Membership in Advertise4Profits.com can be used in 3 ways

1. Making Money: When you open a free account, our automatic webpage rotator will show you different websites of our members. You will view each website for 15 seconds. It is like watching a slide-show. You earn one "credit" for each site you view. When you have earned at least 10 credits in a day, you will receive a Cash Payment to your account. Free members receive 1/4% on their Free $10.00 sign up bonus for 90 days. If they have not Upgraded within that time period, their $10.00 Sign up Bonus will be deleted. Upgraded members will receive 1/2% of their "Member Level" per day for 365 days. We give you a Free Member Level of $10 to start and that earns 2 1/2 cents a day for 90 days as a Free Member, and 5 cents a day for 365 days as an Upgraded member. You can also earn Extra Cash by clicking on our Bonus Cash links while you are viewing member websites. Upgrade your account with $10 or more to increase your earnings and earn 1/2% per day for 365 days on each Upgraded amount. Paid members get extra benefits, including commissions for Referring New Members.
2. Free Advertising: You can add your own web pages to the rotator for others to visit. Each visit will deduct one credit from your account. Free members can add 2 of their own websites into the rotator, and Upgraded member can add 5 of their websites to the rotator. You can earn, win or buy extra credits.
3. Paid Advertising: You can use Advertise4Profits.com to promote your web pages to our highly responsive members, without having to view sites. Simply join and buy discount credits, and let them do the work for you. Most people will use one, two or all three ways.

10. Free, highly responsive advertising of your websites (optional)
11. Paid visits to your sites are available at low rates

What do I have to do?
Join up for free, then login each day and view member websites (use Start Surfing on your member page). You will find your free $10 bonus upgrade added to your member level. You can earn 1/2% of your Member Level every day that you view 10 or more sites. When you have earned our minimum payout of $20.00 (Upgraded Members) in your Cash Balance, you can request payment. IMPORTANT: We have an 80% Payout Rule, so your account must actually show a $25.00 balance, for your Payout request to go through. $20.00 is 80% of $25.00. The A4P Script recognizes $20.00 as the minimum Payout, but since we have the 80% payout rule, it must show $25.00 in your account to be completed. Upgrade your account with $10 or more to earn more money. Each upgrade will earn for 365 days. Optionally, sign up new members under you and earn extra credits and cash commissions when they upgrade, if your own account is upgraded).

Member Level Advertising Requirements: The Advertise4Profits site offers 1/2% per day in Profit to your account balance. All members of Advertise4Profits can make from 140 to 180% in Profit on their Advertising account balance in a 365 day period. This is a Very Good Profit that each member can make. We are an Advertising site, and to justify these kinds of Profit payouts, we do have some small member level requirements. These requirements make the A4P Site a legitimate Business Opportunity, as well as support our Future growth. Each Upgraded account will need the following Advertising Requirements completed each month, to receive Commission Payouts during that month. For member account levels from 1.00 to 99.00, the following Advertising Purchases will be required. This will be done automatcially by the A4P Admin, between the 15th and the end of each month, so the member has to do nothing.

1. 1.00 to 40.00 member level: 1.00 credit purchase 50 credits added to the members account.
2. 41.00 to 70.00 member level: 3.00 credit purchase 150 credits added to the members account.
3. 71.00 to 99.00 member level: 5.00 credit purchase 300 credits added to the members account.

Member Level accounts that are 100.00 or more, must keep an Active Subscription in the S4P Network Program Search4Profits. This is a $10.00 monthly subscription, and will give each member a lot of extra Bonuses, and potential to build a good Commission. IMPORTANT: All A4P Members that are required to have S4P Subscriptions, must keep them active every month, to receive Payouts from the A4P Admin. If you do not keep your Subscription active, the amount you are due, will be deducted from your A4P Account by the admin, and a 5.00 fee will be assessed to your account. It creates a lot of problems, if we have to constantly contact the member, to keep their account up to date. Having this requirement, makes the program Solid and Legal.

