    I dont use it, but I would guess you need to put the link up to actually valiadate your site in the network,

    Excuse me if I am completely wrong.

    Yes you need to put the ads on your site, then you can click the activation/validate link.

    thankyou for your prompt replies. Can you please tell me where to find those adds that i can put on my site? Also if i register with
    http://www.mysite.com/catalog/links.php

    so i only have to display the adds on links.php page right ? does this effects my weight in coop advertising. like this way only 1 page will be displaying the adds and if i register with http://www.mysite.com/catalog/
    then my whole site will be displaying the adds , like on every page. which one is better for me ?

    thankyou

    The coop network wouldn't really do you much good if you only put it on your links page. That would be more of a link exchange. Since the impressions are weighted, the more pages you have displaying the ad's, the more often your ad/link will show up. I really think it will be pointless for you to just put it on 1 page. ;)

    The ads aren't showing on your pages, that's why it's not validating.

    Sorry, without any errors or access to the source, it would need to be done on your end.

    There is one more step--did you do that? I think in overall footer file. One more line to add. Go back and check the instructions. last step

    Don't know if you were talking to me or someone else, but I don't want anyone's passwords. Wouldn't want to be blamed for anything.
