In this section, we’ll discuss the 2nd method to qualify your panels – Banners Broker Sales Credits.
Let’s take an example of a yellow panel. From the previous lesson, you discovered that you need 5000 traffic hits to qualify a yellow panel.
If you have no money to buy a traffic pack or you simply don’t want to pay any money to qualify your panels, you can obtain sales credits to qualify your panels instead.
So how do you obtain banner broker
sales credits?
You obtain a sales credit by simply introducing someone else to Banners Broker through your affiliate link.
Let’s say you placed an advert online regarding the banners broker system or you told a friend about the banners broker system. Your friend then uses your affiliate link to sign up with banners broker. After that, he purchases a panel/package.
The moment he buys a panel(s), you will get sales credits.
How much sales credits do you get?
This depends on which panel he buys. If he buys the yellow and purple panels, you will get half the hits needed to qualify for the yellow panel and half the hits needed to qualify for the purple panel.
So, as you know, the yellow panel needs 5000 hits to qualify and the purple panel needs 15,000 hits to qualify. By introducing your friend who buys these two panels, you will get 2500 for the yellow panel he purchased and 7500 for the purple panel he purchased.
You will get exactly half the number of hits for any panel which he purchases.
You may have deduced by now that you can’t qualify a panel with just half the amount of hits needed.
That’s right! You need some more sales credits for those panels before they qualify.
In other words, you need 2 people who buy the yellow panel before you can use these sales credits to qualify your own yellow panel. Here is the math:
2 referrals = 2 sales credits. Each person buys a yellow panel (for example) and therefore each sale credit gives you 2500.
2 x 2500 = 5000 hits. You can now qualify your own yellow panel with the 5000 hits you obtained through two referrals (2 sales credits).
Of course, if one person buys 2 yellow panels by himself, that will also work in qualifying your own yellow panel.
Remember, sales credits can only be used for the same color that your referral has bought.
So if your friend bought a green panel, you would receive half the hits needed to qualify the green panel, which is 67,500 hits. Those hits will be held for you and you can only use them to qualify your own GREEN panel (once you have the full amount – 135,000). You can’t use them for any other color.
How can you tell how many sales credits you have received and for what colors?
If you look at the area above your panel, you will see a box like this:
It will give you a total traffic figure. It may show zero in your account under the total traffic figure. This figure shows the total number of hits you have available to qualify your panels. This includes hits purchased with traffic packs as well as hits accrued through referrals (sales credits).
If you hover your mouse above this box, it will expand and show you some more information. This is what you will see:
This expanded version breaks down the Total Traffic figure and distinguishes between the hits you have received via traffic packs and the hits you have received via sales credits.
The General Traffic figure shows the hits you have received via traffic packs.
The color banks on the right break down how many hits you have received via sales credits and also gives you a visual representation as to which colors those hits belong to.
So using the above information, I have half the number of hits available to qualify a yellow panel and I also have half the hits available to qualify a purple panel.
So as it stands, I can’t qualify either one because I only have half the hits available.
But if I refer some more people and they start buying yellow or purple panels, I will receive the rest of the credits needed to be able to kick start my own yellow and purple panels.
In your back office, if you go to Team >> Direct Referrals, you will see who you have referred and what panels they have bought (if any).
Now here’s some important information about traffic hits.
You already know that you need traffic hits to qualify panels. You also know that you can get these hits by purchasing traffic packs or by referring people and getting sales credits, which converts into half the hits needed.
There is a rule within banners broker which won’t allow you to keep qualifying the same color again and again after a certain point.
For example, you may be thinking that you will simply keep on buying yellows and disregard all the other colors since they pay out the quickest.
Well, this rule within banners broker will prevent you from doing that.
To understand how this rule works, look at figures underneath each of the colored panel tabs…
Ignore the rest of the panel. Just look at each of the figures under each of the colored tabs.
These figures represent how many hits you have available to apply to a panel of that color. For example, in this image, my allowance for the yellow panel is 25,000 hits. This means I can qualify 5 yellow panels (5000 hits needed to qualify one yellow panel). Every time I qualify a yellow panel, this figure will decrease by 5000. When it reaches zero, I wont be able to qualify any more yellow panels.
These allowance figures will be shown to you on your panels (like above) regardless of if you have traffic in your account or don’t. It’s just telling you how much traffic you can play with for a given colored panel.
So if the allowance keeps decreasing, how do you bring that allowance back up again, thereby allowing you to qualify more panels of that color?
If you have referred someone, this will of course make this number higher as now you have more allowance. But once you use that to qualify a panel, it will decrease again.
Take a look at this for example…
You can see that after referring someone who bought the yellow and purple panels, the traffic allowance figure rose by that same amount.
The yellow allowance rose from 25,000 to 27,500 (increase of 2500) and the purple panel allowance rose from 75,000 to 82,500 (increase of 7500) just from one person’s sales credit.
But the main method of increasing this allowance is to purchase and qualify a panel of the next highest color. If you purchase and qualify a panel of any color, banners broker will give you two times the regular allowance for the color directly under the panel you bought.
For example, let’s say you bought the blue panel and you went on to qualify it. As soon as you have qualified it, you will receive 2 x the qualification hits of the purple panel, which is the color directly underneath the blue.
The hits needed to qualify a purple panel is 7500. So banners broker will give you 7500 x 2 = 15,000 hits and place that in your purple panel allowance.
Do you see how banners broker has stopped people continuously qualifying the same panel again and again? They have put a limit on the hits used to qualify a panel and have restricted it. This restriction is the allowance you see under the colored panel tabs.
Your allowance will keep decreasing as you qualify panels but you can increase them again with sales credits (into that same color) or by buying and qualifying the panel directly above the one you need help with. This will give you twice the regular amount of traffic allowance for that panel.
Don’t worry about the black panel. It doesn’t fall under this rule.
This is everything you need to know about the banners broker sales credits system.