What happens after 365 days?
Your account with Advertise4Profits.com will continue until you delete it or it is inactive for 90 days. You can use it to advertise your websites for free, but you will not earn money if your Member Level is zero. Each $10 Upgrade Unit expires after 365 days. The $10 is then removed from your Member Level, and your future earnings will fall. You can buy more Units at any time, and each will earn for 365 days. So, you can keep your account earning money indefinitely. Paid members can use their account earnings to upgrade, but only on days specified by the Admin of Advertise4Profits.

Deleting your account:
Login to your account and click Delete near the top of your members area page. That will remove you from our system and mailing list. All cash and credits will be lost as we do not give refunds.

How do I get started?
Getting Started - step by step:

1. Join up for Free by clicking the Signup button on the Home Page. We only need to know your name and a working email address, and how we can pay you.
2. Wait a few minutes for your Activation Email. Click the activation link in the email to confirm your address.
3. Using your web browser, log in to your account at http://www.Advertise4Profits.com home page with your email and password.
4. Click "Start Surfing" near the top of your member page
5. Watch the slide-show of websites until you have earned 10 credits or more. Your account will then be fully activated. If our top Surf Bar disappears, click your browser back button, or login again.
6. Also watch for credit and cash bonus offers. Click them to claim them.

If all you want is to make money, that's it! Do that every day to earn 1/2% of your Member Level. New members get a free $10 upgrade to start. You can increase your earnings by purchasing more $10 upgrades.

Each Free $10.00 Upgrade that you receive when you join the Advertise4Profits program, will expire at the end of 90 days for Free Members, and 365 days for Upgraded Members. As a Free Member, you would then need to have a Paid Upgrade to your account, to continue receiving the 1/2% return on your member level.

If you want to advertise your websites on Advertise4Profits.com, do this:

1. Click the Edit Button near the bottom of your member page next to "Add new site" and add your websites (up to 3 for free accounts, 7 for upgraded accounts).
2. Click Confirm in your site list to test your site for popups, errors, and acceptable content. Your site must not have popups or any code to redirect or stop our surf bar in any way
3. Click the Allocate link near the top of your member page to allocate some credits to your sites

We add one credit to your account when you view another site, and deduct one when your site is viewed by someone.

You can get credits by surfing, or you can buy more by clicking the Upgrade/Buy link near the top of your member page. We do not pay you for your credits. You can't redeem them for cash. They are for promoting your own sites on Advertise4Profits.com. We pay you for the DAYS that you surf.

If you know how, you can make more money by getting others to join up under your referral code. Tell all your friends, but do not SPAM! Have fun!

Why did I not get my Activation email?
The email address you used to join may contain an error, or email from us may be blocked by your service or SPAM filter. You can request the email again by using the Lost Password link under the login box at our home page. If it still does not arrive, try joining again with a better email address.

Why can't I login?
Login at our home page with the email you used when you opened your account. Click the Lost Password link there to have your password or activation email sent to that address again if you need it.

Your email address must be valid and working. Some email service providers, or your email filters may block our email. You must join again with a better email address if you do not get our emails.

The Activation link we sent you when you joined will only work once. If you get an error, your account is probably already activated and you should be able to login at our home page.

If you still have trouble getting in, close all browser windows and try again. The following may help:

1. The user name and password are case sensitive. Be careful with Capital Letters.
2. Make sure there are no extra spaces in your login email or password, especially hiding at the end.
3. Try copying and pasting your login email and password from the welcome email. Be careful not to include spaces.
4. Make sure your browser and firewall are not blocking our temporary session cookie. In IE6: Tools, Internet Options, Privacy tab, set to Medium (which is the normal default setting) or lower.
5. Some users of firewalls such as Norton may have to change settings to allow your login to work.

Can I have more than one account?

Free members are permitted only one account.

If you are a UPGRADED member you can have 2 paid accounts, but only one free account.

Each account must have its own valid email address. All can use the same computer or IP. The site will prevent you from using two accounts at the same time on the same PC. You must use the Logout link on your member page to change accounts.

Remember that you will have to surf all accounts to make money. It is easier to pool your funds into one account.

About Surfing:
How does allocating credits work?
Credits that you earn, buy, or win as bonuses are allocated to your account. but not to your sites. You must allocate credits to your site for them to be used and your sites shown.

Click the Edit button on the Account Credits line to allocate them.

On the allocate screen, enter quantities you want for each site, up to the total available on your account.

