Questions Related to New Features Released in 2010:
Q:
I noticed that ClickCash has revamped their payout programs. Where can I find more information about these new programs? (view answer)
A:
ClickCash is pleased to announce our new customer referral payout programs for 2010. These include Revenue Sharing, Pay Per Sign-Up, and Pay Per Free Sign-Up programs. ClickCash has also added a Model Referral Program as well, allowing you to earn a commission for recruiting new webcam models to iFriends sites. You can read a review of each of the payout programs on our Programs Page. Each program's page features the payout schedule for that specific program.
Q:
Can I update my existing ClickCash links to take advantage of these new payout programs? (view answer)
A:
There are two ways that you can update your existing ClickCash links to deliver traffic through to our new payout programs. If you want to edit specific links to point to specific programs, simply update the &svc=IF variable to reflect the payout program you wish to use for that link. If your link does not contain a &svc=IF variable, you may add it in anywhere after your account code and before the &url= variable. The values would be: Alternatively, if you wish to switch all of your links to point through a specific payout program, you can easily do this without having to edit all of your links. Just log into your ClickCash account and access the Update Account area of the account manager. Scroll down to the "Payout Information" section and you will see a pull-down labeled "ClickCash Payout Program Override." Update this to reflect the program you want to use for all your links, then save your changes. This will override all of your links, regardless of the &svc= value set. If you wish to later manually manage your links, just return to this page and select "None."
Q:
Does ClickCash have any programs where I can refer models to the iFriends family of sites? (view answer)
A:
Yes! With our Model Referral Program, you earn a commission for each model that you recruit to any of the iFriends sites. For full details on this program, as well as linking codes and pre-made banners, just click here.
Q:
Is there a way that I can take advantage of the new payout programs for sign-ups through my my WWEE? (view answer)
A:
The WWEE Global Settings manager has been updated to allow you to select the payout program under which you would like your WWEE sign-ups to pay out to your account. Simply log into your WWEE site with its manager account and access your Global Settings. In your Global Settings and Properties section you will find a pull-down labeled "ClickCash Payout Program." Simply select the payout program you want to use for your WWEE's qualifying sign-ups, then click "Save Change(s)." Within 24-48 hours, your WWEE qualifying sign-ups will payout to your ClickCash account through the program you selected.
Q:
I received an e-mail that my ClickCash Anniversary is coming up. What does that mean? (view answer)
A:
Congratulations on another year with ClickCash! During the entire month of your sign-up anniversary, your account enjoys a bonus of an extra $20 per PPS payout for each qualifying PPS sign-up generated through your links. This is on top of any other bonuses ClickCash is offering during the same month. For more details, and to take advantage of increased PPS payouts, just check out our anniversary bonus program page.
Q:
I use Google Analytics to track my marketing. Is there a way I can track using Google Analytics with my ClickCash Parked Domain or my WWEE skin? (view answer)
A:
Both the ClickCash Parking program and the WWEE skin manager support Google Analytics tracking using your Google Analytics code (eg: UA-1054656-58). With ClickCash Parking, you may enter your Google Analytics code in the "Google Analytics Tracking Code" text box on the site manager. For your WWEE pages, simply log into your WWEE site with its manager account and access your Global Settings. In your Global Settings and Properties section you will find a field labeled "SiteGoogleAnalytics." Enter your Google Analytics code in this text box, then save your changes.
Q:
I live in the United States and want to know if you have any alternative payout programs for US residents? (view answer)
A:
Yes! In 2010, ClickCash introduced Direct Deposit for its US-based affiliates. With Direct Deposit, you specify the bank account into which you want your commissions deposited. At the end of each pay period, you will receive your commissions deposited directly into that bank account. To sign up for Direct Deposit, simply log into your ClickCash account and access the Update Account area of the account manager. In the "Payout Information" section you will see the Direct Deposit set-up. Here you will specify your account information for ClickCash to use for your commissions. Follow the instructions on the screen and, once your information is verified, your commissions will be deposited into the account you selected.

