Google PageRank - the values 0 to 10 determine a page’s importance, reliability and authority on the web according to Google. It's one of many factors used to determine which pages appear in search results. Read more about Google PageRank.

select which parameters are Optional, Required or Disabled (hidden) on your webmaster “Sign-up page”.

You can further specify settings and rules for new trades added by webmasters trough the “Sing-up page” in the “Advanced” accordion.

#	Action	Description
1.	New trade approved	trades added trough the sign-up page will appear as “new trades” in the “Overview” menu by default. You should easily spot the icon next to the domain name for trades that haven't been approved yet. Unapproved trades must reach “start raw” and “start clicks” parameters before they will get any traffic in return.
2.	Start raw	number of incoming “raw” hits new trade must send you, before you start returning traffic.
3.	Start clicks	number of “clicks” new trade must send you, before you start returning traffic.
4.	Thumb grabber	you can enable / disable thumb grabber for each individual trade.
5.	Ratio	Ratios are relative to each other. You can give trade advantage or disadvantage over other trades. Read more about ratios here.
6.	Active / Inactive	You can set trade status as active or inactive. Inactive trades will not get any traffic in return, neither will they appear on the toplist.
7.	Skim	is set to “default skim” by default. You can set “internal skim” for individual trades or system trades (any or all) and it will outpower “default skim” for those trades. If you set “external skim” ( s=X directly in the outgoing link ) it will also have priority over “default skim” (but not over “internal skim”).
8.	Algorithm	there are seven algorithms to choose from. You will find detailed descriptions for each algorithm here.
9.	Color	selected color will appear as the background color in the “domain” cell for the respective trade in the “overview” stats table, so you can easily spot specific trades you want to keep an eye on.
10.	Include in toplist	if this option is checked, the respective trade has a chance to be listed in a toplist. if it is NOT checked, this trade will never get listed in a toplist, even if it deserves to be.
11.	External feature	this feature prevents cycling surfers between the same sites over and over again by adding “visited domains” parameter at the end of the outgoing link using GET method. Read more about “External feature” here.
12.	Push to size	you can specify trade volume (incoming raw hits) you want to reach for this trade using Push to size parameter. If Push to size parameter is not equal to 0 and incoming raws are smaller than the value set, return algo will use Push ratio instead of normal ratio to extra push the trade. Once the incoming raws reach Push to size value, Push ratio gets disabled and “normal” ratio is in use again.
13.	Push ratio	Push ratio is correlated to Push to size. If Push to size parameter is not equal to 0 and incoming raws are smaller than the value set, return algo will use Push ratio instead of normal ratio to extra push the trade. Once the incoming raws reach Push to size value, Push ratio gets disabled and “normal” ratio is in use again.

“Forces” are essential for effective traffic trading. You can use them to start-up new trades and to keep the existing trades stable. Send (force) specified amount of traffic to individual trades based on the “force conditions set”. For both force types, Instant and Per hour, you can choose between Free and Force hits. Read more about forces here.

capping accordion allows you to set up to 6 capping types (conditions) for each individual trade. All capping types (except Max prod) are disabled by default. You should only enable capping (any type), if you have a very good reason for that. Read more about capping here.

If you are often adding new trades to the same niches, it might be reasonable for you to preselect those niches. When a webmaster signs up a new trade, this trade will automatically get assigned to those niches you have preselected.

To proceed, select preferred niches from the multiple select box (use CTRL + left mouse click to select / deselect them) and click Update.

If your trades are sorted into niches you can allow webmasters to sign-up their sites directly into niches, that correspond to their site's content. When the skim selects a surfer to be sent to a trade instead of a gallery while using niches, only trades from the niche group are loaded.

To proceed, select niches from the multiple select box and click Update. Selected niches will be listed on your “Sign-up page”.

Network sync function allows you to update your sign-up page settings on other sites on your network.