Click Allocate to store the changes and you are done.

To ensure that we have a continuous supply of sites to display, we may automatically allocate credits from your account to your sites. If you have active sites with no credits, we may allocate a proportion of your account credits to them. You can prevent that by ensuring your sites always have some credits, or by putting a site on hold.

Negative Credits: Sites with Negative credits will be deleted from the rotation and your account. It is IMPORTANT that you make sure if your sites are nearing "0" credits, that you add more credits to them. If you have no credits, then place your sites on hold status, until you can add credits to them

You cannot remove credits from sites or move them between sites. You may change the URL of a site at any time to use up credits. Do not delete a site with credits or you will lose them.

You can stop a site from being displayed or from receiving automatically allocated credits by putting it On Hold (click Edit next to the site).

If you delete a site, you will lose its credits. Instead, change the URL; even to a site that you already have listed.

Why do I get logged out?

To protect your account, your login will automatically expire after a period of inactivity.

Ensure that your PC is allowing JavaScript, and our temporary session cookie.

You should also clear your cache periodically. In your browser, click Tools, Internet Options, and click Delete Files under Temporary Internet Files. Select Delete All Offline Content and click OK. This could take some time if it is not done regularly.

If you are logged out while surfing, it may have been caused by a site that breaks out of our surf-bar frame. These sites are banned but could be loaded from another site. Please send us the full address of the loading site if you can, so we can remove it.

We have a few reports that clicking for a bonus will sometimes produce a blank page (with Internet Explorer 6 only). The bonus is actually added to your account, and hitting the Refresh button resumes surfing.

Being taken to the login page means something has caused your browser to close our session cookie. This could be:

• Your firewall or cookie (Privacy) settings
• Running Advertise4Profits in more than one window
• Opening our links in a new window
• Our server being temporarily down or overloaded
• A long period without key or mouse activity.

Also try both http://Advertise4Profits.com and http://www.Advertise4Profits.com.

If you are using MS Internet Explorer, try the free Firefox browser at http://getfirefox.com. It will also avoid the window that confirms leaving the surfbar.

Why is my site Suspended?

It breaks out of our surf bar frame, produces alert boxes, or contains unacceptable content or scripts.

Our rules are simple. If you break our rules deliberately - with war games, adult sites, sites that disrupt surfing or try to download anything, etc, you will be BANNED FOR LIFE.

Sites must be legal and family-safe. We do not permit popups, rotators, re-directs, adult or offensive sites, or any site that disrupts surfing.

We will not respond to emails about suspended sites or accounts. It is YOUR responsibility to follow our easy rules.

What does CPH mean?
Members who have paid to upgrade can use the Credits Per Hour (CPH) setting to RESTRICT the number of times a site can be displayed in an hour. You can change the CPH by clicking the Edit button for the site.

Why is my site not being shown?
The selection of sites for display is completely random from the many thousands of eligible sites in our database. However, your sites will be shown as you will see the number of credits you have allocated to each site goes down. Also, you will not see your own sites in rotation, because the script blocks each member from seeing their own sites. This is done so you do not waste credits, and you get the most for your advertising.

Things to check:

1. Make sure you have allocated credits to your sites
2. Ensure your sites are not "Waiting", "Suspended" or "On_Hold"
3. If you have CPH, do not set it too low as it RESTRICTS the number of times a site can be shown in any hour. Usually, better left at zero (off)
4. If you have only one site, try adding it several times to increase the chances of it being picked.

The Stats at your site may not show our hits, because they all come from the same IP address (ours), or because our timer may be too short to register.

Why have I reached a daily surfing limit?
The maximum credits you can earn per day is 20 to earn cash, plus bonuses. That will get you at least 20 visits to your sites. Our ratio is very high at 1:1, even for free members. However, you can continue to surf to a maximum of 50 credits per day, to increase your advertising, click on more Bonus cash and credit links, and give your sites more credits. When you have reached 50 credits, the surf bar will automatically block your account from suring any more during that day.

You can buy more credits on our Upgrade/Buy page, which increases revenue for our members.

Why does the auto surfing stop?

There could be a server, connection problem or slowdown, but most likely, a "frame-breaking" site has removed our surf-bar frame.

