Free Dating Banner Exchange. High quality dating traffic Advertising network for dating sites.

Information and Exchange Rules

Q. What is firstdatingnetwork.com?

First Dating Network is a free and robust online advertising engine for companies and webmasters who run dating and singles matchmaking websites. First Dating Network uses a state-of-the-art banner exchange system that offers a multitude of benefits, compared to other exchange services. You will get a healthy exchange rate 5:4 and detailed traffic statistics.

Q. How does it work?
Using exchanging banner advertising you get more traffic. You would cut and paste a simple code into your pages — this code would display banners of other members on your site. Your banners are displayed on other dating and matchmaking websites around the world for free in exchange for advertising space on your sites. Due to this web traffic to your website is increased and generated more sales for you.
This increases web traffic to your website and generates more sales for you.

As well, you can sell your ad space at any time. This would deactivate your banner advertising campaign but you would receive financial compensation for your unused banner impressions.

Q. What 5:4 ratio means?
Every time you will show 5 banners (banners of network members) on your web site, you will earn 4 credits, and we will show your banner 4 times on web sites of other members of First Dating Network.

Q. Why exchange banners?
When visitors click away from your site you probably lose that traffic forever. Offering banner advertising means that you are exchanging "used" visitors for fresh ones who click on your banner on another client’s site. New visitors may stay to sign up for your services, meaning more sales for you. The more traffic you exchange – the greater number of people who are likely to visit your site. This means increased sales and better profits for you.

Q. I believe I may lose traffic by linking to other sites.

Quite the opposite! You lose traffic by NOT LINKING to other sites. Think of your web site as a shop on a busy, downtown street; the more people who drop by the shop, the more your retail business prospers. Numerous marketing researches report that advertising banners attract attention of visitors who do not find what they are looking for on your web site. They leave your web site anyway, but with the help of banner network you can exchange them for new ones who likely become interested just in your site.

Q. How it can benefit me?
All users coming through any given site will eventually leave that site. By providing links to and from other relevant sites you exchange leaving users for fresh users, thus exposing your site to a greater number of people. Increased traffic ultimately converts into higher ranking of your site and increased sales.

Q. Is it easy to use?

Yes, it is very easy. First Dating Networkis designed to be powerful, secure and easy to use. All you need to do is to register, copy and paste your account banner code into your page(s) where you want banners to appear. That's all.

Q. Is it free?
Yes, banner exchange on Firstdatingnetwork is absolutely free. You can also sell your banner spots for cash or buy additional advertising for your site.

Q. Would my site be accepted?
We accept English-language dating and matchmaking websites offering services for people in search for romance and relationships.

Q. Can I use it on several pages on my site?
You can use firstdatingnetwork.com banners on as many pages as you want.Moreover, we encourage you to do so. The more pages you use and the more traffic you exchange, the more users will come to see your site.

Q. Can I have several accounts?
Yes you can.

Q. How do I sell my ad space / impressions?
Login, click "Sell Impressions" and sell your unused impressions. The payment will be issued to you within two business days.

Naturally, you need to have some impressions before you can sell them. To do this make sure that your impressions are "saved for sale or later usage" - the setting is in Banner Manager individually for Top and Non-Top positions. If you do not have your banners uploaded then your impressions will always be saved. But if you have you banners uploaded and set your impressions to power your banners - then all your impressions will be used in real time to rotate your banner ads and you won't be able to sell them.

Q. What if I see a banner not suitable for my website?
Report it. Our banner management team will investigate immediately and remove it from rotation. We do not welcome too suggestive, tasteless, obscene, confusing or offensive banners, but sometimes it is difficult to satisfy all of our exchange members. Even if the banner has been approved previously, we will review it again to ensure that it falls within the guidelines for acceptable banner advertising.

Q. How firstdatingnetwork.com is different from other networks?
firstdatingnetwork.com is, by far, the largest and fastest-growing network in the dating banner exchange industry. We provide our clients with real-time statistics and a Top 50 members table on our main page (updated several times a day). Other networks cannot do so because they have little or nothing to show.

Our main focus is the rigid guidelines we use to keep our traffic acceptable. We only accept high quality dating web sites and work continuously to weed out cheating and ineffective accounts before they can harm the network (and our good customers).

Once our members join - they stay, enjoying a significant boost in traffic to their sites and the subsequent sales that are generated.

Q. What if I see someone cheating on your network?
Report it. It is likely that we have already suspended these accounts before you spot them. But if you see a member who is attempting to cheat, report it to us an we will take immediate action.

Q. "Exchange rules" and about Top and Non-Top banner placements.

Your free member account comes with one top and one non-top banner exchange placements built in.
They work as two separate exchange accounts (with separate banners, codes and statistics).
Some members use only the Top exchange banner others use only the non-top. Some use both in varying combinations.
It's like having two separate accounts…all in one.
We recommend that you use both to maximize traffic coming to your site.
Top banner accounts must be used at or near the top of your page where they can be seen without scrolling).
Non-top banners can be placed anywhere else on the web page (if top placement is an issue for design) but must be easily seen by the visitor.
You may only place one TOP and/or one NON-TOP banner per page. Multiple code sets are not allowed.
Web sites that utilize nude, obscene, tasteless or offensive material will not be accepted. No exceptions.
We respect and value each member of our banner exchange network. But we reserve the right to reject, disable or edit exchange rates on any account where cheating is noticed, where there are low click rates, auto-generated traffic or other activities that will affect the qualify of traffic on our network. This impacts all our members, and our members come first.

Q. What about your TOP and NON-TOP banner positions?
Top banner position has a higher click rate and we recommend it for maximum revenue.
Non-Top banner position should be used in addition to the Top position for multiplying revenue, or on those pages where design does not allow placing banners on the tops of the pages.

Q. I don't have a banner yet.
You only need banners to run your advertising campaign. You do not need a banner to sell your ad space or collect credits for later use. Join and start earning your credits right now. Later you can sell them or power your banners when you have them.

Q. Do you provide statistics?
Yes, firstdatingnetwork.com has state-of-the-art reporting system. We provide detailed traffic, earnings and banner statistics to allow you monitor traffic, impressions and clicks (CTR) for every banner individually as well as overall performance.

Q. Can I pause and resume my banners?
Yes, you can pause and resume displaying your banners on other sites at any time. While your account is paused you still earn impressions for displaying banners on your site or for later sale.

Q. What types of banners can I upload?
We accept banners in "GIF", "JPEG" and "Flash" formats. All banners must have dimensions of 468x60 pixels with a maximum file size of 47 kb. Any banners with nude or obscene content will not be accepted and deleted immediately.

Q. What if I want to buy more traffic?
Consider a premium, paid adverting campaign with firstdatingnetwork.com. You will get competitive pricing, targeted advertising and real-time statistics. Inquire about our advertising rates and packages.
