No need to worry about breaking the ad viewing system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) More mobile friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our previous ad viewer was basically not mobile friendly. It couldn&#8217;t be, due to all the functions. Try viewing an ad in your mobile browser now. ;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Limitation Of &#8216;Direct View Mode&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Popup Blocker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will have to allow popup for LeadsLeap.com. This is a one time effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Detailed Tracking Is Not Possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously we can track everything, even the way the mouse move. But it is not possible now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surfing duration is calculated based on the time when the ad window is open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How We Overcome The Limitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I expect most members to surf with honesty and integrity, I still have to prepare the system for &#8216;opportunists&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest limitation of &#8216;Direct View Mode&#8217; is that someone can open an ad and leave it there for minutes. Since it is not possible to do detailed tracking, the system can only assume that the person is surfing the ad and will continue to credit the person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is your ad, you will jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because with a creditable surfing duration of 3 minutes, if it is your ad, it will cost you 14.4 credits for that 1 visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we were to fully implement &#8216;Direct View Mode&#8217;, this limitation must be resolved. Otherwise many members will frown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our resolution is\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With immediate effect, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>the cost of 1 visit to your credit ad is simply 1 credit!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you hear me right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No more spike in your credit usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t want you to feel upset over sudden loss of credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a hard decision. Previously, 1 visit will consume 1.4 credits on average. Now that we fix 1 credit to 1 visit, our burden has actually increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Change In Credit Earning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we equate credit to visit, credit earning has to be adjusted too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the new credit earning breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For Free Members<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>First 5 sec &gt;<\/strong> 0.2 credit<br><strong>Thereafter &gt;<\/strong> 0.05 credit every 5 sec for up to 1 minute<br><strong>Max credit earned per ad &gt;<\/strong> 0.75 credit<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For Pro Members<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>First 5 sec ><\/strong> 0.4 credit<br><strong>Thereafter ><\/strong> 0.05 credit every 5 sec for up to 1 minute<br><strong>Max credit earned per ad ><\/strong> 0.95 credit<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This means if you are a Pro Member, your exchange ratio can be close to 1:1. Free member&#8217;s exchange ratio can be up to 4:3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a year, we have been testing our &#8216;Direct View Mode&#8217; ad viewer system.
