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?”
