Submitting Ads:
HOW DO I ENTER AN AD INTO A CONTEST?
Using the search function you find the contests that you would like to write for. This can include filtering based on industry, etc. Once entering the contest details screen click the write button to enter your ad. There is information such as past ads, landing pages, etc to help you write a better ad.
WHAT ARE THE RULES OF PARTICIPATING IN CONTESTS?
In general it is your best interest to write an ad that will improve performance by looking at past ads and keywords and landing pages associated with the ad group. Slight tweaks to old ads can yield improvements but over time creating more radical ads that go in a new direction are needed to continue to improve performance. Advertisers also have negative keywords that cannot be used in ads and you must follow the Google ad guidelines as well. All ads must be approved by the advertiser before they are entered into the contest.
CAN I USE DYNAMIC INSERTION IN ADS
You are free to use dynamic keyword insertion.
CAN I CHANGE THE DISPLAY URL?
Yes. The root url must stay the same, but you can change the prefix and subdirectory.
DO I HAVE TO PAY TO ENTER A CONTEST?
No. Contest entry is free.
WHY WAS MY AD REJECTED?
Every ad must be approved by the advertiser. Advertisers may reject an ad due to a variety of factors including legal reasons, branding, improper wording, etc. Each rejected ad has a reason for rejection which you can see.
HOW DIFFERENT DOES MY AD HAVE TO BE?
You cannot submit an ad that has been submitted before. Other than that one word changes are allowed. In fact we have seen significant improvement from single word changes in many cases.
HOW CAN I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT A CONTEST?
You can communicate with the advertiser through the Message Board on the “contest details” page.
CAN I HAVE MULTIPLE WRITER ACCOUNTS WITH BOOSTCTR?
No. We require that each writer have one account. There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is that writers who write winning ads score points in our system and will be able to command larger payouts for writing winning ads in the future. If you write from multiple accounts you spread your wins thin and reduce the payouts per win in the future.