US Residents may also participate in the WebPowerFX® program. With FX, you are issued a prepaid Visa/ATM debit card onto which your commissions from ClickCash are electronically loaded. You may then use your FX card just like a normal Debit Card. With FX, you eliminate the hassles of printed checks and receive your commissions quickly and easily. For more information about WebPowerFX®, just visit the WebPowerFX® FAQ. To sign-up, simply log into your account and access the Update Account area of the account manager.
Q:
The new real-time stats area looks great! Can you provide an overview of what information it provides? (view answer)
A:
One of the biggest innovations in our redesign was the graphical interface for Real-Time stats. Here you can see, at a glance, how your account has been performing over the last year. For a full, in-depth review of what is included in the new real-time stats, take our real-time stats course at ClickCash University!
Q:
I missed the most recent edition of the ClickCash Newsletter. Where can I find it? (view answer)
A:
You can always find the most recent edition of the ClickCash Connection at our newsletter page. You can also find an archive of old newsletters in our forum.
Q:
Can I use the promos in the ClickCash Creative Library to market my own co-branded WWEE skin? (view answer)
A:
Any of our promos can be used to market either your own WWEE skin, or any of the more than 150 sites that are part of the ClickCash family of sites. To do this, simply update the &pSiteCode=iFriends variable to reflect the SiteCode you selected for your WWEE skin. Once you do, all click-throughs on that promo will automatically resolve to the specified page on your WWEE skin. We recommend that you use one of our unbranded banners to avoid user confusion.
Q:
There is a billing on my credit card or bank account statement from "One ClickCash," or I am otherwise looking to contact "One ClickCash." What can you tell me about this company? (view answer)
A:
The web service One ClickCash is in no way affiliated with ClickCash or any other WebPower-enabled service. The One ClickCash service is an online cash advance service. To receive assistance about your One ClickCash account, or to contact One ClickCash customer service, we would recommend visiting their site directly.
Questions Related to New Features Released in 2009:

I have some domains that I'd like to park and earn commissions from ClickCash. How can I do that? (view answer)

Q:
Does ClickCash offer any sort of electronic method of payment so that I can receive my commissions faster? (view answer)

With FX, you are issued a prepaid Visa/ATM debit card onto which your commissions from ClickCash are electronically loaded. You may then use your FX card just like a normal Debit Card. With FX, you eliminate the hassles of printed checks and receive your commissions quickly and easily. For more information about WebPowerFX®, just visit the WebPowerFX® FAQ.

Questions Related to New Features Released June 2008:
Q:
I noticed that when I direct traffic through my ClickCash links, the contents of the cookie are encrypted. Are there any tools available to view it? (view answer)
A:
As a safety precaution to deter malware from attempting to hijack your ClickCash cookie (or other mischief), ClickCash cookies are encrypted. When testing and configuring ClickCash links, you may use our new Cookie Viewer utility to examine the contents of the cookie.
Other Questions:
Q:
I'm a ClickCash affiliate who has created my own skin of the iFriends platform. How can I ensure that when I drive traffic to my skin, any joins are properly tracked and credited in my ClickCash reporting? (view answer)
A:
Joins are tracked and credited automatically provided that you have specified a value for SiteCCAcctCode in the Global Settings on the WWEE Customization Platform.
Q:
Can I use email, instant-message (IM), newsgroup, or AOL "Buddy" spams to promote ClickCash sites? (view answer)
A:
ABSOLUTELY NOT. As the Marketing Agreement states clearly in the first paragraph, "spam is forbidden". (The transmisson of UCE -- unsolicited commercial email -- violates the AUPs -- acceptable use polices -- of virtually all internet service providers.) ClickCash Members who engage in such spam are automatically cancelled.
Q:
I think I observed a ClickCash affiliate spamming. Who do I tell? (view answer)
A:
You may contact our Abuse Team directly. Include a copy of the spam, including full headers.
Q:
I own the 'typo'/'misspell' domain name BritneySprs.com . Will ClickCash accept traffic from that domain? (view answer)
A:
In general, ClickCash accepts traffic from all sources, provided those sources comply with the terms of the ClickCash Marketing Agreement, abide by all applicable laws, do not infringe upon the rights of others, and are not conduits for SPAM/UCE. However, in certain circumstances where innocent minors may inadvertently reach the websites of individuals who own 'typo'/'misspell' domain names that might attract traffic from minors, such as "BritneySprs.com", "madona.com", or "whitehouse.com", and those sites in turn forward to explicit adult content or other objectionable content that some may argue is harmful to minors, and ClickCash becomes aware of such links, ClickCash will not honor such traffic. Click here to contact us with any questions.
