  What if I still have questions?
The registration process should be very intuitive, and most questions should be covered in this FAQ. However, if you have not found the answer to your question here, please contact us at: team@click-share.com and we’ll be happy to assist with any help or information you may need.

  When will I start receiving ads to my site?
After you complete the registration successfully, login to your account and design your ad layout. Copy the JavaScript code generated by the system ad paste it in the web pages in which you want to display ads. You should start receiving ads to your site as soon as this is done. Please note that at this point, your web pages have not yet been analyzed by our system. The first time each page with the Click-Share JavaScript loads it will display ads matching your default category. At the sent time, it will be analyzed by our system and categorized. Once the page is categorized, it will start displaying targeted ads matching its content. Every time a page changes, it will be re-scanned and re-categorized to keep the ads matching the content.

 

Publishers have sole responsibility for the operation and maintenance of their sites. Click-Share shall not be responsible in the event that the JavaScript ad code is implemented incorrectly or we are technically unable to serve ads on a site.

  Why is Click-Share better than other ad networks?
Click-Share will enable you unleash the true revenue potential of your site. Here’s why:


Unlike other targeted ads networks, at Click-Share, we realize that every page on the Internet can be about many topics, so when displaying a targeted ad, it needs to be on the subject that the user is really interested in. Other ad-serving solutions will let you choose this topic or choose it for you, possibly preventing you from getting the best click through and CPC rates for your pages.


With Click-Share you can:

 

• Run targeted ads that will interest your users.
Benefit from the patent pending HTcheck technology to receive the best matching ads to each of your pages.

 

• Design your text ad.
Click-Sharedelivers easy to read and text and image-based ads that won’t annoy your users. You can design your own ad look or use our attractive presets.

 

• Filter unwanted ads, competitors and whole categories.
Click-Share offers several options to set filtering that is right for you – so you are always in control of incoming content.

 

• Follow your progress.
The Click-Share back-office provides very detailed reports with information regarding click activity by category, cost, rank and time.

 

• Get started easily and quickly.
Joining the Click-Share network is easy and requires near-zero programming efforts on your part. Signing up takes minutes, and you can start delivering ads and generating revenue within 24 hours.

 



  How does Click-Share target ads?
After you sign up, you’ll be provided with a simple JavaScript ad code that you can place in the code of the pages in which you want to display ads. When the new page is first loaded, your unique JavaScript code sends confirmation to our servers that the page is active, and soon after that it is analyzed and categorized by our proprietary category recognition engine. From this point you’ll start getting relevant ads to each of the pages the code is implemented in.

 

Unlike our competitors, Click-Share does not use a static database to match between urls and content. It doesn’t rely on search keywords either. Click-Shareanalyzes the content of each page individually, including dynamic pages, to deliver targeted ads matching the users’ interest. We go beyond simple keyword matching to understand the context and content of each web page - our proprietary engine uses a sophisticated algorithm that includes many parameters such as keyword (words and phrase) analysis, keyword frequency, keyword location, font size, number of links and link parameters to precisely match an ad category. Using Geo-IP also enables you to deliver location specific ads with great ease.

 

Although not yet supported, our technology supports many languages and can also determine the primary language of a page – so Click-Share will target ads matching in language to your content.

 



  What is Exitpoint?

The Click-Share Service


 
  How do you prevent click fraud?

Any method used to artificially and/or fraudulently generate clicks or page impressions is strictly prohibited. Click-Share uses several monitoring technologies to prevent abuse of the Click-Share program. Clicks deemed by us as artificial\fraudulent will not be included in your earnings.
Prohibited methods include but are not limited to:
1. Repeated manual clicks, robots, automated clicking tools, spiders, or other deceptive software.
2. Clicking on your own ads for any reason.
3. Clicks performed due to incentives of any kind for users to click on ads. This includes encouraging users to click on the ads or to visit the advertisers' sites as well as labeling the ads with misleading text.

 



  Will I be obligated to use Click-Share?

