Welcome! You are about to establish one of the best business relationships of your life!

Whether you have purchased a reseller license directly, through an affiliate, other reseller, or auction, there are a few formal steps that are required to establish your relationship officially with BionicTraffic.

The steps that are required are generally as follows:

1) register - this sets up a profile for you

2) sign a contract or two depending on whether you have purchased a website or not.

AFFILIATES

For Affiliates, simply register through the affiliate registration process. Click Here

RESELLERS

1) Register as Reseller - Click Here (If you did not intend to register as a Reseller, please go to the TrafficCentral sponsored node you intended to register at, and register there. You may follow these instructions. To find the node you desire to be a reseller for, please visit the maps at http://TrafficCentral.com .

This process will lead you through to the contract stage normally. If for some reason you have a problem getting to the contract after filling out the registration form, then click here. (Macintosh users seem to not be able to get through the automated process at times, so simply click the prior link after initial registration to get to the contract stage).

At this stage, you should have done two things. First, you completed the reseller registration form, and second signed a basic reseller contract.

2) Sign a Contract - If you did not sign the reseller contract, you must do so in order for your reseller account to be approved. Please stop now and take your time reviewing and completing this important step. Click here to sign a reseller contract.

If you have only purchased a reseller license, you are done for now. You can email the node owner to say hello if you like or wait for the node owner to review and approve (and activate) your reseller login and account. Then you may access the reseller area afterwards.

    Remember this important link to the reseller area: http://swimly.net/reseller/index.php (The main reseller area)

With that link you can access your commission reports and other important information and tools.

RESELLER WEBSITE PURCHASES

3) Sign a TrafficSoldier software license - Each reseller website involves the installation of a website by us or by you. The software templates that we provide are referred to as product name "TrafficSoldier™". Before use or installation, you must sign a license which explains things you can and cannot do with the website. Click Here to sign a TrafficSoldier™ License.

Note: You will note that the page is the same for other contracts, but a separate record for the TrafficSoldier™ license is required.

CHECK LIST

If you have signed both a reseller and/or TrafficSolider™ software license, whatever is appropriate. You are done for now. If you do not receive an email from the node owner in 24 hours, please email them and TrafficCentral® legal at email Legal(at)TrafficCentral.net .


PREPARING FOR YOUR WEBSITE INSTALLATION

A website domain name configured to website hosting is needed for installation of your website. If you do not have a domain name chosen for your website, you may go to http://www.ClaimTheDomain.com, or other registrar service, and hunt for an available domain and register it for fee. The fees at various registrars may vary substantially, but this service is recommended based on quality of service and cost of domain registrations and domain renewals, as well as turn key hosting packages and other useful services. Note that ClaimTheDomain.com is a TrafficCentral® sponsored site and a small profit may be earned by TrafficCentral® or it's representatives for items or services you purchase through ClaimTheDomain.com. ClaimTheDomain™ is also a trademark of TrafficCentral®.

HOSTING FOR YOUR SITE

Once your reseller account is activated, you should order hosting through one of the TrafficCentral® approved and qualified vendors. The list of hosting services that are qualified will be updated over time. At this time, http://www.HostingArts.com and http://www.ClaimTheDomain.com are websites for approved hosting vendors. Various special hosting requirements are demanded by the MUTANT® node technology. Contact your sales person for up to date information about hosting requirements, which will vary over time.

DOMAIN NAME SERVICES

The domain your order should be ordered at your registrar of choice or we recommend http://www.ClaimTheDomain.com , which is run by Doug Ashbaugh, owner of several sites in the TrafficCentral global network. The domains are discounted and you cannot find better quality service on the Internet. The domains are managed indirectly by Wild West Domains, a very reputable and ICANN approved registrar. As noted previously, ClaimTheDomain offers hosting and other services as well.

ONCE YOU HAVE THE DOMAIN REGISTERED

Once the domain is registered, you will be given something called the domain name servers. The Domain Name Servers, or DNS servers, are what tells the entire Internet where to find the host for your domain. It takes a couple days now to broadcast and update that information globally due to the enormous size of the Internet. In general, in the USA, it updates in 24 to 36 hours, but parts of Florida where Doug Ashbaugh lives, and home of TrafficCentral LLC, do not get updated for 72 hours at rare times. There can be a mild delay getting your site on-line simply due to these updates that are beyond the control of this site or TrafficCentral®. You should anticipate a startup time of approximately one week, sometimes longer, before your website(s) ordered are ready and functionally tested by installation technical staff. The installation times will vary and may be shorter or longer due to factors beyond control of all parties involved.

If you are managing your own domain records, you will be emailed the DNS server names to update into your registrar record. You must override or enter the DNS entries and submit the new settings to the registrar to start the process of propagation of the DNS server records related to your domain / website name. Availability of staff to assist you in managing these matter may sometimes be made available to you and may require additional fees.

WHEN DNS IS UPDATED

Your website will be installed on the hosting server identified for your site, tested, and then you will be emailed hosting control panel information as required to manage your site independently or through another qualified website professional.

YOUR RESELLER ID

Your reseller id is coded into your store and it's order link back to the node as an argument. The argument name is 'rid' and you will see an argument in the store link (when you click on the order or pricing link) as something like this ... 'rid=45&otherthings=...' . You will note the pattern 'rid=45' in this URL. The reseller id for this reseller is 45.

COOKIES
As you share your URLs for your site and store with others through legal means of promotion, cookies are set at the visitors browser so that if and when they place and order, you may get credit for the sales. The cookies are generally programmed to expire only after one year unless the consumer deletes or disables them through some mechanism. If you do not understand browser cookies, please research this technical topic through Internet search engines or through alternate qualified web professionals as needed to gain your own level of comfort with the technology and its ability to credit you with sales you have promoted. Generally speaking, while it is possible that some sales may not be credited properly, statistically, an exceptionally high percentage of sales activity you promote through your reseller sites, reseller banners, and affiliate banners (if you have signed up as an affiliate), will set the cookies and may ultimately result in commissions when sales occur by the visitors you have induced to visit your store or this site indirectly.

SUMMARY
You have taken a great step into working with one of the best companies on the Internet. We look forward to your participation. Once your site is on-line, you may start promoting products and services. There are marketing tools and information in the reseller area and your node owner will be glad to help by answering questions for you.
