What are the real benefits of advertising using the Bid for Position™ system on Win4Win.com?
With the Bid For Position™ methodology, search results are ranked based upon an open bidding system, where each advertiser can decide on the amount of traffic required. A higher clickthrough fee moves the advert to be closer to the top of the search results. Advertisers are only charged for the actual traffic, which come to their site.

From experience adverts in position 1 receive 5 times more clickthroughs than in position 5, illustrating the importance of being at the top of search engine results.

The other major benefit is that the advertiser can use our Bid for Position™ system to test market response to new concepts, new products, new web ideas etc before spending a huge amount of money on a major advertising campaign. By using our Bid for Position™ system, the advertiser can test different ideas by raising his bid to position #1 for more traffic, just for the day and then revert back to a lower bid to rework the idea until the desired results are achieved.

What does it cost to open a bidding account?
The account itself costs nothing, and there is no set-up fee. It takes only a few minutes to fill out a form on our fully secure server. You do have to put a minimum of $25 into your account to activate it, which is non-refundable, and is used toward your first batch of clickthroughs based on keywords you select during sign-up. Any amount deposited over $25 is fully refundable should you choose to cancel your account at any time, for any reason.

How does the bid system work?
Additional information is provided for advertisers once you have an activated account. In our Bid for Position™ system you choose search terms that are RELEVANT to the services that you are offering, and fill out an online form for each web site and the search terms you've chosen, along with the bid amount for that search term/phrase. Within 72 hours, your listing will then appear at the level you've bid upon. If you bid a higher amount than the existing listing at a certain position (such as #1), your site will now hold that position.

Bids may be changed online and will reflect immediately.

What terms can I choose?
You can select any phrase or keyword that is relevant to your site/company service or product offerings. You cannot bid on keywords or phrases that are unrelated to your site (such as "game fishing California" if you offer game fishing in Brazil). There is no limit to the number of search terms you can bid on.

I am a search engine can I submit terms to Win4Win.com?
Any advertiser that can be classified as a directory service, portal, search engine or something other than a destination site will be considered an aggregator. Aggregators will be accepted only if their content is relevant to the keyword or topic site chosen, i.e. search engines will be allowed to purchase keywords such as "search," "web search" and "search engine" but not words and sites that do not directly relate to the primary function of the advertiser site.

How do I control my budget?
Because your bidding account is based on you making a deposit, you will be notified when your deposit will cover 4 days of clickthroughs, (based on your average clickthrough rate.) This allows YOU to control your budget. Example: if you budget $500 per month for keyword marketing, you could simply put $500 in your account each month, and when it's used up, your keywords drop to "0". Of course, it's always a nice problem to have if your budget is used up early, because you've received loads of new consumers to your site directly from your Win4Win.com listing! With such success you'd probably want to increase your Win4Win.com marketing budget.

How can I use the money I have earned from Win4Win.com?
As an advertiser or affiliate, you will be given two accounts when you sign up at Win4Win.com. One for our "refer and earn" program and the other your advertising account which holds both your credits for hosting the Win4Win.com search engine and your clickthrough charges. Whenever your "refer and earn" account exceeds $100, you can request a payment and we will send you a check or you can instruct us to transfer the balance every month to your advertising account.

As a "surf partner" you will be given one account for our "refer and earn" program. When your balance exceeds $100 you can request a payment and we will send you a check -- No FUSS!

What happens if someone keeps clicking on my listing?
Win4Win.com uses a number of methods to ensure that all clicks that are reported to our advertisers are genuine. For security reasons, we do not disclose details of this protection methodology nor do we give visual or system clues that click protection is active. Rest assured that "invalid clicking" is one of the most important issues at Win4Win.com. We realize that it is mandatory to ensure the integrity of our marketplace.

As a "Web Surfer" why can't I get paid for clicking to sites like on other programs?
For one, we do not think this is moral. Win4Win.com's sole purpose is to offer a quick and easy way for "Web Surfers" to find what they are looking for and for advertisers to attract consumers that are interested in using their services and products. We have proven that advertisers do not wish to waste precious dollars on "clicks" that have been done merely to generate revenue for the consumer. In this case no one wins. Eventually advertisers will move off to a medium that provides better value for money and the whole system collapses.