These sites are banned but some are loaded from other sites. We remove those when we find them.

If you watch the screen while you earn your money (as you should), you may be able to continue by clicking your Back button a few times, or the Refresh/Reload button if the screen is completely blank.

About Money:
How do I earn cash?

To earn money, you must have a Member Level greater than zero. Free members are given $10 to start. You can upgrade your account at any time with $10 or more. The more you pay in to increase your Level, the more you can earn.

Each day, login to your account and start surfing. We have a Manual Surf Rotation, which means better website viewing for our Advertisers. Free members view 20 sites per day, and Upgraded members view 10 sites per day. That will take less than 10 minutes.

For every day that you do that, you can earn 1/4% for Free members, and 1/2% for Upgraded members, of the member level showing in your account.

You can win more cash and credits by watching for our random bonus offers.

You can earn extra credits and cash by signing up new members. If you have upgraded your own account, you will earn a 5% bonus of every upgrade fee paid by members, who join under your referral code.

And remember, the more members, the more certain your earnings will be!

How do I get paid?
KEY POINTS:
Make a request for payout when you reach your payout level. (Free Members cannot request a Payout. You must be an Upgraded member to request a Payout. As soon as your Cash Balance reaches a minimum of $20.00 you can request a payout on your Cash Balance. IMPORTANT: We have an 80% Rule set up on all A4P Payouts, which means to reach a minimum Payout Cash Balance, you must actually have $25.00 in your account, to get paid out. $20.00 in 80% of $25.00, which is the minimum amount fo request a Payout.

The Payout Details on your account page must be valid - your EMAIL ADDRESS ONLY at AlertPay and your user name at SolidTrust Pay.

Any unpaid amounts due will be included in your earnings towards your next payout..

FREE accounts cannot be upgraded from your Cash Balance. At the present time, we do not allow upgrades from account earnings. However, this could change at the discretion of the A4P Admin.

If you are an Upgraded Member, and have a Cash Balance of at least $20.00, you can request a payout at any time. IMPORTANT: Please follow the guidelines for requesting a Payout in the Key Points section of the FAQ's.

Unpaid: Any unpaid cash will be transferred to the "Previous month earnings" for the current month. That will be included in your "Final balance owed this month", and can be requested with your next payout request.

Click the Edit button next to your name in your account to update your payout type and ID. Make sure you provide accurate details - your EMAIL ADDRESS ONLY at AlertPay and your user name at SolidTrust Pay. It is VERY IMPORTANT your payout details are accurate, or it will delay your Commission Payout when you make a request.

It may take up to 7 days for your payout to be received after your request has been made. We have over an 8 month track record of Payouts being made within 7 days or less, usually within 72 hours.,

How do I make payments?

You can make payments with AlertPay, SolidTrust Pay, or you can pay by mail.

All payments must be made through the Upgrade/Buy link on your member page.

If you have already PAID to upgrade (you are an "Upgraded" member and not "Free"). The A4P Admin will sometimes allow Upgrade from earnings. This depends on the growth of the program. If you see the Upgrade from account earnings in your Payment box, then you can Upgrade. If you do not, the feature is disabled for the time being.

You can also use your cash to buy upgrades for your referrals. Click the Upgrade buttons on your Referral page. You do not get commission on payments made by yourself. This feature can also be disabled, at the discretion of the admin.

If you are a FREE member, you cannot use your Cash Balance to upgrade. You must first buy an upgrade through your payment processor. Free members cannot recieve a Cash-out payment. You must be an Upgraded member to receive a Cash-out.

I surfed a lot of sites today. Where is my extra pay?
We do not pay you for all the credits you earn. We pay for each DAY that you earn at least 10 credits. Earning extra credits means that your sites can be displayed more but they will not earn more money for you. We limit you to viewing a maximum of 50 sites per day. You can click on the Bonus Cash Links and earn extra cash when viewing the 50 sites each day.

How can you pay out so much?
Some of your fee will be absorbed by running costs but the remainder will become part of the pool to be paid to members. In order for you to receive more than the amount you paid, the program relies on future earnings from the growth of memberships and other revenues. As long as the program continues to receive income during your membership, you will be paid.

