What is pay-for-performance?
Pay-for-performance (also pay-for-action) is the true win-win method of revenue sharing programs, where a Publisher (webmaster) receives commission or a fixed rate payment for delivering a visitor to an Advertiser’s site or for generating other campaign “desired actions” like a lead, completed application, download or sale for the Advertiser.
What is a Publisher?
A Publisher (or Webmaster) is the owner of a website(s) in the Advertising Revenue Service (ARS) network that promotes the products or service offerings of an Advertiser in exchange for commission.
What is an Advertiser?
An Advertiser is any website registered in the ARS network that places ad/marketing campaigns, selling or offering products or services, or other pre-defined actions. An Advertiser places ads in various creative forms on Publisher’s websites and pays those Publishers a commission as a result of the visitor performing the desired action to the Advertiser’s message.
Can I run multiple Advertiser Campaigns?
Yes, Advertisers are not limited to the number of campaigns that they want to run and Publishers in the ARS network are constantly on the look-out for high value, high volume opportunities.
What are cookies, and do I have to use them?
A cookie is really a "visitor identification number" that is recorded and stored on the visitor’s computer in their web browser’s cookie file. When the visitor surfs a website which ARS serves ads for, our system reads the cookie to help target ads to that visitor resulting in helping Advertisers evaluate which creative approaches work best. Cookies also help build psychographic information on that visitor and tracking to properly credit the Publisher that sent that visitor to the Advertiser’s website. It is important to note that cookies in no way harm visitors’ computers.
