We have just launched phase 1 of the new credit allocation system to get the transition process started. The way the new system works is quite simple. In the past you would assign a minimum credit limit to stop everything that could take a credit away from your account.
How this has changed now is instead of having 1 global limit and pretty much no control over where the credits are being allocated, you can now tell us where you want your credits spent. You can allocate credits to all the services on BlogMad - the surfbar, banners, textlinks and VARB. Once a certain allocation runs out, your blog will stop being displayed in that service and you will need to top up that allocation in order to resume as per normal.
We have also made it easier for you to assign the credits you are earning to a blog. This means that while you are passively earning credits on services such as textlinks, they are directed toward your blogs in a split that you have defined. You can have 20% go toward blog 1 and 80% toward blog 2. This means that you won’t have to check up on the allocation everyday and the system keeps itself running.
The spending priorities are the same as usual, you give your blog a value from 1-10 and the one with the higher number will receive the majority of the traffic in a ratio relevant to your other blog priorities.
Please note that the credits you allocate to the different services are immediately deducted from your account and put aside for the specific allocation you have set. Eg. if you assign 100 credits to surf bar and 15 to text links, 115 credits will be removed from your account.
