Fast-Start Membership

Banners Broker is pleased to introduce the new Fast-Start Membership, a quick and easy way to get your Banners Broker account started now, but pay for it later. The Fast-Start Membership works just like the purchase of a regular package but with a few key differences:

1. Fast-Start Membership allows a package to be acquired without first funding your account
2. Fast-Start Membership packages are activated at the time of acquisition (and therefore may not be transferred)
3. Fast-Start Membership packages may only be purchased by affiliates who do not already own an activated package
4. Sales Credits from the acquisition of a Fast-Start Membership package are not awarded to an affiliates inviter until after the Fast-Start package is paid for
5. Funds going toward the purchase of a Fast-Start Membership package must come from the funding of an affiliates account (i.e. not Available to Withdraw)
6. The Fast-Start Membership is only applicable to the purchase of a standard package
7. Membership Subscriptions are not applied to the account for the first 30 days (think of it as a free month!)
8. Fast-Start Membership packages have an additional $10 processing fee.

In addition to these differences there are a few rules that are applied to a Fast-Start Membership:

1. Packages or panels may not be transferred to or from the account, until the package has been paid for
2. Withdrawals may not be made from the account, until the package has been paid for

There are also a few rules that are applied toward the purchase of a Fast-Start Membership package:

1. You cannot purchase a Fast-Start Membership package if you have sufficient ad credits in your E-Wallet to purchase that package outright
2. Any funded money in an affiliates account prior to starting your Fast-Start month will be put toward paying off the acquired package
3. When a Fast-Start Membership package is acquired, the affiliate has 30 days to fund the remaining balance of the cost of the package
4. If the affiliate does not pay for their Fast-Start Membership package within 30 days of it's acquisition, the Fast-Start Membership package along with the associated panels will be removed from the affiliate's account. This inventory will not be able to be returned to the affiliate under any circumstances. Any funds that went toward the purchase of the Fast-Start package will be returned to the affiliate's eWallet. The affilates account will be reset to it's original "Free" status.

Changes to Traffic Packs

Traffic packs no longer provide a constant 50,000 bonus traffic hits. Instead, these traffic hits now scale with account type. Standard affiliates receive 5000 bonus hits on their traffic packs, premium affiliates receive 10,000 bonus hits, and executive affiliates receive 15,000 bonus hits.

External Traffic Packs

External Traffic Packs are a completely separate product from regular traffic packs, and they do not count towards the traffic pack limit for Standard or Premium affiliates. It is not a subscription-based product, you purchase them and apply as needed. They can be purchased before or after an affiliate's site has been approved; the traffic does not need to be applied right away. They cost $50 and allow you to apply 50,000 traffic to your external site. An affiliate's website must be approved in order to apply an External Traffic Pack to it. External Traffic Packs are indivisible; the entire 50,000 hits must be applied to one external site. Affiliates can apply as many external traffic packs as they like to their sites. Traffic is directed to these external sites by providing an incentive website to affiliates. Affiliates are awarded 1 incentive traffic per site they click on, with each click redirecting them to an external website to which an External Traffic Pack is applied.

Click Incentive

A new way to earn incentive traffic which you can use to qualify your panels. When you click on the link below, it will open a new web page. You will see a timer counting down on this page, and a green button will appear when the timer reaches 0 which reads "Get your incentive traffic!". When you click on this button, it will open a new page and you will be awared 1 incentive traffic. You will receive the incentive traffic immediately, and you can see this in your back-office in the traffic bank section of the website under Manage Traffic.Learn More

Purchase History

The Purchase History now shows the type of purchase made as well as any relevant product codes. This feature will allow an affiliate to see the panel codes of the panels they have purchased.

Panel Search

A search panel tool has been added to the View panels page. Simply enter a panel code to search for panels in your inventory. This is advantageous to affiliates who have a large number of panels and want to find their panels quickly across many pages.

Traffic Allocation logs

Traffic Allocation Logs have been added to the Traffic Bank section of the website. This allows you to track the allocation of traffic. When you use a traffic pack, you must allocate the traffic to the Traffic Pack traffic banks across each of the colors. You must also do this with organic and incentive traffic. Here, you can see where you allocated your traffic, as well as what the amounts were at before and after each of the allocations. This will allow affiliates to keep track of what their traffic banks were at before they allocated more traffic to them.

Feedback Section

A feedback section has been added to the Dashboard section of the website. Affiliates can submit suggestions, comments, or bugs to our team to investigate. These messages are limited to a 600 character length to ensure we can go through the feedback efficiently by keeping the messages succinct.

Withdrawal Rules

An affiliate can withdraw up to $500,000 per year. This refreshes on the date the affiliate signed up on Banners Broker. If an affiliate withdraws the maximum $500,000, then you are then able to withdraw twice of the amount your direct referrals have funded. Can only withdraw 4 times a month and once every 7 days.

Referral Credits

The Sales Credit page under Manage Inventory has been renamed to Referral Credits.

Subscription Manager

The Subscription manager nows shows the date your traffic pack was activated, as well as when traffic packs were allocated.

Notarized Form

An additional field has been added in the Personal Information section to upload the Notarized form. This no longer needs to be done in the Proof of ID section of the website.

Content Management Console.