Q:
When do I get my money? (view answer)
A:
Commissions are issued weekly, on the first business day of each week, reflecting the immediately-preceding Sunday-Saturday evaluation period. (No lags!) Checks are issued via Federal Express or via first-class mail to the account holder's payee address, as entered on the account creation form, or in the case of iFriends' video hosts, to the account information maintained with iFriends. WebPowerFX payouts go to the card linked to the affiliate/video host account who earned the commissions. Direct Deposit payouts go to the bank account on file for the affiliate account who earned the commissions.
Q:
Are refunds and/or chargebacks ever taken from my PPS commissions? (view answer)
A:
Never. ClickCash pays you the full PPS commission even if the customer you refer to a ClickCash site like iFriends later charges back or demands a refund. (Of course, ClickCash reserves the right to terminate the account of any webmaster who produces unusually high chargeback rates or refunds, but such notice of termination would be received by you after you've already been paid.)
Q:
It's been a few weeks, and I haven't received my commission payout yet, as indicated on my Stats Page. What should I do? (view answer)
A:
First, check your configurable "minimum payout" account setting - your weekly commissions are not issued until this minimum has been reached. If you receive commissions via check, allow up to ten business days for first-class mail in the continental U.S. (20 business days for Canada/Mexico/Overseas). Second, check the mailing address information we have on file for your account. If everything checks out, contact our ClickCash Accounts Payable Staff using our contact form and advise them that you have not yet received your check. Include your ClickCash account code for identification/verification, *AND* include the expected date and amount of the missing check. You will receive a prompt reply.
Q:
How can I verify and examine, in real time, the traffic moving from my site to the ClickCash web site? (view answer)
A:
Easy: Just visit the real-time stats page, where you can examine traffic and check your account balance up to the very second!
Q:
So how do you read the real-time stats? What information is included on them? (view answer)
A:
Just follow this link and you'll find all the information you'll need on how to read your real-time stats, and where to go to find out any information you'd like about all aspects of your traffic, from click-through ratios to how well your referral webmasters are doing in their promotion of the service.
Q:
What can I do to maximize the number of visits from my site to yours? (view answer)
A:
Keep it Fresh! Every few days, pick a different promotion from our recently-added creative or select different promos from among our ever-growing creative library. Our studies show that once visitors to your site have seen the same link, banner or other creative just three times, response drops off dramatically. You can also use our dynamic real-time banners to keep things fresh and lively on your site.
Q:
Where can I get new creative materials (banners, skyscrapers, flash movies,etc) to post on my site? (view answer)
A:
Visit our Latest Promos gallery to see the newest editions by our creative team. If you're RSS-savy, you may subscribe to our Latest Promos RSS Feed
Q:
Can I create my own custom text links, full-page ads, etc? (view answer)
A:
Yes. ClickCash gives you two options: 1.) you can select from hundreds of different banners and other creative materials in our creative library which ClickCash serves and tracks for you (we even tell you which of the creative you choose get higher clickthrough rates than others through our Editor's Choice gallery), or 2.) You can create your own custom link syntax, using your own text link or graphics, using our easy-to-follow Custom Creative guide.
Q:
I understand that ClickCash is very strict in how its affiliates use the syntax. Is this true? (view answer)
A:
Yes, because when you use the pre-made promotional creative that ClickCash serves from its own servers, any changes to the link syntax could prevent us from being able to correctly track your click-throughs and sign-ups! When you host your own banner, text links, full pages, etc, you are free to customize your ClickCash link to your heart's content, and to the extent that your marketing complies with the ClickCash Marketing Agreement. We also require that your advertisements not be deceptive and that they promote ClickCash sites like iFriends in the same spirit as observed in our canned banners and other official promotions. (See the ClickCash Marketing Agreement for more information).
