The New Button Exchange - PLEASE Read

[themomblogs]

ok - this is hopefully going to help so that I don't need to keep answering the same questions :-)  I think my answers are getting overlooked in the long string of responses on the initial thread.

First - Please be sure to follow the rules for signing up for the button exchange at http://www.themomblogs.com/traffic/  If you follow them, you shouldn't have any issues :-)

1. If you use blogger/blogspot... Their blog script messes up the coding that is automatically provided by our system - SO, as we state in the rules and on the front page of the button exchange sign up... you need to ONLY use the part of the code that starts with<iframe> and ends with </iframe>   If you insert the code and you DON"T see it on your site it is because you didn't remove the part of coding that needs to be removed.  This is a BLOGGER issue.   Please make sure that you see the code after inserting it - if you don't then it was inserted wrong.

2. If you don't see your name in the directory it is because of one of these reasons.
  A.  you didn't insert your blog name in the Alt Tag when you uploaded your 125 x 125 button ad.  You can log into your account and modify your ad to put in the Alt Tag. (up to ONLY 8 words per our rules/steps in signing up)
  B.  you haven't uploaded your 125 x 125 button ad into your account.  PLEASE follow the instructions that are provided on the page where you sign up at http://www.themomblogs.com/traffic/   The requirements are that is HAS to be 125 x 125 pixels and under 20k in file size.  If it uploaded correctly you will see your button in your account.
  C.  We manually approve accounts and it can take up to 1 day.  If you provided the Alt Tag when you uploaded your button and the coding is on your site, your site will show up in the directory once approved.  Right now there are 61 accounts in queue and we have checked and triple and sometimes quadruple checked these accounts and none can be approved because there isn't a button ad uploaded or the coding is not on the site for the buttons that HAVE been uploaded.   This is taking alot of time.

Also - remember that the coding you put on your page needs to be in the upper 1/2 of your page - per the rules.

Thanks!!!

I am pretty new to this site & want to make sure I'm not in violation of your code-rules.  I am with blogger. Could someone let me know if I violated any codes? I want to respect the rules, I'm just very internet-(un) savvy.  Thank you, LeadHership

Just an FYI- I am on Blogger. I have removed the iframe code and I still can not get the button to show up on my page. I am not sure if anyone else is having issue, but that may be why people keep asking you questions about it.

Mine is working fine...if you want to take a look it is under the monogrammed button.  You don't remove the i frame code...you remove everything except the iframe code...you want everything inbetween the iframe including the iframes...does that make sense?

I joined it and have it up on my contest blog. Thanks for this. It's awesome.

Has anyone actually seen my ad (Mommy Confessions) on the exchange. It's working now, but I never see my own blog ad. I've seen a lot of the other women on here, but never my own.

[themomblogs]

Yes - I have seen it on a few sites.  Also, you would never see your own button on your own site, that would be a waste of an impression for your site.

Oh, that's good to know.
