FAQ
How does it work?
VRZone Banner Exchange is where members allow advertising
banners to be displayed on their Web pages, while their
advertising banners will be displayed on other members Web
sites. For every banner shown on your site, you earn one credit.
For every credit you have, your banner will be shown on the
exchange. The programming part is simple, just add the html code
that will be supplied to you and simply cut and paste that code
into your Web page. Then other members of VRZone Banner Exchange
will be able to start showing their banners on your site. We'll
provide help and instructions if you need it. You also need to
upload your own advertising banner into the system. Once you
have uploaded your banner our staff will approve it as quickly
as possible. Once your banner is approved it will then be
displayed on other members Web sites. This banner will help
increase the potential of generating many hits to your Web site.
What do I need to join?
You have to have a Web site that is up and running. Then you
need a 468x60 pixel image (your advertising banner). Now you
are ready to join. If you don't have your banner image ready you
can still join and allow other banners to be displayed on your
site.
What is a banner?
A banner is a 468x60 pixel image. For example see the one at
the top of this Web page. If you do not have a banner you can
create one using any type of graphical programs. You should
place your advertising message on your banner for example "Click
here to purchase my products", as well as anything that would
set your banner apart from the crowd. Using animation or cool
images along with other techniques helps a lot.
What types of banners are accepted?
All banners in the exchange are reviewed by our staff to ensure
that they are appropriate for general audiences. We do not
accept any advertisements for adult material. Banners and Web
sites must not contain nudity, partial nudity, violence, vulgar
language, or links to adult sites. Banners cannot imply a link
to an adult content site. We have strict company policies on
this issue and we deny or cancel member account if we feel they
have violated our acceptable use policy.
What is a credit?
A credit is earned either by showing one banner on your site or
by purchasing credits from VRZone Your credits represents the
number of times your banner will be displayed on other members
Web pages. 1 credit is worth 1 impression on our banner
exchange.
What is an impression?
Impression is equal to credit. Every time one of your banners
are displayed on our exchange, you have just generated an
impression. If
you have 1000 credits, then that means that you have at least
1000 impressions available for your banner.
What is a click-thru reward?
Click-thru rewards are for members who have placed an HTML code
into their Web page. Each time the VRZone banner is clicked on,
you generate a 2 credit reward in addition to the 1 credit you
received for displaying a members banners on your Web page.
Do I have to place the banner at the top?
Banner placement on your Web site has a direct impact on the
amount of click-thru rewards and hits you can generate. VRZone
requires that you place the banner code at the top or close to
it of your Web page.
What is CTR and CTP?
Click-Thru Ratio(CTR) and Click-thru Percent(CTP) are both
measures of how well your banner is performing on our exchange.
For example: Lets say your banner had 100 impressions (shown on
other members pages) and had 5 click-thrus (5 different people
click on your banner and were pulled to your Web page). Your CTR
would be 20:1 or 100 impressions / 5 click-thrus. Your CPR would
be 5% or 5 click-thrus / 100 impressions. They are actually the
same measure, but one is a ratio and the other is a percentage.
Any banner with 1% CTP is considered acceptable and should not
be changed. Any banner with 0.5% CTPs should probably be
changed.
What is HTML Code, and where do I get it?
The HTML code is a couple of lines of text that when you insert
it into your Web site runs when people are pulling up your site.
This little bit of programming code allows VRZone Banner
Exchange the availability to display banners on your site. You
can generate this HTML code by selecting "Get HTML Code" option
from our control panel.
How do I insert the HTML code into my Web page?
There are many different ways to insert HTML code into your Web
page, but the easiest would be to use a text editor and then cut
the code generated from our control panel and then paste it back
into your Web page. After that save and publish your page and
your all done. If you are using software to generate your Web
page you can also paste the code into the page, however, you may
need more help so please feel free to email us with any
questions you may have. E-mail

How long does it take to set up a new banner?

24 hour time period. There may be some exceptions, but our AUP

not only protects you but it also protects VRZone.
