The IOWNIES Link Exchange is a network of IOWNIES members who run their own Affiliate Marketing website using our innovative web site software. The system works by awarding credits for each link shown on your web site, and deducting credits for each time your site is shown on a website. The system prevents cheating by only awarding and deducting credits per unique visitor, per day. Therefore the system is most rewarding to the sites who attract the most unique visitors rather than those who receive a few visitors who refresh the page over and over again.

 

The IOWNIES Link Exchange is a competition, in that, the more popular your site becomes the more it will be shown on other members' websites. This encourages Link Exchange members to promote their websites and encourage traffic in order to earn enough credits to always be shown in the Link Exchange.

 

If your credits run out, your site temporarily stops being shown in the Link Exchange. As soon as you receive another unique visitor, you earn more credits and your site becomes active once again. Remember, each credit is worth one impression on another member's website.

 

Because it can be difficult for new sites to become regular active members in the Link Exchange, we offer the ability to purchase credits in the system. Purchasing credits ensures that your site will continue to stay active in the Link Exchange and be shown across other members' websites even if you are not receiving a large amount of unique visitors to your site.

 

Your credits will be applied to your account after verification of your payment, usually within 24 hours.
