You can further boost your visibility with our many NexAds options.

Your NexAds page allows visitors to comment or contact you via the options on your page, allowing for easy interactions with interested users.

Answer
The NexusBar is displayed on your site and randomly rotates a display of links of every member site on our roster. It is the powering engine that makes you a part of the Nexus system.
Answer
The NexusBar is a single, discreet row of links that appears at the bottom of your site. You can configure it to integrate to the look of your site according to the colors you choose for your NexAds in your NexAd Control panel. This allows you to style it in a way that is complimentary to your site. See the bottom of our page to view our Planet Nexus NexusBar in action.
Answer
When a user hovers over the links on the NexusBar, a tooltip appears with the same text that you provide for your dynamic ads. In effect, this puts not only your link, but your ad on every other subscriber board in the system. Your participation in NexAds allows you to promote your site in many locations at once, with easy and simple updating as desired. You provide a compelling ad, and the system spreads your message for you.
Answer
Your blurb appears on the top of your NexAds page and is a way to get a short message out quickly and easily. You can update your blurb at any time in your NexAds Control Panel. Users can comment on your blurbs in your comment block. You can also link to your MyPage where your Blurb is published, or you may use the Blurb feed link or imbed code to promote your Blurb on your site.
Answer
Any visitor to your page can add a comment by providing a valid email address. Any one who has a Gravatar will see it displayed by their comment by using their gravatar email address. You can obtain a free gravatar by signing up for one at Gravatar.com.
Answer
Spam comments will never appear on your page unless you approve them. When you see you have a notification that new comments are waiting, go to the Comments section of your NexAds Control Panel and click the Moderate Comments button. The panel that opens will give you options to Edit, Approve, Disapprove, or Delete individual comments waiting for approval or already posted to your page. You also have the option to turn off commenting at any time.

As a NexAds subscriber, one of your perks is that you can easily install a link to the Contact form on your own website.

Your Contact form comes equipped with the same enhanced spammer protection that we use on the NexAds system.
