Hungry For Hits knowledgebase: Add a banner

Add a banner

Banners are displayed in surf, in the top surfbar on the right side of the screen, and on various pages in the member area in Hungry For Hits. In this article, we will explain how you add banners that your want to advertise in Hungry For Hits, and how to assign banner ad impressions (banner views) to them. Free members can add 5 banners, Silver members can add 15 banners, Gold members can add 25 banners and Super advertisers have unlimited advertising to 25 banners. To add a banner, follow these simple steps:

1. Click the My Ads page under the Advertising menu and then click the "Banner ads" button on the top of the page.
2. In the "Image URL" field, put the image url of the banner you want to advertise, a 468x60 picture link. Right click the image of the banner you want to advertise, and copy the image url for this. All links must use HTTPS.
3. In the "Target URL" field, fill in where you want visitors to go when they click your banner, most likely a referral link.
4. In the "Auto assign per hour" field, select if you want to automatically assign a certain number of impressions from your unassigned banner ad impression balance each hour, or leave at 0.
5. Click "Add banner ad" to add your banner. You can also click the "Preview" button to see what it looks like, before clicking the Add button.

If the banner isn't visible on the page after you have added it, no one else would see it either and there is most likely some sort of error with it. First, copy the picture url you added and open it in a new window to see if it is displaying a picture - it should. Most commonly, the picture link is not correct, or the ref link and picture link should switch places.

To have your banner display, you must assign banner ad impressions to it. You can do it manually, by entering how many impressions you want to assign in the "Assigned impressions" field and updating by clicking the green plus sign button next to it, or selecting your banner ad by checking the field in the column left of your ad and using the assign option buttons.

We also have the automatic assign feature for banners that takes a number of unassigned banner ad impressions every hour and assign them to your banner. To set up automatic assign to an existing banner, or to edit the amount, click the "Edit" button next to your banner and select how many impressions you want to assign to your banner each hour.

You can also convert website credits gathered in surf to banner ad impressions. The conversion area is located on the top of the page, next to your impression balance. It's only possible to convert credits to impressions, not the other way around. You will get 10 banner impressions per 1 credit.

Banner advertising is a "cheaper" way to advertise in surf. You can earn banner ad impressions as prizes while viewing ads, surfing, and in daily promo codes.
