The exclusive Patent Pending technology that the TrafficQC Traffic Exchange is built upon has a specialized feature that utilizes many factors to make ad distribution fair to all members. The criteria used is based on the member's level of participation in both the Traffic Exchange and the Banner Exchange, the Credits in the members account, the number of sites in the member's account conforming to TrafficCentral guidelines, and the content of the Member's site. Taking these factors into consideration, the system (or system operators) determine the ad distribution "priority level" of each site.

All sites start out at the Consumer level of participation. Based on the measures taken by the member, the site may increase its priority level according to the following guidelines. If, at any time, the member feels that his/her priority level is incorrect, (s)he can notify the administrator via email and request an adjustment.  We will use our best efforts, discretion, and judgment in determining how well a Member's site fits in with other members' sites in a specific Priority Level, and we will attempt to place every Member's site at the highest possible Priority Level, following the guidelines below.  Your Priority Level will change over time as members' sites change and we adjust the Priority Levels accordingly.

Inactive - Level 0 - Sites in a non-approved or inactive state. This can happen if you fail to keep your Member data current. For example, you move your website to a different domain name or you change the location of your Banner. You must update your account by logging into the Customer Back Office located on the Sites. If you fail to do so and either your website or your Banner does not display properly when the Technology attempts to display it to a human visitor, your site will be moved to Level 0 - Inactive Priority. Sites that are malfuntioning, contain illegal or hate information, or have questionable content will never receive approval and will always remain at Inactive status. All malfunctioning, questionable content, or illegal sites in a Member's account will be deactivated or immediately terminated without warning.  Once a site has remained at Inactive status for a period of 30 days, TrafficCentral has the right to remove the site from its database. This level is also used for admin use.

Consumer - Level 1 - Gratuitous level of traffic - This is the level you are placed at if you Purchase traffic or Banner impressions.
