Panels

Panels

This is where you see your business generate revenue, it is the main part of your business with Banners Broker. As we mentioned previously, Panels are the visual representation of your rented advertising space on publisher sites.

 

Before we start, this is the main area of the business, it is a little complicated, this section is a bit long, however it is very important that you understand how panels work. Go through this section a few times so you are comfortable with the concepts being explained here.

 

Let’s get started…

 

When you purchase a package, you purchase panels. Depending on which package you purchased will depend on which panels you have available to start generating revenue.

Banners Brokers displays your panels in the following colours, from Yellow to Black:

Panels are Advertising spaces that you have purchased/rented on publisher websites. The panels you purchase increase by the corresponding amount, now you will see that if you purchased the Ultimate Package, how much revenue potential you will have. The advertising placement is something that Banners Broker take care of, this happens behind the scenes. Below you will see an example of one of our Green and a Red panels.

There are two types of panels, complimentary panels for when you first join Banners Broker and panels that you re-purchase/purchase and need to apply traffic to.
Firstly, let’s discuss Complementary Panels:
You purchased a package (see previous section on Packages). Each package contains panels from yellow to black (if you purchased a black package, you have all colors up to, and including, black. If you purchased a red package you have all colors up to, and including, red, and so on).
Complimentary panels are the first two rounds of panels that you get when you join Banners Broker, these complimentary panels already qualified for you - that is what you get when you join Banners Broker. You redeemed your package (as we explained in the previous section Packages) You then need go into each panel Yellow, Purple, Blue, Red and Black (if you have all colors) and selected get impressions. When you select Get Impressions (see image below), these impressions will be added to your impression bank for you to use for advertising your own website, see our Campaign section for more detail

Your complimentary panels (all colours) will be defaulted to re-purchase at 100% re-purchase, this means that when a particular panel reaches its traffic cap, it will generate two new panels of the same colour. We recommend that you leave this setting as the next two panels will also be complimentary, therefore you are maximizing the benefit of your complmentary panles. Once your first complimentary panels have reached their traffic cap, then you change the re-purchase setting to 50%. What you are doing here is maximising the benefit of your complimentary panels getting. With the re-purchase setting at 50%,when that panel reaches its traffic cap, it will purchase one new panel of the same colour and the remainder will be credited to your e-wallet for you to withdraw.

Just to re-cap, the general rule with complimentary panels: when a panel says COMP 1, leave the re-purchase at 100%, when it says COMP 2 set the re-purchase setting to 50%. This is only if you do not want to keep re-purchasing additional panels, if you leave the re-purchase setting at 100%, they will automatically re-purchase and not send any funds back into your eWallet, you will then have to fund your eWallet to purchase Traffic Packs or obtain Sales Credits (discussed in detail below).

Below you will an example of a COMP 2 panel. Notice the Get Impressions button. Click on that to get your impressions.

You will be asked are you sure, select ok. (You can then see these impressions in your Impression Bank)

You will see that the Get Impressions box has disappeared and your impressions are ready for you to use. We will go through using these impressions later in the Campaign section
When your panel reaches its traffic cap, you will see it displayed as below. Note that the re-purchase setting of 100% and two new panel codes have been created.

How much revenue will the Ultimate Package generate?

The two tables below give a high level view of the revenue generation from your initial package purchase. We say "high level" because in reality if you had your re-purchase setting to 100% on your COMP 1 panels, which generates your COMP 2 panels (now set to re-purchase at 50%) once they started to pay money into your eWallet, you would probably purchase traffic packs to qualify those panels (or use sales credits) and this would have generated even more revenue. We have deliberately kept the example simple to illustrate the revenue that is generated by simply doing nothing.

COMP 1 Panels

COMP 2 Panels

Note: The table above is for illustration purposes only, the times may vary.

In this example (the doing nothing example), your total revenue was $14,440.00. Remember, the Ultimate Package included all panels from yellow to black and cost $3,655.00 to purchase.

Panel completion times can vary, depending on how many hits your panels get. Below you will see some rough timing for panel completion:
Yellow: 15-30 days
Purple: 4- 6 weeks
Blue: 8 – 10 weeks
Green: 3 – 4 months
Red: 5-6 months (shorter with a traffic booster)
Black: 7-8 months (shorter with a traffic booster)
Note we mention traffic boosters above. We’ll discuss traffic boosters (basically a way to speed up your panels) in our traffic boosters section, but for now, you can see roughly how long it would take for each colored panel to pay out.
Qualifying Panels:
We have explained that the first two rounds of panels are complimentary with Banners Broker. When your complimentary panels (round two) have reached their traffic cap, therefore you will have two of each colour panels (remember you changed the re-purchase setting to 50%). These new panels are no longer complimentary and they need to be qualified. The 50% of the revenue that was not re-purchased will be transferred back to your eWallet for you to keep, or purchase more panels, or purchase traffic packs (we will discuss these below).

There are three different ways you can qualify a panel. We will take you through each method of qualifiying panels now:

1. Purchasing a traffic pack(s)
2. Obtain sales credits
3. Send organic traffic to the publisher’s website

1.     Purchasing traffic pack(s)
On the Banners Broker site go to Purchase >>Traffic packs

A traffic pack consists of targeted visitors that will be sent to your advertising banners on publishers sites, thus generating revenue.
As you can see from the image below, one traffic pack costs $50.00. When you purchase a traffic pack you get 100,000 traffic hits can you can apply to your panels. The 100,000 is made up of 50,000 targeted hits plus another 50,000 bonus targeted hits.

