Hello again! Holidays are over and thankfully this time I have some exciting updates!
Let's see what's up..
1. Tracked ClicksThe click tracking system has been working nicely since the beginning of the month and the script is finally ready to show you how your ads are actually performing on our site. To view how many clicks your ads have received you will need your
Order ID and personal
Pin Code (it's included in your order's confirmation email).
To take a look at your ad details and view the clicks it has received you can use our brand new
PTCBox.Me Ads Manager!
In case you have lost your confirmation email you can get your Pin Code resent to your email using
this form.
2. Editing Ads and Featured LinksEditing your ad has become a lot easier for both advertisers and us also using our
PTCBox.Me Ads Manager!
After loading your ad details, a link below the main table allows you to easily perform changes, provided that your ad is not expired. After performing changes you can click on "Submit Updates" button and we get notified. We will then manually check and approve the changes before they get activated.
3. Mailing server issues and delays -> Please read the following posts for an update
I am aware of a problem with our mailing server and I have contacted our host to figure out a solution. It seems that our automated emails take a bit too long (sometimes hours) to be delivered lately and sometimes they fail.
4. Slight drop in the incoming trafficWe are always on the look for new stable traffic sources since this industry is very unstable, and keep on adding more sources to achieve our 10.000 daily goal. Recently Probux disabled PayPal payments, which is the way we pay them for traffic and we are currently unable to renew our campaign there. This has caused a big drop on our daily traffic but we are doing our best to fill that blank with new sources until they offer PayPal again.
5. A weird bug has been fixedToday I noticed a bug that has been there since PTCBox.Me Ads V.2 was launched. It seems that everyone who has advertised on our Page ever since has benefited by receiving a free additional day of advertising due no matter what he ordered.
Therefore all 7 Days packs sold, actually delivered 8 Days of advertising, 15 Days pack delivered 16 Days of advertising etc. That is mainly because an ad starts at 00:00 of the starting date and stays online until 23:59 of the ending date.
This bug has now been fixed and from now on packs sold will deliver what is ordered, except for the monthly packs (months with 31 days deliver 31 days of advertising instead of 30, that's normal and planned since the beginning).
We felt kinda sorry to fix this bug.. but unfortunately it had to be corrected..
