Then when you have credits available, other members will be able to view YOUR website when they click "Surf Now".

NEW! NO sites "Under Construction" - we cannot approve what we cannot see; we cannot approve sites based on "what is to come", we must approve sites based on live content in order to see that they follow our guidelines

WAHM-Trade is a "business" building and promotion service. It is for its members to promote their businesses whether considered home-based or large, offering products or services. It is for business owners to gain traffic, exposure and potential customers for their businesses. Therefore only business-related sites will be allowed into the rotation. WAHM-Trade is not a "personal or social site". Networking sites are allowed providing they offer support to WAHMs or other business owners.
Multiple submissions of the exact same URL and/or content are not allowed by the SAME person. You may submit a single URL for a specific page of a site once. You may also submit multiple URLs from that same site as long as they are for other pages on the site, ie: the home page, product pages, links page, etc. all from the same website.
Multiple submissions of the exact same URL are not allowed by DIFFERENT members. If you are an upline leader and have a particular product or service you would like your team to promote, you MAY have each downline member join WAHM-Trade as individuals. **** They may then all promote the same product ONLY USING THEIR OWN UNIQUE AFFILIATE URL. **** In other words, each member may submit their own site that is of the same product the team is promoting but they must have their own individual affiliate version of the product or service's website to promote. The ONLY exception to this would be if everyone is promoting something publicly like a charity or non-profit and is not receiving any compensation from that organization at all and therefore no affiliate-type URL is needed.
**Specifics Regarding Adult Content Sites: Discreet intimate/bedroom product sites are NO LONGER allowed. => NO sites that have links on the home page or page being displayed to adult-only sites of any kind, porn sites, illegal activity sites of any kind are permitted => NO sites that have pictures of adult products or activities on the home page or page being displayed are permitted => NO sites that have any form of nudity whether a photo, illustration or logo are permitted => NO sites that have writing/text/words/verbage regarding any of the above mentioned topics => NO banner ads, text ads, tracker links or any other means of promotion via the tools & services provided to our membership containing or referring to any of the aforementioned adult content guidelines either
WAHM-Trade exists to promote websites of legitimate businesses, products and services only.
Typically our members promote online businesses, businesses tools and business events. Members are encouraged to contact Support whenever uncertainty arises as to whether or not a site will be approved. And Support will be happy to pre-check the site for the members.
*These regulations are subject to change as needed.
You never see your own website or banners, as that is built into our exchange. The reason is, you wouldn't want to waste your own credits viewing your own sites and banners - therefore only other members will see your sites, banners and text ads.
The cost to be a sponsor in our newsletter is listed under each ad in the Informer. The cost varies depending on the type and location of ad. There is a Contact button you can click to inquire about the availability of ad space. You will be emailed a PayPal invoice if you choose to purchase newsletter ad spots.
We also have solo ads available for only $9.99 - which is your solo ad sent out to every member in our exchange. Just click on the "Solo Emails" button in your members area to purchase one!
When you login to your members area, click on the "My Banners" button in the tools area to get started. Then click on the "Add New" button and an area should show up underneath the button when you click it to add your information.
Put in a description of the banner (only used for you to identify it), then the URL to the banner, the Destination URL (where you want people to go when you click on the banner), then make sure the correct size is selected (a standard size banner is 468x60 in size), then click the green "S" to save your new banner.
It should then show up in your list of banners, however it will not be shown in the exchange until it is approved by me.
Like most Traffic exchange programs we have strict rules to protect our members from cheating. The program employs methods to detect cheating and will suspend any accounts that fail to abide by our rules.
