The Banners Broker Traffic Bank is just another place within your back office which gives you some useful information.
You
can get most of the same information from your normal panels page but
here, it’ll break things down a little further.
To
get to your traffic bank, click on the Traffic
Bank menu
option.
You
will be presented with a breakdown of the traffic hits you have
bought or accrued.
We
have covered this in a previous lesson but I’ll give you a short
summary here.
First
look at the Traffic Bank image in your back office.
The Total
Traffic figure
is the total amount of traffic hits you have acquired with either
traffic packs or sales credits (or organic traffic).
The General
Traffic figure
tell you how much traffic you own, through buying traffic packs.
The
colored panels to the right, break down the traffic you have acquired
through sales credits. They are broken down into the panel they have
been allocated for.
If
you have both traffic pack traffic and sales credit traffic in your
traffic bank, the system will use the sales credit traffic first when
qualifying panels.
The
area below the top line contains 4 tabs. This breaks down your
traffic into a pie chart so you can visually see how much traffic you
own via traffic packs, sales credits and via organic traffic.
If
you select a particular tab, you will get further information in the
lower section detailing exactly where and how that traffic came from.
In the image above, you can see that the sales tab has been selected
and the detailed breakdown shows the person who bought and qualified
panels of his own, thereby sending me sales credits.
Each
of the tabs will give you similar information.
Other
than the detailed breakdown, you can pretty much get the same
information from your normal panel view by looking at the traffic
figures on top.