Q:
I've seen another version of the ClickCash linking code, referenced at the bottom of pages like http://www.ifriends.net. Is there a difference between that syntax and the official link syntax that includes the "SetPermanentCookie.cgi" code? (view answer)
A:
No, there's no functional difference whatsoever between the two link URLs. The shorter version ("http://secure.WebPower.com/Refer.cgi...") is a newer "alias" version of the long-form link, and was provided for the convenience of affiliates who prefer shorter URLs. Both the shortform link and longform link have identical tracking.
Q:
How long has ClickCash been around? And how much is your total payout? (view answer)
A:
ClickCash began life in mid-1996, and was the first pay-per-click website affiliate program ever offered on the internet. Tens of thousands of webmasters participate, and payouts total in the tens of millions of dollars. ClickCash's sponsor, WebPower, Inc., on the web since 1995, has been involved in the design and operation of successful commercial internet services such as iFriends (Internet Friends Network).
Q:
How can I contact your support team? (view answer)
A:
You'll find our contact info on our contacts page. You may also send us a message immediately via our contact form. This is examined continously throughout the day. Please be sure to include your account name in all e-mail to ensure a prompt response.
Q:
How do I cancel and cash out my balance? (view answer)
A:
We hate to see our affiliates leave us! In order to close your account, you may contact us via our handy online contact form. Please reference your account code and the reason for the closure of your account. A final payout, closing out your balance, will be issued to you and mailed following the regularly weekly payout cycle.
Q:
I forgot the password to my ClickCash account. How can I retrieve it? (view answer)
A:
Visit our Password Retrieval Facility to use the password reminder question and answer that you selected to obtainyour password.
Q:
When I try to log into my ClickCash account, I get the following error:
"Account is not on file, has been cancelled, the password is incorrect, or account is not active."
Why am I getting this error? How do I log into the site? (view answer)
A:
Have you activated your account yet? You will be unable to log into your ClickCash account until you activate it using the activation link that was included in the welcome e-mail you received at sign-up. (If you did not receive a welcome email message, try registering a new account using a different email address). If you have already activated your account, make certain the password is correct. You can use the on-line password retrieval utility to verify your password at any time.
Q:
The $50 sign-up bonus is not showing up in my account. Where is it? (view answer)
A:
There is only one sign-up bonus per person, so you will receive the bonus only on the first ClickCash account you establish. The sign-up bonus will appear in your real-time stats once you have both activated your account and completed the payee information for your ClickCash account. If you are an iFriends video host, establish a separate ClickCash account to obtain the bonus.
Q:
I see the $50 sign-up bonus in my stats. When is this paid out? (view answer)
A:
The $50 sign-up bonus is paid out once your account has generated $250 in ClickCash commissions. At that point, your sign-up bonus is automatically released and is included with your next ClickCash commission payout.
Q:
Are my ClickCash earnings taxable? Do I have to report them? (view answer)
A:
ClickCash is not licensed to provide individual tax or financial planning advice. However, we urge you to recognize your income from ClickCash in accordance with all tax laws in your state, country or other jurisdiction. As a responsible corporation, ClickCash complies with all reporting requirements. For further information, please consult with a qualified tax professional who is familiar with your individual circumstances.
Q:
Can I use content I find on iFriends to promote the iFriends site through ClickCash? (view answer)
A:
You are welcome to use material you find on iFriends in your ClickCash promotions, provided you meet all of the following conditions:
  1. The material is used solely for the purpose of promoting iFriends.
  2. The display of any explicit material is limited to adults-only areas of your service or promotion.
  3. You either obtain the video host's permission or select one of the many video hosts who have not indicated any "privacy block zones". These are video hosts who have not indicated that certain zips, states, or countries be prevented from seeing their iFriends content. It's very easy to identify those video hosts who do not have any privacy block zones in place. Simply follow this link to see an example of the notation that will appear at the bottom of the profile page and any archive page (image or video clip archives) for each video host who does not have any privacy zones in place. This displays as a text box at the bottom of the page that will say "This content is ClickCash-complaint". You may also follow this link to see a listing of those hosts currently logged into the iFriendsV2 family of sites.
  4. In the event any video host objects, for any reason, to the display of any content related to the video host, you must promptly remove the offending content to the video host's satisfaction.
Q:
I need to change the information you have on file for my account. Where can I do that? (view answer)
A:

Do you accept traffic from TGP sites? (view answer)