You can participate in the Click-Share program for as long as you like, and you can quit at any time by simply removing the Adpoint\Exitpoint ad code from your web pages.
Currently, non-active accounts will remain open indefinitely. If you wish to completely remove your account, please send e-mail to team@click-share.com. For complete cancellation terms, please see our Terms and Conditions. You'll receive your final payment from us approximately 30 days after the end of the calendar month, or at the end of the year if your earnings balance is less than $100. Please note, however, that Click-Share will not make payments for any earned balance less than $1.00.
If you wish to cancel, please let us know why Click-Share didn't work for you. Please email us at team@click-share.com. We do our best to constantly improve our program, so if you do decide to quit, we hope you'll try it again in the future when it may better suit your needs.
In accordance with our Terms and Conditions, Click-Share also reserves the right to terminate a publisher's account and refuse payment. For complete cancellation terms, please see our Terms and Conditions.

 



  Can you guarantee to provide only relevant ads for my site?

Our ability to serve ads on your site depends on several factors, such as our ability to remotely analyze and categorize your site, the content in each of your web pages, and the availability of related ads. We cannot guarantee that we'll always be able to categorize each of your web pages or that we’ll have relevant ads to display. If we cannot categorize your site, we’ll still serve ads related to your default category, however, if we do not have relevant ads (which is highly unlikely), we won’t be able to serve any relevant ads.

 



  Can I use the same JavaScript code in all of my pages?

Yes. The same code will work to serve ads for any of your pages. This is only recommended, however, if all of these pages share the same default category and the same look and feel. Generating a new JavaScript ad code is very intuitive and extremely fast – Just choose your required parameters – And it is ready instantly. Just copy-and-paste – And you’re ready to go!

 



  Can I use the same account to show ads on more than one site?

Definitely, and we encourage it. You account includes your payment information – So as long as the same company/Person behind the relevant sites is the payee, you should use the same account for all of your sites. The JavaScript HTML code we provide may change due to changes you make to match the look and feel of your site, but as long as it is generated under the same account, the payment will go to the same payee. The code will work for any page in any site on which you want to display Click-Share ads. However, you may only place the Click-Share ad code on sites that comply with our program policies and that you own or are legally authorized to act on behalf of for the purposes of Adpoint/Exitpoint. We monitor all of Click-Share’s publisher sites to ensure that all pages displaying Click-Share ads comply with our program policies.

 



 

How can I filter ads by my competitors?

Currently, The Click-Share service enables you to filter ads from a specific category group – So you can filter out ads from advertisers from your same line of business. For example – change to your about Real Estate, you may want to block out other real estate advertisements, but you probably wouldn’t want to block out sites about mortgage. You can choose the appropriate filtering when you generate your ad JavaScript code. You can also use a sensitive content filter to filter out sexually or adult oriented ads such as sex, gambling, alcohol, etc.

In the near future Click-Share will ad an option to filter out specific urls – So that you could block out specific competitors instead of/in addition to blocking a category.

Please note - filtering categories/sites may decrease the variety of ads that can appear on your pages as well as decrease your potential earnings.

 



  How do I start running ads?

Once your application is approved and your email address is verified, you’ll be able to login to your account with your login information (email address and password) that you submitted with your application and customize your ads. As soon as you’re done, you'll be able to copy-and-paste the Adpoint/Exitpoint JavaScript ad code into your web pages and begin serving ads.
Until your site is analyzed and categorized by our system it will display ads matching your default category. As soon as the JavaScript first loaded, the page is sent to be analyzed and should start serving content matching ads. Every time the page changes, it will be re-sent to be analyzed and categorized to keep the ads matching the content.

Publishers have sole responsibility for the operation and maintenance of their sites. Click-Share shall not be responsible in the event that the JavaScript ad code is implemented incorrectly or we are technically unable to serve ads on a site.

 



Revenue & Payments


 
  When and how will I get paid?

Payments will be made in U.S. Dollars via check and sent in the mail approximately 30 days after the end of each calendar month that Click-Share ads are running on your site.

  How much will I earn through this program?
