URLs Deleted

I apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused, but about 19 members surfing had to have noticed The CLiX Network coming up over and over again for a breif period of time (3-4 minutes tops). What happened is I ran a query on the database, trying to remove any banned urls, and for some reason it didn't get the list of banned urls, so deleted them all. Anyways, I was talking to Robert (Mystical Maze) and he was asking about backups, which reminded me it was time to do one..  So after realizing I wiped out the urls, I quickly recovered most of them. I say most of them because there were probably a couple that were added between the backup and restore. Again, I'm sorry if you were one of the few affected by it..  But most of you will notice you are getting all those hits delivered again :0)

Tracker Script

I have just finished creating a tracker script and would like to give a special discount to StartXchange members. The normal price for the script will be $49.95, but untill the new year it will be $39.95. StartXchange members can purchase this advanced tracker for only $29.95, untill the new year. Whether for yourself, or for someone you know for Christmas, every marketer needs a tracker!

The CLiX Network Tracker Script will keep track of IP addresses, Browsers, Operating Systems, Countries, Language, Refering Pages, and Refering Domains. You can also setup Result Trackers so you can see where purchases are coming from!

Updated Report System

I updated the report page. A few things you'll notice. First, when you click report, it will goto the report page within the frame of the site you are viewing..  No more leaving your surfing. Second, You can select from your last 5 urls which url you are reporting. Although the report ticket includes all 5, this will help me better get to which url it is. Third, You can select from a list of what you are reporting, instead of having to type it in each time. Lastly, after you report, if a frame breaker poped up the report page, you can return surfing by clicking the link on the thank you page.

Also there is a new option on the report page you can use to help out other members. If you notice a 404 page, or a page can't be displayed, or some other error like that, you can report it and select "404, DNS, and Other Errors" and I will pause the URL and send an email to the owner letting them know!

The new report system is alot smoother and easier to use, so you can get right back to buisness after coming across a violating website.

Sponsor Positions

Our December Sponsors are each receiving over 250 hits per day, and increasing! January positions are on sale now, so don't lose out..  There is a limit of 10 sponsors each month.

What do Sponsors get? Traffic! For only $20, their URLs are in rotation with the other (up to) 10 sponsors. Every time a member starts surfing (whether first time today, or went away for a period of time) they see a Sponsor page. Also, StartXchange limits viewing each site once every 20 views, so if there aren't any other sites that you can visit at the moment, you are sent to a Sponsor page. And Finally, the Sponsor rotator is entered normally into the exchange, to ensure great exposure!

Sponsor Positions are great for Co-Ops! If you run a Co-Op, you can get a very good amount of traffic for $20. And you aren't limited to one position per month!

Referal Page Options

I just added some new options for your referal page. I have noticed while surfing other exchanges, advertisements for StartXchange. I'm sure many of you have seen referal pages for StartXchange in other exchanges too, and many of you probably have advertised StartXchange to other members.

Well I got to thinking, and made the option to allow you to send existing members to another page! You can use your exsiting StartXchange rotator, or specify another URL..  Maybe even a referal URL to another program!

One thing to be carefull about though, is advertising in exchanges that don't allow rotators or redirects. You dont want your page to get removed :0) To set up these new options, login and click "My Downline" in the "Members Menu".