Below you will see how amny hits are required of each different colored panel.

To qualify a yellow panel you need 5,000 hits, 15,000 for purple, 45,000 for blue, 135,000 for green, 405,000 for red and 1,250,000 for black.

Important things to remember with Traffic Pack(s):
1.     When should you start purchasing traffic packs, this will depend on the number of panels that you have, if you have purchased the black package, then you need more traffic to qualify all your panels.
2.     Traffic Packs are a monthly commitment. I will say that again, Traffic Packs are a monthly commitment.
3.     You MUST purchase the same number of traffic packs on the same day of each month
4.     If you purchase more the one Traffic Pack in a 30 day period you will be automatically upgraded to a premium member
5.     Cancellation Policy: Traffic Packs are a monthly commitment. If you decide to cancel your subscription you will:

• Lose 50k bonus hits from your traffic bank (the extra 50k you got as part of your traffic pack purchase).
• If you don’t have enough hits on your traffic bank, they will be removed from your panels in which you have used bonus hits to qualify.
• Not be able to purchase traffic packs again for the next 6 months

Now we can take a look at how much revenue will be generated using Traffic Packs. We are often asked if it is possible to make money without getting referrals, take a look at the image below. Now you can see how much revenue can be generated without any referrals.

Note: The above image does not take into account the monthly membership fee.

Once you sign up through our link we will provide more assistance to you via email on this topic. If you have not registered, please sign up here now and send us an email. Remember it is free to register and you are not required to give bank or credit cards details to register.
As we mentioned above, you need to remember the date that you purchased your traffic pack and purchase subsequent traffic packs on the same date thereafter. Below you will that Banners Broker Banners are still building this functionality within their site. Once this is available and automated, you will not have to remember the date and manually purchase traffic packs, however until that is availbale you much remember the date and purchase the same amount each month.

Below you will see two panels, one was a complimentary panel (first blue panel) and one was qualified using a purchased traffic pack (second blue panel). Important to note the COMP 1, this indicates your first complimentary panel and as discussed previously, it is set at 100%. When this panel (the top one below) reaches its traffic cap it will create two blue panels and it will say COMP 2, this is when you set it to 50% as also discussed previously.

Below you will see an example of a yellow panel that needs to be qualified, you can tell that is needs to be qualified by the section "Qualify Panel 5,000 Traffic Required". This means you need 5000 traffic hits (as explained above) to qualify this panel, if you have purchased your traffic, click that section of the panel to qualify it.Also, note the “traffic booster 1 required” section, this will be discussed later in Traffic Boosters.

You will then be asked if you are sure you want to qualify the panel. Select OK.

2.     Obtaining Sales Credits
The second way to qualify panels is via Sales Credits. Imagine you have working your business for a while, why not recommend this excellent business to a friend or family member so they too can generate income. When you have your own direct referrals, you will obtain sales credit when any of your referrals purchase panels.

When your Direct Referral purchaes a panel, you will get half the hits needed to qualify the same colored panel. You will receive 2,500 sales credits for a yellow panel, 7,500 for purple, 22,500 for blue, 67,500 for green, 202,500 for red and 625,000 for black..

When you join Banners Broker, you get your own referral link. That link is available in the Dashboard setion of the Banners Broker Website when you login. You simply give that link to whomever you introduce to Baners Broker, when they signup they become your direct referral. You can see your direct referrals by selecting Team, then Direct Referrals.

Your traffic bank (image below) shows you how much traffic you have. Below you will see an image of the traffic available to qualify panels. General Traffic is your purchased traffic, the difference between the Total Traffic and the General Traffic is the amount obtained via sales credits. The colored panels show the sales credit traffic that is availbale to qualify each colored panel. Remember you can only use sales credits traffic to qualify the same color panel the traffic came from.

Additional panels can be purchased at any time, you will of course have to qualify them as discussed above. The cost per panel is shown below.

There are a number of things you can do to boost your revenue and some of that comes down to strategy and knowing what to do and when. As we have said before, when you register with us through our link, we will email you some further information that is not contained within this website.
3. Send Organic Traffic to the publisher’s website

The third method to qualify panels is by using the Banners Broker organic traffic.

Essentially, this involves promoting websites that house your panels, you will be able to qualify a panel through organic traffic. Organic traffic is generated through other social media websites, like, Facebook or Twitter.

Banners Broker have recently announced that this part of the system will be availale for use soon. We will update this part of our website when that is available for everyone to use.

The Macro Rule:

The macro rule within Banners Broker means you need to keep a spread of panels at all times. By that we mean you can only qualify panels up to their allowance limit, this number is under each panel colour. Take a look at the screen below, under Yellow you see the number 42,500 and 60,000 under purple and so on. This means we can qualify eight yellow panels (5000 per panel as mentioned earlier), and so on. In order to increase the allowance under each panel, you must purchase, and qualify a panel of the next highest color, in this example, a purple panel. If you purchase and qualify a panel of any color, you will be able to qualify two more panels of the color directly under the panel you purchased and qualified. The other way is of course sales credits, sales credits also increase this allowance number.
