FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(For Pay per Performance program only)
1. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO BE PAID?
You simply register at the STONEDIVER site! As soon as you have registered and if we confirm, you will see confirmation site containing your member ID number. You will use this information every time you log in.
2. HOW DO I RECEIVE MY MONEY?
Once your balance equals $500.00, a check will be mailed to your address.
3. WHY WOULD ADVERTISERS PAY USERS FOR WATCHING ADS?
The average cost of banner advertisements today is $29.00 per 1000 impressions. This approach costs advertisers money regardless of whether the person actually clicks on the banner or is even interested in viewing the ad. The average click-through rate (people who actually click the banner to visit an advertiser's site) is only around 0.3%. This means that for every thousand impressions, only 3 people actually click through the banner to the advertiser's site. In other words, advertisers are paying at least $3.00 for every person who clicks through via the banner.
STONEDIVER is a better option for advertisers. By registering as a member, and providing basic information about yourself, advertisers are able to contact you via email, directory or sponsor banners/links. When a member actively chooses to view a advertisers site, advertisers are certain that they are reaching an interested consumer.
If approved you can host co-branded portal or get xml feed from us. Requirement for xml feed is to have over 300,000 quality searches per month.
4. WHEN DO I GET PAID?
You get paid each month, as long as your account exceeds $ 500.00. If your compensation is under $ 500.00 for a given month, the amount will be transferred to the next month and added to your total.
5. DO I HAVE TO BE BROWSING THE INTERNET TO RECEIVE ADS?
No, you do not have to surf the Internet to receive ads. As long as you host co-branded portal or own a Search Engine, you can receive advertisements through xml feed, directory and revenue through sponsor banners/links!
6. HOW MUCH DO I GET PAID?
It depends on advertisers. Advertisers/Merchants pay members for the initial viewing of an advertisement. They will offer members rates between 0.10 cents and $0.15 per click in pay per click program for clicks on banners and links and much more up to $1.00 in Pay per Performance program for clicks on results.

With the referral program, you can increase your earnings considerably. If you have your friends and family register with STONEDIVER (listing you as their direct referral source), you will earn 9% of their compensation for viewing advertisements. When your friends and family refer others to register to the site, you can still earn an additional 7% for those indirect referrals and 4% for third level referrals.
