    How do I enable my ads? I've validated my site, and am showing ads, but I am getting no traffic. I think I'm supposed to do something to enable ads, but don't know what.

    You can enable your ads in coop control panel.

    btw, how long have you been in to coop ?

    Hi

    I'm sure that all you experts hate these stupid questions from us impatient newcomers, but...

    I have a similar situation.

    I signed up yesterday. I'm serving adverts fine and have today upgraded to the new php code. My adverts have been approved and are enabled.

    The stats are not showing anything and I've been through my web logs and the only time any of my banners are being served is when I view the coop control panel.

    Is this a normal scenario or should I start troubleshooting for problems.

    Yep, same situation is with me, I've installed everything and ads are served on my websites but I can't understand why my ads are not being served. I tried to look for some information about it in FAQ, but there's not even a word about that.

    Could someone explain that?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm pretty sure it takes a few days for your ads to proliferate through the network, stats are updated daily so if you just joined yesterday then you will have to wait 24 hours.

    Stats can take several days to show up in the charts, patience is a virtue :)

    guess you guys are right. But I've tried to refresh my website hundrets of times just to check whether my link is shown, but unfortunately couldn't find it. Maybe it's because my weight is only 1800...

    there are thousands of sites in the network, and each one can potentially have up to 20 ads each...the chance of you seeing your own ad on your site is close to 0

    Dont keep refreshing your page just look at your ad_network_ads.txt to see if your ad is in there.

    the ad may not be in there either for awhile, due to the large volumn of ads. eventually, sure, probably, but it will take more then just a day or two

    How do I do this? Where is the coop control panel?

    I click "stats" next to my ad, and it says "You Must Authenticate First". What haven't I done?

    I've been working on this service for a few weeks. I got it working (figured out the code had a typo) a couple of days ago.

    Hi

    This is now day 3 and I've checked my web logs and I've served 5 graphic banners today via the co-op, so I know it's working!

    micahtredding, did you click the red "enable" ads above the stats link?
