Can I have more than one account?
All members are permitted only one account. Individuals living in one household cannot all signup. Only one account per ip permitted.

How does allocating credits work?
Credits that you earn, buy or win as bonuses are allocated to your account but not to your sites. You must allocate them to your site for them to be used and your sites shown. Click the edit arrow on the account credits line to allocate them. On the allocate screen, enter quantities you want for each site, up to the total available on your account. Click allocate to store the changes and you are done. To ensure that we have a continuous supply of sites to display, we may automatically allocate credits from your account to your sites. If you have active sites with no credits, we may allocate a proportion of your account credits to them. You can prevent that by ensuring your sites always have some credits, or by putting a site on hold. You cannot remove credits from sites or move them between sites. You may change the URL of a site at any time to use up credits. Do not delete a site with credits or you will lose them. You can stop a site from being displayed or from receiving automatically allocated credits by putting it on hold (click edit arrow next to the site). If you delete a site, you will lose its credits. Instead, change the URL; even to a site that you already have listed.

Why do I get logged out?
If you are logged out while surfing, it may have been caused by a site that breaks out of our surf-bar frame. These sites are banned but could be loaded from another site. Please report any such event to us either from your surfbar or email, if you can so we may remove it. To protect your account and our servers, your login will automatically expire after a period of inactivity. Also make sure that your PC is allowing javascript and our temporary session cookie. You should also clear your cache periodically. In your browser, click tools, options and click delete files under cache or temporary internet files, depending on your browser. In some browsers you can also select to delete all offline content, if so press link and click OK. This could take some time if it is not done regularly. We have a few reports that clicking for a bonus will sometimes produce a blank page (with Internet Explorer 6 only). The bonus is actually added to your account and hitting the Refresh button resumes surfing. Being taken to the login page means something has caused your browser to close our session cookie. This could be: Your firewall or cookie (Privacy) settings Running the A.P.E. (auto page exchange) in more than one window Opening our links in a new window Our server being temporarily down or overloaded A long period without key or mouse activity. Also try both http://yoursite.com and http://www.yoursite.com. If you are using MS Internet Explorer, try the free Firefox browser at http://getfirefox.com. It will also avoid the window that confirms leaving the surf bar or try AMbrowser.com

Why is my site Suspended?
The reason(s) your site is suspended may be it breaks out of our surf bar frame, produces alert boxes, or contains unacceptable content or scripts or leads to phishing sites. Our rules are simple. If you break our rules deliberately - with bad sites, wars games, adult sites, sites that disrupt surfing or try to download anything, etc, you will have a ban for this site. Sites must be legal and family-safe. We do not permit popup's, rotators, redirects, bad, adult or offensive sites, or any site that disrupts surfing. We will not respond to emails about suspended sites or accounts. It is your responsibility to follow our easy rules.

What does CPH mean?
Upgraded Members can use the credits per hour (CPH) setting to restrict the number of times a site can be displayed in an hour, although it is usually not required. You can change the CPH by clicking the edit arrow behind the name of the site

Why is my site not being shown?
The selection of sites displayed to our members on the Ads Page Exchange page is randomly picked out of the many eligible sites in our database. Things to check: 1. Make sure you have allocated credits to your sites 2. Ensure your sites are not waiting, suspended or on_hold 3. If you have set a CPH, do not set it too low as it restricts the number of times a site can be shown in any hour. Usually it is better left at zero meaning it is off. 4. If you have only one site, try adding it several times to increase the chances of it being picked. The Stats at your site may not show our hits because they all come from the same IP address (ours) or because our timer may be too short to register.

Why does the surfing stop?
There could be a server or connection problem or slowdown, but most likely, a frame-breaking site has removed our advertising pages exchange surf-bar frame. When you watch the screen while you earn your free advertising and/or money (and you should), you may be able to continue surfing by clicking your Back button a few times, or the Refresh/Reload button if the screen is completely blank. These sites are banned but some are loaded from other sites (called redirects). We remove those when we find them.