Are payouts guaranteed?
No. The proposed payout is 1/2% of your Member Level for each day that you earn 10 or more credits for viewing other members pages. Bonus, referral, and purchased credits are excluded from earning. The reason it was set at a modest 1/2% is to guarantee the long term growth of Advertise4Profits. Other Surf Advertising sites that pay higher percentages will not last. If you look at the long term numbers, they cannot continue to pay those percentages to their members. We have set up a program here, that can guarantee a long term profit for all of our members.

The percentage may be adjusted up or down depending on the inflow of revenues. Downward adjustments may be necessary in periods of slow growth and could potentially reach zero at times to keep the program operating.

Is my 'Upgrade Money' safe?

The money you pay to upgrade your account is a membership FEE, not an investment. We state clearly that payments are not refunded. Each Upgrade unit you buy will earn for you for a set period of time and then expire. You can buy more units at any time and extend your membership and earnings.

Your fee is NOT returned to you. Instead, you can EARN up to twice as much back, plus an unlimited amount of referral commission, subject to the continued successful operation of the site.

Is this legal?
It is not our intention to break any laws. If you participate, it is up to you to check the laws applicable in your locality.

Is it a scam?
No. We want you to be fully informed of the way the program works and the risks involved.

Will I lose my money?

You "lose" your money as soon as you pay it to us. You volunteer to pay a non-refundable fee to join the program and share in its income. You are not "investing" or "depositing" and the money is no longer "yours". You are buying the chance to earn up to double your money back, with no guarantee. Do not spend more than you can afford.

Get your money back

Get your original outlay back as soon as you can and keep it. Then play with some or even all of your profit - but for a limited time. Don't kid yourself that you are "investing"-all sites like Advertise4Profits.com are a risky gamble to some extent.

Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Seek and join other sites. And never spend more than you can afford.

Nothing is forever

We believe the Advertise4Profits.com concept is viable and sustainable, and we suggest that you make your own evaluation.

We want to keep Advertise4Profits.com running forever, but at the end of the day, its fate is up to our members, not us. The best you can do is make the most of it while you can.

Be aware of the risk and go for it! You can still enjoy Ice Cream even if you know it might melt!

A simple step-by-step strategy to make your money work for you with Advertise4Profits.com:

1. Explore the site and read the FAQ's to learn how it works. Make yourself aware of the rules.
2. Join Advertise4Profits.com right now as a free member. You must be an adult and you must fully understand English. Be sure to use the referral link that introduced you to Advertise4Profits.com, as your sponsor can be very helpful to you.
3. Click "Start Surfing" to see how the Manual slide-show of Members Websites works. View at least 10 sites and watch the surfbar for bonus credits and cash. Click for any bonuses that you see. Leave the surf bar to claim them, then continue. Look at the Cash Balance on your member page to see how much your free sign-up bonus is earning for you.
4. Decide if you can login and view 10 or more sites every day for at least 365 days. If so, and if you are sure that you can accept the strict conditions in our Terms, continue reading.
5. Decide how much money you should spend. For example, how much would you bet on a very hot tip at the track? We will use $100 for this example, but the result can be close to double your money for any amount from $1 to $1,000. Remember that this is a non-refundable FEE. You will NOT get it back, and you must agree not to even try to get it back. It is a FEE to allow you to participate in our Advertising Program, and not an "investment" of any kind. Our program does not allow it to be returned to you under any circumstances.
6. On the first of the next month (or sooner) and before surfing for the day, click Upgrade/Buy and buy 10 Units ($100) with AlertPay, SolidTrust Pay. You will need one of these payment processors to receive payments from Advertise4Profits.com. Your Advertise4Profits account will be cancelled and your money lost if your payment is reversed for any reason.
7. View at least 10 sites every day for the next 365 days and watch your Cash Balance grow. You will earn a little less if you miss any days, but there is no other penalty. At the end of 365 days, you will have earned a Good Profit, and received excellent Advertising for whatever Product or Service you are selling. We have set up a responsible program with solid rules, that can help us maintain this profit for our members for years to come. If you join Advertise4Profits, and follow our terms and conditions, and the rules in our FAQ's, you can profit and grow with our program.
