Improve your link popularity, rankings & traffic

FICGS cooperative advertising network is a network of site owners that offer, buy or sell ad space to the network, it combines the benefits of contextual advertising, relevant exchange of non-reciprocal links and text link brokers. In example if you offer or buy 100 text link ads to the network, you get 100 non-reciprocal text link ads across the network, actually in as many relevant websites as possible, so up to 100 different websites.

Based on a formula that defines the importance of your pages (taking account of the position of ads, traffic and Google PageRank, typically the weight of a page is worth 5 ^ PageRank), the more value & ad space you offer or buy to the network, the more weight & impressions you will get across the network.


How to use it : First you may write your text link ads, it is recommended to create as many text link ads as possible, if possible linking to different pages of your website, using different keywords as titles and different words around your links. You may jump one or two lines (without effect) after each ad. After having submitted your site keywords below your site url, you may use the button above the ads text area to generate HTML code. Second, you have to place and rename as specified the PHP code in your webpages or to buy credits and specify the amount you want to consume per day, then your weight will increase and your ads will appear (after being validated) in as many relevant websites as possible.

F.A.Q.

Where to discuss the coop network ?

You can discuss anything about the network in the coop ad network forum.

Are all websites accepted in the network ?

Please read FICGS terms & conditions. All websites are verified, only relevant links will be displayed on your website. Links to accepted gambling, pharmaceutical or adult websites will appear in relevant websites only. Moderators preserve the right to refuse any potential advertiser or participant without the reason.

What are weight and total weight ?

Your weight in the network is basically the number of text link ads PR 0 that you provide to the network, however some links are worth more than others according to the traffic, the place of the ads and Google PageRank of your pages. Your total weight is basically the number of text link ads PR 0 you get from the network, it also takes account of the weight bought or sold to the network and bonus if there's one.

I did not find a sub-category for my website, what should I do ?

Please choose the category that fits it most. You may ask for a new sub-category in the coop ad network forum.

How to enter several categories for my website ?

You may create several accounts for one website (one by category), however you cannot display the PHP code of different accounts on the same pages (your total points would be cancelled).

Can I combine FICGS coop ad network with Google AdSense ?

Yes, you can combine FICGS coop ad network with any other advertising sponsor. Links displayed by our code are seen as regular direct links to other sites.

Can I use the system if my website has just few pages ?

Yes, particularly if the Google PageRank of your pages is not null, however the more pages, the more weight your site will get.

Do I have to install the code on my homepage ?

Your homepage may give you more weight than most of your pages, however it is your choice only.

Can I use different publisher codes on the same pages ?

Using different coop publisher codes (with several $coop_ad_network_id) on the same pages of your site would be obvious cheating. By doing this you would lose your weight in the network.

Is "weight cost" the current price of weight ?

No, it is the price calculated for the previous (current) day. The weight cost is recalculated daily taking account of the total weight sold and the total credits consumed per day, including yours.

Shouldn't the weight value be different according to categories ?

True, it will be implemented as soon as the network is big enough to stabilize the weight value for each category and sub-category.

What do I need to buy credits or to cashout my income ?

You just need an email at Paypal or Moneybookers.

How to buy credits ?

Please use Paypal or Moneybookers to send us money. When you send us money, please also send an message to the following email specifying the amount, your username and your website's coop id : xxxxxxxxxx. Our email account at Paypal and Moneybookers is given to registered members only.

Is it possible to connect to the interface via SSL ?

You may use the SSL login form by clicking the padlock icon near the login form.

Is there a referral system ?

Yes, a bonus weight is calculated daily based upon the traffic from (and the importance of) the affiliate page that contains your affiliate link.
