General Help and Trouble-shooting!

No Banner is showing!

If you have checked all the options and none of them seems to work, then the problem is probably an error in the HTML code or you are going through a proxy server or firewall that has all requests to port 81 disabled. In the case of proxy server or firewall, you will not see any FB banners or logo buttons (beside the banner) on any pages - including ours.

If it is an error in HTML, please compare with the original HTML code you received. If you still cannot get it to work, then please send us feedback.

Note: If your account has been suspended, you will also see no banners.

Not receiving credits


This is usually due to an error in the HTML logic, or having more than one account number. Please check the account number in the Free Banners HTML on your pages to be sure that it matches the account number which you are checking credits for.

If the banner shows up as a broken image, then it is not being displayed and you are not getting credits. This is caused by an HTML error. You may want to get a fresh copy of the HTML - on the Member Login page; enter your account number and password, then click the Submit HTML button.

Not receiving enough credits


This can happen if the banner is further down on a page than other things. Comparison of page views to banner requests will probably not match, because some people browse in text only and others click away or stop the page from loading completely. For a more accurate comparison, check your logs for an image file that is below the Free Banners banner to the visit count for the Free Banners banner.

If you have multiple pages, and you are not using unique page numbers then you will not receive unique credits for each page. Please see the HTML example for your account for more details- on the Member Login page; enter your account number and password, then click the Submit HTML button.

No response after sending feedback


We try to answer all mail within 72 hours. Usually we answer within 24, except on weekends or when we are about to release an update. If you sent mail or feedback that warranted a reply and have not received one, chances are that the return e-mail address was wrong.

Cannot change ratings


If you are changing from level 2 (general) to level 1 (kid safe), the rating change will not take place. This keeps people from changing site or banner ratings (that should be rated level 2) to  Kid Safe, and offending lots of people. If your content have really changed, and you believe that you are now a kid safe site, please email us to make the changes for you.

Only Free Banners banners appear


If you have just joined, then this will occur until your banner has been submitted.
This can also occur if there is a shortage in targets for your segment. For example, if you are one of two sites in an imaginary segment called "Rock lovers", and the other site had millions of hits per hour, then there would be few banners targeted toward this segment that would be left for display on your site. This is an extreme example, the fact being that low demand will cause only Free Banners banners to appear. You may want to turn off targeting if this happens.

Sometime, it could also be due to lack of banners on the queue and our default banners will be displayed.

In some cases, we have reason to lock accounts because of lack of compliance with the Terms and Conditions. If this is the case, you should receive mail with describing why such a lock was placed. Mail will be sent to the address in your profile.
