A 'Place Holder' banner appears (default Flash banner or custom made) on your blog and prompts the reader/advertiser to start advertising. The size of the banner, it's location on the page, the price of the 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. 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 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 "Web Master Code" which allows publishers to upload test banners / ads or give away 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 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 ads no charge is made to the advertiser. 3 days prior to the expiration of the ads, an automatic email goes out to the advertisers prompting them to renew the ads by submitting new banners. = The Control Panel: = All aspects of the Komoona tool can be controlled and modified from the Control Panel.
