How does this free scuba banner exchange work?
You earn points for showing banner ads on your website. Your points are deducted when your banner ads are shown on other websites. This banner exchange project is free to all companies in the scuba industry.

What are points used for and how do I earn them?
In order to have your banner ads shown on other websites that are part of our banner exchange network, you must have points. You receive points for the banner ads you show on your website and for referring new members to UnderwaterAds.org. Login to view your points balance on the Control Panel. Note: Larger banner ads (ie: 728x90 Leaderboard ads) are worth more points than smaller ads.
-
Can I choose which ads to display on my website?
Yes. Login, then click 'Exclude Specific Ads or Categories.' on the Control Panel. You may exclude specific ads or all ads in a certain category. If you exclude an entire category, all existing and future ads in that category will be excluded.

What websites can I see the ads on?
-
What size banner ads should I create?
We suggest you create a banner ad that matches all of the sizes we support (Leaderboard: 728x90, Full Banner: 468x60, Rectangle: 180x150). That way your banner ads have the chance of being displayed on all of the websites in our network. For example, if you only create a Leaderboard ad, then your banner will only show up on websites that have decided to add the Leaderboard size code on their website. Webmasters will usually only add our banner code in one location on their web pages, using a banner size that fits their website the best. To ensure that your ads are displayed all over our network, create a banner ad for every size we support.
-
Can I change a banner image or linked web address?
After a banner ad has been approved, you can not change the banner image or linked web address (URL). You can only change the status of the ad (ie: Active or In-Active). However, you may submit an entirely new banner ad with a different image and linked web address...we'll review the new ad and approve if accepted. You are allowed to submit an unlimited number of banner ads.
-
How do I delete a banner ad?
For reporting and tracking purposes, you can not delete a banner ad once it's been approved or submitted for review. However, you may change the status of the ad to In-Active. Only Active banner ads are displayed on our network.
-
How do I earn points for referring a new member?
You earn points for every member that you refer to UnderwaterAds.org. Login and click 'Account Info' to view your referral link. Send that link to anyone you wish to refer to our website. If they use the link to sign-up, you'll receive an email notification and extra points.
