How the co-op works
The short version
You promote one link. Every real visitor who lands on that link earns you one credit and is then forwarded to an advert belonging to another member. When you spend a credit, one of your own pages is shown to somebody else in exactly the same way. Nobody buys traffic from us; members supply it to each other.
Step by step
| Step | What you do | What the co-op does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create a free account and add the pages you want traffic to. | Issues a unique coop code and credits your account with 500 starter credits once your email is confirmed. |
| 2 | Copy your coop link into manual exchanges, mailers, safelists and signatures. | Tracks every hit on that link, with the visitor's fingerprint and user agent. |
| 3 | Keep promoting. | Awards 1 credit per verified visit, filters bots and ignores repeats within 24 hours. |
| 4 | Nothing. | Forwards each visitor to a member advert, and charges that advertiser 1 credit for the completed view. |
Credit rules
- A visit only credits if the user agent is not a known bot or automated client.
- The same visitor fingerprint on the same coop link only credits once in any 24 hour period.
- Auto surf, passive surf and other non-manual traffic is not credited and may result in account suspension.
- Credits do not expire and cannot be transferred between accounts.
Rotation weighting
Free accounts enter the rotation at standard weight. Upgraded accounts enter at double weight, which means their adverts are selected roughly twice as often for the same number of credits spent.
