Q: How much will I get paid to run DartMedia Network advertising?
A: All DartMedia Network campaigns are offered on a CPC or CPM basis. DartMedia’s rate-card can be viewed in the Media Kit, though advertising rates can vary. For more accurate information, sign up to become a member and you can find the rates listed in your Campaign Manager. The Campaign Manager lists rates by campaign, from which you can then determine what the payout will be.

Q: Why should I use DartMedia Network as my network?
A: Excellent rates, timely payouts, an incredible referral program, a large selection of ad types and the ability to choose which campaigns appear on your site. See our Publisher page for more information.

Q: What is the minimum traffic level to be a part of the network?
A: 3,000 impressions per month. See the Publisher Agreement for complete terms and conditions.

Q: How does the publisher referral program work?

Q: How can I be sure that all the ads DartMedia Network will run on my site are appropriate?
A: All the ads that are available to run across your website will appear in your account. Once there, you have the option to include or exclude any of the campaigns of existing advertisers. We have provided tools to automatically filter out and/or notify you of any campaigns that do not match your requirements.

Q: Do I have to run all ad formats or can I choose which formats I want on my site?
A: You can choose to run as many or as few formats as you prefer. DartMedia Network does not want you to run any type of advertising format or creative that you deem inappropriate. Keep in mind that the more ad types and campaigns you select can help boost your overall revenue. But we leave that choice to you!

Q: When do I get paid?
A: Payments are made the 20th of the month for the previous month. If your balance for the previous month is over 50 KD and you have provided complete payment information, you will receive a check shortly thereafter. Unpaid balances are rolled-over to the next month. DartMedia Network provides payment by check or PayPal account.

Q: Can I have more than one DartMedia Network advertisement per page?
A: You may place one 468x60/728x90 Banner and one 120x600 Skyscraper per page. These must be placed above the fold or within the first 500 pixels of the page. In addition to these restrictions, you may also place one InVue and one Pop-Under per page. Interstitial implementation may be determined by the site.

Q: Why do I keep seeing Ad Council Ads?
A: 1) If you are serving Banners and Skyscrapers ONLY on URLs containing your approved URL, and

2) you have specified one or more of YOUR OWN default campaigns and waited one-to-two hours for our system to update; then, all valid banner requests to DartMedia Network are filled with either paying ads, or are redirected as you specify. Having all campaigns selected will minimize the number of Ad Council ads displayed. If you are using 728x90 banner code then you must specify your own 728x90 default campaign.

Q: I am seeing a high amount of default impressions, why is that?
A: If you have very few campaigns selected to run on your site and few unique users, you will see a high impression count for your default campaign. To maximize your revenue you will want to select as many campaigns as possible.


Q: Why do my web site statistics not match DartMedia’s reports?
A: In the event that you have unsold inventory and your own default campaign has been created, public-service ads from the Ad Council are served. These impressions are not reported in your stats. Also, all campaigns are audited every 24 hours for IP frequency capping with respect to repeat impressions and clicks. Typically a small percentage of the day's total traffic is credited back to the advertisers affected. This is typically because of non-cookied users.

Q: If I'm a publisher, can I transfer my payments directly into an advertising campaign?
A: No, DartMedia Network cannot implement an automatic transfer at this time. Please create an advertiser account, and pay directly by check, credit-card, PayPal or wire transfer.
