How does Komoona work?

After Installing/downloading the plugin you'll need to go to the 'Settings' menu in your Dashboard and click the 'Komoona Ads' plugin - then perform the following steps:

1. Provide your email (it will also use as your username) and choose a password
2. Set the Size of your banners
3. Set the Price of the banners
4. Choose Currency used for sold banners
5. Choose the Language of the Ad Wizard
6. Choose the way you bill the advertiser fo the banners - use your own PayPal Merchant account or use Komoona billing (for a small fee)
7. Accept the terms of service.

Your account is now created!

The next step is to click 'Widgets' (under the 'Appearance' menu in the dashboard) and Drag and drop the 'Komoona ads' widget from the 'Available Widget' area to the 'Widget' area and click 'save'.

A 'Place Holder' banner appears (default Flash banner or custom made) on your blog and prompts the reader/advertiser to create or upload a banner and start advertising. The size of the banner, banner location on the page, the price of the banner ads and the banner design are all customized by the publisher via his Control Panel (review below)

When a reader/advertiser clicks the 'Place Holder' banner the main Komoona tool launches, the advertiser chooses to upload an existing banner or create new banner ads.

Uploading ads is done by locating the file the advertiser wants to use as his banner. CREATING ads lets the advertiser get creative and build a banner from scratch.

Komoona offers a few neat banners / templates and gives publishers the option of creating their own custom banner template in their Control Panel.

Once the banners /ads are ready, the advertiser goes on to the final stage which is choosing how long he wants to buy the banner / ad space for and choosing a payment method.

Currently advertisers can pay for the ads via Credit Card or PayPal. There is also a third option in the drop down menu "Webmaster Code" which allows publishers to upload test banners / ads or give away banner ads without having to pay for them.

Once the payment was made an instant email notification goes out to both the advertiser and the publisher. The email notifies them of the new banner ads and asks the publisher to review the banner and either accept (publish = make money) or decline it.

If the publisher chooses to decline the banner ads no charge is made to the advertiser. 3 days prior to the expiration of the banner ads, an automatic email goes out to the advertisers prompting them to renew the ads by submitting new banners.

All aspects of the Komoona tool can be controlled and modified from the Control Panel. Set up Komoona to best fit your site and audience and monetize your traffic.
