Your site must be free of all pop-ups, pop-unders, and console window ads.
The site, defined as the pages on which you wish to sell ad space, must have at least 400 page views or at least 100 unique visitors per day.

Will the ad campaigns be CPM or CPC?
adSportsFocus is currently serving a mix of CPM and CPC ad campaigns. These two ad types will both rotate on every site according to each advertiser's targeting. Publishers may not select the type of ad campaigns.
When and how much will I get paid to run adSportsFocus advertising?
Payments are made the 20th of the month for the previous month. If your balance for the previous month is over $50 and you have provided complete payment information, you will receive payment by PayPal account. Unpaid balances are rolled-over to the next month.
Earnings are variable. Publishers get paid a fixed percentage of the ad rates adSportsFocus charges to advertisers, depending on their payment level. Although we don't disclose the exact revenue share, our goal is to enable publishers to make as much or more than they could with other advertising networks.
Can I have more than one adSportsFocus advertisement per page?
You may place one 468x60 banner per page. These must be the first ad visible on the page without scrolling in any direction.
What does CPM and CPC stand for?
CPM stands for cost-per-thousand-impressions. This type of ad unit pays a certain amount for every thousand times a CPM ad unit is displayed. For example, if a campaign is paying $5.00 CPM and your site displays ad units from that campaign 50,000 times, you will earn $250.00.
CPC stands for Cost-Per-Click. Publisher sites will generate this type of revenue when a viewer clicks on an ad unit paying CPC rates.
How long will it take before you have reviewed my site?

What is source code?

Should I use the same adcode for all of my pages?
You should use one adcode per site. If you have several websites, then you should use different adcodes for each of those websites.
