REAL-TIME LEADS

I placed my order, when can I expect to begin receiving my leads?

We have found the best day to initiate campaigns Mondays. All orders received by Friday at midnight EST will be included in the campaign beginning the following Monday.<back>

How long does it take complete my order once I begin receiving leads?

Typically your complete order will fill in 7 days, however depending on the market conditions and holidays, it can take up to 14 days. <back>

If I receive a bad lead, what is your replacement policy?

When dealing with real-time leads, each optin is verified by email prior to getting a letter about your opportunity. Since we can only verify the email address, there will be some instances where a person has entered a wrong number either intentionally or by mistake. If you receive a lead with bad contact information, simply send the lead information to us utilizing the "Contact Us" form.

We will verify the bad lead information and enter you in the system for a replacement. <back>

 I contacted a lead I received and they say they have no idea what I'm talking about and say they have never seen my ad?

As discussed in the replacement policy, since we verify the email information as the lead is generated, there are some situation, that a person could enter the contact information, i.e. name and phone number of someone else. We cannot control this, however, we can replace the lead if it does happen. If you receive a lead with bad contact information, simply send the lead information to us utilizing the "Contact Us" form.

We will verify the bad lead information and enter you in the system for a replacement. <back>

 I have noticed the same contact delivered to me more than once, why is that and does it count against my order?

No, it does not count against your order.

When a person opts in from any of our advertising, a check of the system is done to see if that person has opted in previously....if so, the person is sent back to the site of the user they originally opted into. <back>

 Will Priority paid inclusion services improve my search position ranking?

On some engines yes, due to their directory structure. However no preferential treatment is given to other customers as all results are ranked according to their relevancy to any given search query. This is where the re-indexing of your website every 48 hours is of major benefit, as you are able to fine tune your page to improve your search engine position and relevancy.<back>

I have submitted my site but cannot find it on the search engines?

• Ensure that your site is fully operational. Here are some tips:
• Your page should not generate error messages such as "File not Found", "Internal Server Error".
• Your page must not require a username, password, cookie or other authentication in order to access it.
• Your page must not REDIRECT to another page.
• Most Search Enagines do not spider pages hosted on a secure server (i.e., https://)
• Check that your robots.txt file does not prohibit the spider from spidering the page
• The web page must contain text in the HTML, not graphics only.

Once you have addressed any problems and your site is operational, all Search Engines re-spider to include your page within 48 hours to 1 week. So you are guaranteed that your site is always included for the entire subscription period.<back>

 What is the difference between the free Add URL services at partner sites such as HotBot and the Priority Inclusion service?

The Priority Listing service is a PREMIUM and EXPRESS listing service as provided by each Search Engine. Each Search Engine provides specific benefits for their paid inclusion services, such as:

• Express 48 Hour inclusion into AltaVista, Inktomi, Slider and whatUseek.
• Rapid 5 day inclusion into the LookSmart (UK, FR, JP) and WebWombat index.
• Your URL will be refreshed every 48 hours to weekly for a 6 to 12 month period.
• Guaranteed inclusion and higher placement on some Engines.
• Weekly comprehensive click through and keyword reports to monitor your listing's performance.
• Ranking reports to monitor your listing's search engine placement and positioning.
• Whereas sites submitted through the free submission sections:
• Are NOT guaranteed inclusion. Many pages submitted for free are purely ignored and never indexed, due to the high volumes of such submissions made on a daily basis.
• Inclusion usually takes between 2 to 6 months, if at all.
• Once included your pages are spidered only during periodical updates (usually once a month to every 2 months).
• No click through, keyword or ranking reports<back>

Are there any restrictions on what I may submit?

• All sites submitted must follow the Submission Policy, Terms of Service and Content Policy as set down by each Search Portal. <back>
