Q. What is the TCFB Advertising Network?

The TCFB Advertising Network is a free service that allows you to trade pop-under pageviews (PopViewstm) with other websites.

Q. What is a PopViewtm?

A PopViewtm is a presentation of your website to a new visitor by creating a window behind the browser the visitor is looking at. Although it displays automatically, it does so without being obtrusive because it is a pop-under, not a pop-up window. A PopViewtm is generated when the visitor leaves the webpage that creates it. There is never more than one PopViewtm on any visitor's desktop.

Q. Is there any cost to me to sign up?

The TCFB Advertising Network is absolutely free!

Q. What do I have to do to join?

Joining the network is an easy three step process.
  • 1. Use the JOIN form to give us your name and the URL of your website.
  • 2. Decide which category you wish to trade PopViewstm in.
  • 3. Paste a single line of text onto any or all of your webpages.

Q. How can the TCFB Advertising Network offer this for FREE?

As we mentioned above, the TCFB Advertising Network exchange ratio is 1:2 ratio. For every two unique visitors that leave your site, you get one PopViewtm displayed from another member's site. The other one is sold to advertisers.

Q. Is the TCFB Advertising Network available to everyone?

With a few restrictions, (see our terms) the TCFB Advertising Network is available to any website owner who wishes to dramatically increase his or her web traffic.

Q. Do I only exchange traffic with sites in the same language as my website?

Yes, if you join as an English website, you will only swap traffic with other sites in the same language. We have also provided several categories, and you will only receive traffic from other websites in the category you joined. If there is no other sites in your category, you will get traffic from other sites in the language you signed up for.

Q. What if I don't have a website?

No problem! If you are a business, simply go to The Center For Business and sign up for a free website. Signing up at TCFB Automatically enrolls you in the TCFB Advertising Network.

Q. I have a business website. I don't want to promote personal or hobby sites.

This is a common issue for businesses on the web. At The Center for Business, we understand that you need to protect your business presentation and reputation. That why the TCFB Advertising Network has over 200 business-only categories. Your website will never present a personal or hobby PopViewtm, and you can decide whether you want hobby websites in your category to be able to present your site as a PopViewtm. See our Benefits For Business for more benefits just for your business.

Q. What is my earnings ratio?

You will earn PopViewstm at the rate of 1:2. Earn 1 PopViewtm for every 2 PopViewstm you show. You also receive 100 free PopViewstm when you join.

Q. What is not allowed to be a PopViewtm?

Websites that contain nudity, "adult content," copyright or trademark violations, promotion of hate or violence or illegal activity, or have links to such sites are prohibited.
Also, webpages with automatic alerts, pop ups, sounds, code to break out of the PopViewtm frame, or any code or method that artificially inflate PopViewtm counts cannot have PopViewtm code placed on them. For more on this, please see our Terms and Conditions.

Q. What is the TCFB Advertising Network Acceptance Policy?

Please see our Terms and Conditions.

Q. How can I track my TCFB Advertising Network traffic?

The TCFB Advertising Network offers an easy to read real-time private report as part of your free TCFB Intranet. See more about the intranet on our Benefits page. With this tool you can quickly track your traffic and update your information in real time..

Q. How often are my traffic statistics updated?

Your statistics are updated continuously in real time.

Q. How can I verify that my web page is being displayed?

In addition to the statistics on your free TCFB Intranet, you can check your website referrer log for reference to our website. Check with your website's hosting company or system administrator for information on how to do this.

Q. How do I quit the TCFB Advertising Network?

Simply remove the TCFB Advertising Network code from your pages.

Q. Where should I place the PopViewtm code on my site?

Place the code between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags on your pages.

Q. Do I get credit when the TCFB Advertising Network displays my page?

No, when your website is displayed as a PopViewtm, your credits are reduced by one.

Q. Will I have to remove the banners from my site?

No. However, no page whick contains TCFB Advertising Network PopViewtm code can contain any other pop-up or pop-under code.

Q. How soon will my web site be displayed on the network?

As soon as your website is approved, it will begin to be displayed on the network.

Q. How will I know when my site is approved?

When your website is approved, you will recieve an email message, and your "Member Is Active:" status on your ad network will change from Pending to True.

Q. Does my website earn credits before it is approved?

You will earn PopViewstm while your website is pending, and those PopViewstm will be used as soon as you are approved. This is an important reason to get the TCFB Advertising Network code on your web pages right away.

Q. If I change my URL, do I need to re-apply, or get re-approved?

You do not need to re-apply if you change the URL of your website. However, Changing the URL will change your website status back to Pending until the new URL can be reviewed and approved. You will continue to earn PopViewstm while your website is pending, and those PopViewstm will be used as soon as you are approved.

Q. Can I put the code on more than one page?

Yes, in fact it is a good idea, especially if you have visitors entering your site through many different pages (such as from a search engine). However, each visitor to your site will only see one PopViewtm when he or she leaves, and you will earn one credit for that visitor.

Q. Can I purchase more traffic from the TCFB Advertising Network ?
