FAQ » Ad Marketplace

What is the marketplace?
The marketplace is a platform to help you sell ad space. It is exactly what it sounds like, a marketplace of blog ads for sale that advertisers can browse through and find good blogs to advertise on.

How can the marketplace help me?
The marketplace can help you because it provides a platform to help maximize advertising reach (and revenue) while helping with your blogs monetization efforts.

What are the marketplace submission criteria?
Currently, in order to submit a site to the marketplace, OIOpublisher must be installed on the same sub-domain (eg. blog.mydomain.com) as the blog or website you intend to use the script with. We will be updating the submission procedure to relax these criteria in due course.

Why doesn't my listing appear immediately?
All new submissions must be approved before they appear in the Marketplace. This is to ensure no poor quality or spam listings are entered. Approval may take up to 24 hours.

FAQ » Affiliate Program

I want to sell OIOpublisher, is there any way to do that?
Absolutely! You can become an OIOpublisher affiliate by signing up here and receive up to 70% of any sales (minimum of 50%) that you drive through your affiliate links or banners.

Can I sell OIOpublisher without purchasing it?
Yes, you can. All you need to do is sign up for a free OIOpublisher account and you will have access to a referral area containing banners, resources and your referral code.

How do I increase my commission level above 50%?
If you drive 5 or more sales in a calendar month, you will earn 60% commission for all the sales you make in the next month. If you drive 10 or more sales, the level will increase to 70% during the next month.

How can I be sure sales will be credited to me?
As well as standard affiliate cookie tracking when someone clicks on your affiliate link, we also provide a "custom coupon" option. If someone uses your unique coupon, the sale will automatically be credited to your account.

How do affiliate coupons work?
On the 1st of every month, a new coupon code is generated for all affiliates. You can then customise the code to make it unique to your account. As well as letting you offer users a discount, which varies between $5 and $10 per month, it also makes sure the sale is credited to you.

When will I be paid for the sales I drive?
Payments are made once a week (usually on a Sunday). There is a 2 week "maturity period" before an affiliate is eligible to receive commission on a sale, to protect against fraud.
