Not necessary. First, it could be geared towards the big name marketers. Cause they're the ones that are willing to pay for advertising. And there were times, that of some of the programs' dilemma was that they had too many free members. So it could work both ways.

Besides, we could also do some team work in here in the forum whereas in order for us to cash out, two of our downline members could purchase some advertising and we could then reimburse them for what they paid for, thus a win-win situation for everyone.

Yes, and the click ratio might also be better on a splash page. Sometime it could also be distracting if a page has too many ads, banners and texts in it, etc.

This is a philosophy I've always disagreed with in marketing (I hope I'm not about to step on your toes but I feel it needs to be said). As marketers, our first obligation is to our customer. The reason for this is if we are offering them something that doesn't pay off for them, they will soon look for something better that does.

We need to be focused on giving our advertisers banner space that sells their opportunity. It may not be in prime real estate (defined as the space a surfer sees the instant they land on your page) but it should also not be buried at the bottom of a 200,000 word  script if we are being honest.

There is nothing more frustrating to me as a banner advertiser than going to a web page and seeing my banner displayed at the bottom of a page. That tells me the guy is not very interested in my business and only wants to give my views to the few people who bother to read through everything he is selling before he is willing to tell them who is paying for all that

I hope I am not offending but that is just the way I see it. If you are going to sell banner space and want to take money for selling banner space then respect the guy that is putting food on your table

Here is an idea:

We could copy the sales script for refban onto a splash page and then put the refban banner code on top of that. Then we could show that page in traffic exchanges and PTC sites

It's ok, I'm not offended and obviously my refban banner space is at the top of my homepage..
It's a good location for that purpose as targeted visitors of my site that find me through google will mainly be pointed there.

The advertiser that buys banner impressions through refban is not practically my own customer and I'm at no way
responsible for his own satisfaction. In this case Refban is my customer and the one that I have to satisfy..

Of course I'll get my share if I'm the one pointing him at refban.. and it's my benefit included if he's satisfied so that
I get more shares from his purchases as well.., but refban is the one responsible to check the banner spaces that
we publishers offer to them, and it's up to them to pick the most appropriate places, on compatible sites based
on each site's content. If the content is related to the advertiser's marketing section then he'll most likely get his leads.

But nevertheless it is my priority to point more paid traffic to my refban referral link than to the page where my refban
space lies.. I hope I'm not misunderstood..

Yes, I agree. I think if we can we should try to place the refban banner on top of the page, where it's visible and all. Otherwise, they may check the stats and see if there's too many placed at parts of the page where it's less visible, it could make them more stringent and we wouldn't want that. 

By the way, I've figured out another clue regarding refban..
As we already know, in order for someone to become active, he must fulfill one of these two requirements :

A) Display banners on his website AND refer another ACTIVE referral to refban.com.
B) Purchase banner advertising on refban.com

So if in a downline of let's say 10 people (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J) everyone has already generated
and entered the banner space code on their sites, it only takes J to purchase advertising
and then everyone in the team becomes automatically active..

J becomes active due to the second condition (purchasing)
I becomes active for displaying banners and having referred an ACTIVE member to the site (J).
H becomes active for displaying banners and having referred an ACTIVE member to the site (I).
G becomes active for the same reason... etc for everyone else up to A.

ACTIVE means that all members in the member's upline will get $0.02.

So just by this A will get 9 x $0.02 = $0.18
B will get 8 x $0.02 = $0.16
C will get 6 x $0.02 = $0.12..
...
H will get 2 x $0.02 = $0.04 and
I will get 1 x $0.02 + commission from J's purchase..
