Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
You can have your account up and running in less than 5 minutes. Simply create an account and confirm your email address by clicking on the confirmation link in the email you will receive. Then click on "create new ad" and follow the process which takes about three minutes to complete.
Once you paste the supplied javascript ad code into your site it will start displaying ads immediately, so from minute one you are earning credits for displaying ads. Each credit is an impression for your own advert, so the more credits you earn for clicks and views on your own site, the more your own ads will be shown.

How do I maximise the credits I receive.
You get 1 click credit every time someone clicks on an ad you disaply on your own website.
We strongly advise that you place the adblock code high up your page where people can see it and read it. Dumping it at the bottom of your pages, or only on low-traffic pages will mean less views and clicks. Just like with Google adsense, you can display 3 ad boxes per page of your site.

do you have a referral program?
Yes we do and it is one of the best around! For every member you refer you will receive an ongoing 25% of any click credits they earn. You will also receive an ongoing, unlimited, FIFTY PERCENT of any extra funds they add to their account to buy extra click credits. You can then either convert your referral cash to click credits to improve your own ad campaigns, or withdraw your referral funds as cash via paypal.

Can any website use cahoola?
If you can paste javascript code into your site and run it then yes you can. Inside the members area you will find a knowledgebase that contains information to help you get the code installed. Our code can be used with Wordpress (self-hosted only, not Wordpress.com blogs as adverts in those blogs are against their TOS), Blogger, Drupal, Joomla, Phpbb, Vbulletin, most other CMS and forum software and of course static html, shtml, asp and php files.

Will showing ads on my site take my visitors away?
No. You earn click credits every time someone clicks on an ad on your site, so the more clicks out you get, the more clicks in you will get. So the traffic in that respect will balance out AND the traffic in will be targeted traffic rather than random surfers. Also, when you click on one of our ads it opens the target page in a new browser window, so your visitor does not have to leave your site and in our testing over 94% of people did not leave the site but visited the link they clicked afterwards.

How easy is it, and how much does it cost to advertise on the cahoola site network?
Our rates are hugely competitive. Advertisers, or exchange members wishing to add extra click credits to their accounts, pay one low rate of $0.05 per click. You can allocate click credits from your account funds, so you are always in control of how much you are spending on your campaign. To start a campaign, set-up your ad variations (up to 5), purchase an AdPack using Paypal, and once your ads are authorised they will start appearing on our network in the categories you have chosen.
Advertisers ads also have a higher "weighting" to ensure that they are shown in preference to free users ads to maximise your views. Opening an account is free, so why not open one and have a look around?
