Q: HOW EXACTLY DOES YOUR
SERVICES WORKS?
A: It's actually
quite simple. A special code is
placed on each of our own sites
in our network so that when a
surfer visits that site, an
interstitial window is opened
behind the main window.
What is an
interstitial? "Interstitial" is
the technical term for a window
that opens while a surfer is in
the process of viewing another
page. The most popular form of
interstitial is commonly known
as the "pop-up."
However, unlike
the typically annoying pop-up
windows, our HITS technology
enables the window to load
behind the current page,
which is far less obtrusive. The
visitor can still surf the
original site without
interruption, viewing the
HIT-generated site after
minimizing or closing the
current window, or by clicking
on the task bar.
In addition, the
HIT page is much more likely to
fully load (unlike many pop-ups
which are closed immediately).
Because of this fact, as well as
its unobtrusive nature, this
form of interstitial is more
effective at generating sales
and registrations than
traditional pop-ups or exits.
WANT TO
SEE AN EXAMPLE?
- Please take a
look at your taskbar now -
You probably
didn't even notice, but an
example HIT page has already
been generated behind this one.
Take a moment to browse through
it, than simply click on this
window in your taskbar to return
to this page.
To see the example again, close
the other window and then
refresh this page.
Simple, yet
effective!
Q: HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET
MY HITS?
A:
All submissions
are manually reviewed for
content and ad guidelines before
being entered into the system
and queued. Assuming there are
no problems with the submitted
page, you can expect to start
receiving traffic in about 2 to
3 business days (depending on
current volume levels).
Q: DO YOU HAVE ANY RESTRICTIONS
ON THE CONTENT OF MY SITE?
A:
To protect the
quality and integrity of our
network sites, we do not accept
ads that contain, provide, or
link to:
-illegal drugs or
paraphernalia content
-hate speech or
hate graphics content
-content
promoting or facilitating
illegal or legally questionable
activities (e.g., pirating,
hacking, spamming, etc.)
-profane content
Q: WHAT OTHER TYPE OF
RESTRICTIONS IS THERE?
A: In addition to
the above content guidelines,
the following restrictions apply
to all HIT Program ads or pages:
- may not contain
additional pop-ups on the main
landing page
- may not contain
a forced redirection (except
tracking codes)
- may not contain
any sound files played
automatically
- may not contain
viruses or other disruptive
software or coding
Q: HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS QUALITY
TRAFFIC?
A: Each of the
more than 4,000 sites in our
networks is individually
reviewed for quality content and
professionalism before they are
eligible for acceptance. They
range from small-medium size
sites to very large sites with
significant amounts of existing
traffic.
Q: WHAT IS
MEANT BY A "UNIQUE VISITOR"?
A: A unique
visitor is an actual person
visiting your web site. This is
usually based on a 24 hour time
period. So if a person visits
your site, leaves and comes back
one hour later, this would still
count as just one unique
visitor.
Q: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO
RECEIVE ALL OF THE VISITORS I’VE
PURCHASED?
A:
Campaign length will vary by
current traffic levels within
our network sites and categories
chosen. For smaller traffic
volumes, this can sometimes be a
matter of days. Unless otherwise
notified on very large orders,
all traffic is guaranteed to be
delivered within 30 days of
start.
Q: WHAT PAGE OF MY SITE SHOULD I
SEND THE VISITORS TO –MY
HOMEPAGE?
A: That depends.
What is your desired result from
the campaign and how well does
your home page "sell" it? For
advertising sales strategies
(and some branding campaigns),
the homepage is often best.
For increasing
sales, leads or registrations,
unless your home page does a
great job of grabbing a visitors
attention and then really
"selling" your specific
objective, we would recommend
you consider creating a full
page ad or a special offer page
that effectively catches the eye
and then specifically motivates
visitors to take the action you
desire.
Remember,
although these visitors are
category targeted and therefore
somewhat pre-qualified, this is
not like search engine traffic
(otherwise we'd have to charge
you 30 to 100 times as much for
that!), and the visitors will
not have specifically chosen to
go to your site looking for what
it offers.
Always give your
visitors a compelling
reason to 1) stay on your site,
and 2) take the desired action.
Q: CAN I USE YOUR SERVICES TO
PROMOTE AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM?
A: Absolutely.
This is a great way to take
advantage of the power of our
HIT Program even if you don't
have a web site of your own (see
the question below). All types
of affiliate link codes can be
used with our system, so long as
the advertised site meets all
eligibility requirements.
Q: DO I NEED TO HAVE A WEB SITE
TO USE YOUR SERVICES?
A: Actually, no.
There are a number of sites that
will pay you sales commissions
for referring visitors to them.
These arrangements are known as
Affiliate Programs.
When joining an
affiliate program, you are given
a special tracking link with
which to promote that site. If
you use this link with our HIT
Program and a visitor makes a
purchase at that site, you would
receive a commission. We have
seen this method generate up to
a 300% return on the advertising
investment.
(Note: Be sure to
read the Terms and Conditions
and payment information for any
affiliate program you join to
make sure you are in compliance.

Q: WHY WOULD I WANT TO BECOME A
TOP 500 WEB PROPERTY?
A: Big sites want
to do business with other big
sites. There are hundreds of
companies and investment firms
that watch the monthly rankings
looking for potential
partnerships, acquisitions and
investment opportunities. When
you reach the Top 500, or even
the Top 1,000, people will
notice and they will contact you
to pursue opportunities to do
business.
A good ranking
can also have a significant
impact on your company's
valuation. If you are looking to
raise capital or to sell your
site, being highly ranked could
prove to be of critical
importance.
So what will it
take to get there? The precise
amount varies, but usually about
2 million visitors per month
will put you in the Top 500.
There are companies that spend
literally millions of dollars to
obtain and keep a Top 500
ranking. Now you can reach the
same pinnacle within 1-2 months,
but at a cost of under $5,000!
This is truly an
amazingly powerful concept!
Q: DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO
PREPARE FOR THE TRAFFIC?
A: When
purchasing large quantities of
visitors, it is always advisable
to check with your web host to
ensure they are prepared to
handle that volume of traffic.
AHits.com is not responsible for
server problems or overages for
advertised sites.
Q: DO YOU GUARANTEE SALES OR
SIGN UPS ON MY SITE?
A: No! We will
get your site in front of the
numbers of visitors that you
ordered, BUT UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE GUARANTEE
THAT THEY WILL BUY OR SIGN UP
FOR ANTYTHING. A good thing to
know is that using our services
gives your site EXPOSURE.
Results can always come in a
later time, as a lot of visitors
save the site information they
visited in there favorites.
