Q. What is meant by raw and unique clicks?
A. All banner requests to our adservers are recorded and counted as raw impressions. But unique impressions are counted only once per visitor within a 24 hour period. The same logic is applied for click throughs. For example; A person visits your web site and clicks on one of our banners, then later clicks on the same banner. The adserver will record the first click for that visitor but not the second click.

Q. Are there any reasons why my web site would NOT be accepted as a host?
A. Yes. Our advertisers are only interested in having their banners shown on quality web sites. Which means, if your web site doesn't carry any discernable content. Then your web site won't be accepted into the network. Web sites that only carry banners and nothing else will NOT be accepted into our network.
