Q: When and how do I get paid?
A: All publishers with account balance of $20.00 or more will get paid by PayPal between the 1st and 5th of every month. Some large publishers may qualify for weekly payments or other payment methods. Please contact us if you would like more information about this.
Q: What advertising methods are available through Apex Gaming Ads?
A: We try to utilize the widest array of the most popular ad formats used across the market today. Currently we can run flash banners and gif, jpg, or png images in ad sizes that include: 728x90, 468x60, 125x125, 300x250, 120x600, 160x600, 200x600, 120x240. We utilize high end servers and an advanced back-end to serve the most relevant ads as fast as possible to your users to increase not only your profit, but the return on investment for the advertisers.
Q: Do you charge for repeated clicks?
A: No. We have systems in place to battle click fraud and only count clicks from the same IP once in a 24 hour period.
Q: Why should I not raise my minimum CPC to riase my profits?
A: In most cases it is best to keep your minimum CPC low because of the way the system is setup. The way we see it is that when advertisers compete, you win, and so do they. Basically, the system has a real time ranking system that allows the advertisers to compete for the top spot on your site, automatically adjusting their current CPC to what it needs to be to be competative. The lower your CPC, the more advertisers you have, the more that compete, and the higher your eCPM goes.
Q: Are there any rules I must follow?
A: We strive to maintain high quality standards with advertisers and publishers, and we need your help by following the below guidelines when using this service. If you fail to meet the below requirments you risk the chance of removal from the service and forfeit all outstanding balance.
- All horizontal ads must be viewable without scrolling, but in any case it is better for you as a publisher to have ads as high on the page as possible.

- Multiple of the same ad format on the same page is not permitted.

- Our ad code may not at any time be placed in auto rotating frames or be automatically reloaded in any form.

- Banners may not be stacked over banners from other ad networks, though you may use ads from other networks.

- Clicking your own ads or asking others to click your ads is prohibited.

- You may not offer incentives to users to click the ads.

- At no time should an Apex Gaming Ads banner be covered or hidden in any way.

- You may not enter in any direct deals with advertisers, bypassing Apex Gaming Ads. Doing so could result in removal from the service and forfeit of all payments due.

- Automated software to generate clicks or views is strictly prohibited.
Advertisers:
Q: What methods may I use to fund my account?
A: You may click on the "[fund]" link above to instantly add PayPal or Credit Card funds to your account. For larger spends you may contact us to arrange a bank wire.
Q: How long until my ads start showing?
A: As soon as you want them to. Once your banners are accepted (usually the same day you add them), you can go ahead and setup a run of network campaign or directly buy ads from sites and your ads will begin shwoing immediately assuming you have sufficient account balance.
Q: Do you charge for repeated clicks?
A: No. We have systems in place to battle click fraud and only count clicks from the same IP once in a 24 hour period.
Q: Why should I not set my maximum CPC to the zone's minimum CPC?
A: In most cases it is best to raise your maximum CPC because of the way the system is setup. The way we see it is that when advertisers compete, both you and the publisher win. Basically, the system has a real time ranking system that allows the advertisers to compete for the top spot on publisher sites, automatically adjusting your current CPC to what it needs to be to be competative. The higher your CPC, the more room you have to compete with, and the higher volume of clicks and conversions you receive.
