We identified an issue with the downline builder earlier today and it has now been fixed.  If you have been using the downline builder, please check your IDs again.

If you had issues saving your IDs in the past, please try again, it should work correctly now.

We just added an RSS feed for the members area news.  You can get it at http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TpmRotatorMemberNews.

PRO members are now able to add new programs to the downline area.  To get started, just log in at http://www.tpmrotator.com/ and click on “Build Downline” in the members area.

The TPM Lottery has reached 167181 credits, which is good for over 160,000 free hits to your website.  You are allowed to play up to 15 tickets every day.  To play, simply log into your account at http://www.tpmrotator.com and click “Win Credits”.

TPM Rotator is now TERP compatible.  What does that mean?  Well it means that more traffic exchanges should now start allowing TPM Rotator URLs in their exchange.  TERP allows the exchange owners to search through all the urls in your rotator to see if any of them have been banned at the site.

If you know of any exchanges that are blocking TPM Rotator URLs, please let me know at support@tpmrotator.com.

Today is the third thursday in September.  What does that mean for you?  Well as is every month at TPM Rotator, any AdBucks you purchase will be multiplied by 1.5 and then added to your account.  So if you buy $10 worth of AdBucks, you’ll get $15!  (Note that you must pay through PayPal and must not use an eCheck).

If not, why not?  The downline builder is an extremely powerful tool to help you get ahead in your quest for traffic.

To use the Downline Builder, simply log into TPM Rotator at http://www.tpmrotator.com/ and click on “Downline Builder”.

You will be presented with a lot of programs that you can sign up for.  If you are already a member, fill in your user ids in the boxes to the right of each program.  When someone in your TPM Rotator downline signs up for one of the programs, they will be referred by you!  It’s really simple!

We will be opening up additions to the Downline Builder soon, so if there is a program on the list that you recommend, get ready to add it!

I am currently working on the next version of TPM Rotator and want to know what you want in a rotator.  Please email us or leave your suggestions in the comments.

When someone visits your rotator link, the link remains in the title bar of your browser.   The reason for this is that if the person presses refresh, they’ll get another one the sites in your rotator.  Some people desire this behavior and other’s don’t.  If you are one of the ones who don’t, you are in luck, you can direct surfers directly to your site and remove all traces of TPM Rotator (provided you are a pro member).

Instructions:

1. You must be a PRO member for this to work.
2. You can only use this feature with the long rotator url.
3. Copy your rotator URL.
4. Add the following to the end of the URL: &inv=1
5. Ex:  http://www.tpmrotator.com/rotate2.php?id=1&rotator=admin becomes http://www.tpmrotator.com/rotate2.php?id=1&rotator=admin&inv=1
6. Thats it!  Enjoy.

The weight option for sites in a rotator is one of the most commonly misunderstood functionalities available.  The main purpose of this feature is to allow you to send more of your traffic to some sites and less to others.  The setting is relative to the other sites in the rotator.

For example, if one site has a weight of 1, and another site has a weight of 2, the second site will be shown twice as often as the first.  (If you receive 9 hits to your rotator, the first site will be shown 3 times and the second site will be shown 6 times.)  The order shown will be first, second, second, first, second, second, first, second, second.  If both sites are set at the same weight, they will be shown the same number of times (regardless of the weight selected).

Example 2:  If one site is set to 5, and another to 10, you have the same exact scenario as above (site 2 will be shown twice as much as site 1).

Example 3:  If you add another site in there, site 3, with a weight of 1 you will have the following scenario:  (Site 1 will be shown 5 times as much as site 3, and site 2 will be shown 10 times as much as site 3).
