1) Commission Checks
2) Making The Most of Our Partnership
3) We're Here to Help You Succeed

1) COMMISSION CHECKS
Checks for commissions earned in the 3rd quarter of 2005 have been issued this week. Please be sure to check your referrals and commissions on our partnership site at and contact the help desk if you have any questions or issues.

2) MAKING THE MOST OF OUR PARTNERSHIP
Unfortunately, a large number of our partners are losing potential visitors because they have not set up a banner promoting their site. You must set up a banner in order to make our Top Partners page, be eligible for monthly prizes, and to receive the 20% of ad space on sites you refer.

To set up your banner go to http://partner.ourchurch.com and click the "Banner Admin" link in the menu. If you don't have a 468x60 banner to promote your site we can create a nice one for you for $30, a generic one for $15, or you can make a free one at addesigner.com

A number of partners have uploaded banners but don't have a single click-through this month. Partners, check to be sure you're linking directly to http://www.ourchurch.com Then check to be sure you've set the Base URL correctly in your partnership settings. To do that go to http://partner.ourchurch.com and click the "Update Settings" link in the menu. If those two items are correct, try clicking on the link to OurChurch.Com on your site to give yourself a click-through. Click totals are updated between midnight and 1:00 a.m. EDT, so check the next day to see if your banner appears on the Top Partners list. If not, contact us and we'll help you figure out why you're not getting click-throughs.

3) WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU SUCCEED
If you have any trouble at all setting up your banner in our system or putting our banners or links on your website, don't hesitate to go to our help desk at http:/www.ourchurch.com/support/ and ask us for assistance. We would be happy to help you get things set-up so you can maximize your referrals, commissions, and free advertising. Want some free advice as to how to improve your results? Just ask us to take a look at your site, and we'll offer some helpful suggestions.
