Traffic Sell

You can automatically sell part of traffic (some % of outgoing clicks)

Sell URLs and weight - you can sell to multiple URLs. You can use weight to control which URLs get more traffic. Conditionally if you have 2 URLs you can set 50\50 and then it will distribute evenly, or you can set more for some URL. Note that weight - this is NOT the skim percentage, this is exactly what % will be sent to this URL of the sellable traffic. For example, you have 100k clicks total, you sell 1% = 1000 clicks. If you have 2 sell URLs with 50 on each - each will get approximately 500 hits.

Percent of sellable traffic is set in All Traders - what % of traffic to send to sale. These are default values for all clicks. Note that there are 2 values - % of sellable clicks from clicks that should go to URL and % of clicks that should go to traders.

Sell URL - URL where to send sellable traffic. Note that there can be several Sell URLs, for example 2 brokers and the % in this line - this is NOT the percent of sellable traffic in general, but % of sellable traffic to this URL.

You can also set personal settings for each trader (101 - means use defaults)

Clicks Estimated at the bottom of the table - expected number of clicks, this statistic is calculated based on the last hours' statistics.

In Sell URL you can use the {URL} tag to return traffic. For example, the surfer clicks out.php?url=http://gallery.com/, but instead of going there directly we send them to a broker. In that case, you can write the sell URL as http://broker.com/in.cgi?user&return_url={URL}, so the surfer is redirected to http://broker.com/in.cgi?user&return_url=http://gallery.com/

If the broker doesn't like the surfer and decides to return them to us, but sends them directly to http://gallery.com/.

The &return_url parameter is set for each broker separately - consult with them.

GeoIP Limits country code restrictions

    for example: US,DE,UK
    ! means do not sell: !US,!DE,!UK

Skip Sell

By default traffic will be sold from any link (except &member=), but if for some reason you shouldn't sell when clicking on some link - you can add the &skip_sell=true parameter

Sell in skimming

Even if sale is 0, but you can specify sale in the skim, for example set the skim as

50,sell,50
in this example the 2nd click will be sent to sale

Sell by groups

Imagine we're selling traffic on a multi-niche site. By default we specified in Traffic Rules - Traffic Sell the URL like http://broker.com/?id=your_id and all traffic, on all pages of your site is sold via this URL. However if we sold traffic for example from the page /category/japanese/ via the URL http://broker.com/?id=your_id&niche=japanese then the broker would give a higher price.

To do this, add the {GROUP} parameter to the sell URL, so the URL becomes http://broker.com/?id=your_id&niche={GROUP} (for example, for Trafficholder: http://www.trafficholder.com/in/in.php?youreid-{GROUP}). But what if the broker does not have a japanese niche and the closest match is, for example, tube_asian? In that case, use the Niche traffic sell field in Rotation - CMS - Tube settings to map your niches to the broker's niches, for example:

tube_asian=Japanese,Asian
where tube_asian is the broker's niche, and Japanese,Asian are our niches on the site separated by comma.

Sell to TDS and Brokers

When selling traffic you can specify not just a specific URL, but reference TDS or brokers as

TDS_1 where 1 is the scheme ID
BROKER_SPOT_1 - brokers spot ID
BROKER_SPOT_asd - asd spot name
Note that all brokers have a so-called return URL, also known as a fallback URL. If the broker does not sell a specific hit, they can return it.

In general this means you can return it to TDS or Brokers.

If it's TDS then you can make for example rules 1. broker 2. your new site where you will supply unsold traffic

In this case the broker's return URL should be http://your-site/scj/cgi/out.php?scheme_id=..

If it's Brokers then for each broker we set return url = http://your-site/scj/cgi/out.php?broker_spot_id=.. and if broker 1 doesn't sell the hit they will return it to this URL and smart will direct it to broker 2.
