Promotion Just Became Part Of The Game ?

Something exciting has been quietly growing behind the scenes at Zaney Clicks.

What started as a simple idea has quickly turned into something MUCH bigger than we originally imagined.

The Scavenger Hunt is officially launching this Sunday — and we wanted to take a moment to explain what it is, why we created it, and how YOU can become part of it.

What Is The Zaney Clicks Scavenger Hunt?

The Scavenger Hunt is a community-wide promotional event where members place special banners, text ads, splash pages, widgets, peel ads, and other promotional tools across traffic exchanges, mailers, blogs, websites, and promotional pages.

Members then HUNT for them.

When they find them, they can claim them.

Simple?
Yes.

But behind that simple idea is something much bigger.

This hunt is for ALL members — and ALL sites across TEland.
If you can promote on it, you can hide a hunt item on it.

Why We Created This

For a long time, many of us have noticed something happening in TEland.

People are surfing… but many are no longer REALLY seeing the ads.

Banner blindness.
Auto-clicking.
Ignoring text ads.
Never experimenting with different ad types.

We wanted to create something that:

  • encourages members to LOOK again
  • rewards visibility and creativity
  • teaches better promotion habits naturally
  • helps members experiment with banners, splashes, widgets, and text ads
  • creates fun interaction across the community
  • gives ALL members a chance to participate

And honestly?
The early testing has already been exciting.

Members are slowing down.
People are noticing banners again.
Members are talking about ad placement and visibility.
People are experimenting with promotion styles.

That is EXACTLY what we hoped for.

YES — This Includes FREE Members Too ?

This part is VERY important.

The Scavenger Hunt is for ALL members.

Not just upgraded members.
Not just sponsors.
Not just featured members.

If you are a member of Zaney Clicks… you can participate.

And your promotions matter too.

One of the goals behind this system is to help ALL members:

  • get more visibility
  • learn better promotion habits
  • experiment with different ad types
  • have fun while promoting
  • become more active in the community

Because good promotion should not only belong to upgraded members.

We want free members to feel INCLUDED too.

ALL Promotion Types Count

This is not just about banners.

The Scavenger Hunt encourages members to explore MANY different promotion styles.

That includes:

  • Banner Ads
  • Text Ads
  • Splash Pages
  • Widgets
  • Peel Ads
  • Feature Pages
  • Blog Promotions
  • Creative Promo Pages
  • Rotators
  • Custom Event Pages

Different ad types perform differently on different sites.

Part of the fun is testing, experimenting, learning, and seeing what gets noticed.

How The Hunt Works

Members place approved hunt promotions around the web.

Other members search for them while surfing, browsing, or promoting.

When a hunt item is found, members can claim it according to the rules.

The system tracks activity, participation, and visibility.

Over time, we’ll be watching:

  • what gets noticed
  • what gets ignored
  • which ad types perform best
  • where people engage most
  • which promotions create curiosity and clicks

This helps everyone become BETTER promoters.

This Is Bigger Than A Contest or Game

Honestly?

This is not just another weekly contest or game

This is becoming:

  • a teaching tool
  • a visibility system
  • a promotion experiment
  • a community activity
  • a way to help members THINK differently about advertising

Instead of asking:
“Can I get credits from this?”

We’re hoping members begin asking:
“Does this actually get noticed?”

That shift matters.

Final Thoughts

This project has already become something really special.

Watching members slow down, notice ads again, experiment with promotion, and actually TALK about visibility and engagement has honestly been exciting.

And the best part?

We’re just getting started.

So whether you are:

  • a long-time promoter
  • a free member
  • a banner creator
  • a splash page addict ?
  • someone testing new ideas
  • or someone just curious about the hunt

…there’s a place for you in this.

Start promoting.
Start hunting.
Start experimenting.
Start being SEEN.

Woooooooooooohoooooooooo ?
