There are currently two options for participation. TheAdMill's link exchange software is built to provide webmasters a user friendly and simple solution that requires only a few steps to accomplish a link
exchange with another member on our directory. Users log in to their account, create a campaign, and drop code on their site. Once the code is in place
TheAdMill staff will validate your site and approve your site to start receiving traffic. A link exchange is a group of websites that operate similarly to a web ring. Website owners and webmasters register their web sites with a central organization also known as a link exchange directory, such as The Ad Mill, and in turn receive HTML code which the webmaster will insert into their web pages. Once you complete the steps required to sign up, activate, and sign in you will be able to add your site to the exchange which will provide you with code
to add to your site. When that code is present you will then be eligible to participate in the exchange. As your site delivers links for other users your
credit balance will increase. Any campaign with a balance greater than 50 will also be receiving impressions and clicks from within the network.
In Beta the ranking is not currently active. Sites with a balance greater than 50 credits rotate randomly through the exchange. Sites with a balance less than 50 will display once their balance has increased as outlined in the "How do I exchange links" section above. Simple rules, breaking these rules will get your link rejected and possibly result in a ban: Be sure to reference the forum for updated information.
Links delivered across the exchange are follow links and will be indexed by Search Engines. We currently display only three links per delivery to avoid having too high of an inbound/outbound link ratio.
There is no limit on the number of sites you can add to the exchange. Each site will have its own campaign but there is no limit on the number of campaigns you can have within your account.
Yes, root and sub domains are suppported. You can even include links to yourname.wordpress.org if you would like. Currently only English is supported. This can be GB English, US English, AU English, etc. Once signed in to the dashboard click "View Campaign(s)" and click the title of the site you would like to edit or remove. From there you edit the site information or remove it from the exchange. You can view your sites performance by signing in to the dashboard and clicking "Campaign Stats". Impressions are the number of times your link has been shown. Clicks are the number of times your link has been clicked. Balance is the credits you have available to spend on getting your link shown, and clicked, on other sites. You can use the forum to plead your case in front of the community. Chances are, if you have to appeal, there is a good reason for rejected the site or banning your account. Give it a try though, we will let the community decide.
