📘 TRAFFIC ROTATOR – USER GUIDE #

Your Complete Guide to Managing Traffic Rotators #

🎯 What is a Traffic Rotator? #

A traffic rotator distributes clicks evenly across multiple destination links.

Perfect for:

  • Solo ad campaigns with multiple offers
  • Split testing different landing pages
  • Tracking traffic quality from campaigns
  • Fair distribution to multiple partners

Instead of 5 different links, give your vendor ONE link that splits traffic evenly!

🚀 GETTING STARTED #

Step 1: Access Your Dashboard #

Login here: [Your dashboard URL will be provided by your admin]

You’ll need:

  • Your username
  • Your password

➕ CREATING A ROTATOR #

Step 2: Click “Create New Rotator” #

You’ll see a simple form.

Step 3: Fill Out the Details #

A. Rotator Name

Give your rotator a descriptive name:

✅ Good Examples:
"Solo Ad - December Campaign"
"Split Test - Landing Pages A/B"
"Vendor XYZ - 1000 Clicks"

❌ Bad Examples:
"Test"
"Rotator123"
"Untitled"

💡 Tip: Use names that help you remember what each rotator is for!

B. Add Your Destination Links

You must add 2-5 destination URLs.

Link 1: https://myoffer1.com/page1
Link 2: https://myoffer2.com/page2
Link 3: https://myoffer3.com/page3

To add more links:

  • Click the “+ Add Another Link” button
  • Maximum 5 links total

To remove a link:

  • Click the “Remove” button next to it
  • Minimum 2 links required

Step 4: Create Your Rotator #

Click the “Create Rotator” button.

You’ll see:

  • ✅ Success message
  • Your new rotator in the list
  • Your unique rotator link

🔗 USING YOUR ROTATOR #

Your Unique Link #

Each rotator gets a unique link like:

https://yoursite.com/mcr.php?k=ABC12345

This is YOUR link – share it with your traffic vendor!

How to Use It #

Give this link to:

  • Solo ad vendors
  • Banner ad campaigns
  • Email blast services
  • Any traffic source

Example message to vendor:

"Please send 1,000 clicks to this link:
https://yoursite.com/mcr.php?k=ABC12345"

How It Works #

When someone clicks your link:

  1. They’re instantly redirected to one of your destinations
  2. The system rotates clicks fairly between all links
  3. Click is tracked with full details
  4. Statistics update automatically

Example with 3 links:

  • Click 1 → Link 1
  • Click 2 → Link 2
  • Click 3 → Link 3
  • Click 4 → Link 1 (starts over)
  • Continues rotating…

Result: Each link gets equal traffic! ✅

🧪 TEST MODE vs LIVE MODE #

Test Mode 🧪 #

What it does:

  • Allows unlimited clicks from same IP
  • Perfect for testing
  • You can click yourself multiple times
  • No duplicate blocking

When to use:

  • Testing your links work
  • Showing clients how it works
  • Before launching campaign

Live Mode ✅ #

What it does:

  • Each IP can only click ONCE
  • Blocks duplicate IPs
  • Prevents fraud
  • Production ready

When to use:

  • Real campaigns
  • Paid traffic
  • After testing is complete

How to Switch to Live #

When you’re ready for real traffic:

  1. Find your rotator
  2. Click the “Go Live” button
  3. Confirm the action
  4. Status changes to: ✅ Live Mode

⚠️ Important: Once live, each IP can only click once. Don’t go live until you’re ready for real traffic!

DON’T Do These Things: #

2. Don’t Share Links Publicly

❌ Could attract bot traffic
❌ People might click repeatedly
❌ Share only with trusted vendors

3. Don’t Edit Active Campaigns

❌ Wait until campaign ends

4. Don’t Ignore Quality Scores

❌ Low scores = bad traffic
❌ Demand refunds when needed
❌ Block bad vendors

🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING #

“My link shows a blank page” #

Possible causes:

  • Rotator is paused or archived
  • Wrong link (typo in key)
  • Link incomplete

Fix:

  • Verify rotator is active
  • Check you copied full URL
  • Try creating new test rotator

“Says ‘Already Clicked'” #

This means:

  • Rotator is in Live mode ✅
  • Your IP already clicked once ✅
  • System is working correctly! ✅

Fix:

  • This is normal in live mode
  • Use different browser/device to test
  • Or ask vendor to test

“No country data in report” #

This means:

  • Viewing old clicks (before system update)
  • Only NEW clicks show countries

Fix:

  • Send new test traffic
  • New clicks will show full data

“Quality score shows 0” #

This means:

  • No country data captured yet
  • All clicks are old (pre-update)

Fix:

  • Wait for new traffic
  • New clicks will calculate score

“Traffic Quality button doesn’t appear” #

Try:

  1. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+R)
  2. Reload page
  3. Try different browser
