My Arcader - Arcade Information, Themes and Scripts

Hey Arcaders,

After some time reviewing some Arcade Banner Exchanges I’ve come to noticed a lot of them trying to cheat users into joining them by making them appear more popular than they really are. This can include adding fake clicks/impressions, Fake accounts, Sudden bursts of traffic out of no-where, Offering large ammounts of free clicks/impressions without the users to supply them and a lot more.

Without labellingany of the exchanges I’ve come across, I’m going to give them a chance to straighten up and show you a few ways to detect a cheating in arcade banner exchanges so that you will not waste your time, Ad space or money. The most basic way to check if the site is a scam check the Info/Stats page of the exchange, If you can see millions of clicks and impressions and its a new or unknown exchange it would be a good idea to check the ammount of users it has. Don’t be fooled though, Some banner exchanges you might not know everyone else might know about and it may be one of the few really popular exchange websites. Below is a list of the exchanges we currently know of:

List of Arcade Banner Exchanges

When looking at an exchange try to find out as much information as you can. Some exchanges have more information than others such as top users, Site Directory, All ads and even a contact form. All this information serves you a good purpose in studying how the website  is doing and it lets you compair the site to see if its telling the truth or not about its stats. Also a tip is to look at the users banners and grab one that really takes your attention. This way you can get some pretty neat animated gifs for your arcade ads.

Some exchanges have a directory.php to improve SEO and display who has accounts with them. Try having a look at it and see how many of those websites really are using the exhange ( http://domain.com/directory.php ) it is a great way to pull out cheating websites to if you can see them sending impressions on the top list but not ads on there website.

Few other links that might come in handy:
http://domain.com/list.php?size=1 <- Ads + Accounts with teh exchange.
http://domain.com/info.php <- Stats.
http://domain.com/contact.php <- See if you can contact them.

Some exchanges might have re-named/deleted these links to hide there real stats. If you have never heard of the exchange before and you cant find any information like stats or users i highly recommend not trying it. Even if it temps you with free click/impressions it wont be worth it if in return they want ad space for super long periods of time.

Benefits of a Known/ Trusted Exchange:
- Experience in what there doing.
- You can trust clicks to your exchange being real.
- Good Support and Help.
- Real CTR
- And much much much more!

So next time you consider to join an arcade exchange website make sure what the website is really like that you’re dealing with.
