When I created ePayTraffic.com Manual Traffic Exchange site and online business I looked beyond the ease of earning money from people viewing advertising and building an affiliate team.
I learned as much as possible about affiliate marketing. I focused on the enjoyment of surfing on manual Traffic Exchange(TE) sites, collecting things, competing for rewards and building relationships. Collaborating efforts and creating synergy is always a high priority.
If you are not a member of ePayTraffic TE site you can click the image below to create an account.
Clicking the above image opens the following url

When you create an account you get your own referral link similar to the following with your unique id.

With ePayTraffic, you can purchase a Collaborative Adverting service where your unique affiliate id is added to the collaborative advertising rotator that I advertise at no additional cost. Your id stays in the rotator for a minimum of one year.
When you login your account on ePayTraffic, you will see the Member Rewards menu link on the left side of the page. The following image is a snippet for an account I use for testing. The account username is newmember so lets take a closer look at recent changes using this testing account.
Only minimal changes will be made to the underlying script for ePayTraffic.com as part of the web2 to web3 integration. My focus is going forward but not ignoring the past. For example, the way the TE script tracks rewards is handled as commission and the database sales table would need updating to manage a more sophisticated reward system.
Learn Before You Earn anything
Well, I practice what I preach. After learning much about Hive I started a journey of exploring how I would convert ePayTraffic rewards to tokens on Hive. So first, let me share a bit of the learning process.
In the above image and link I show that I am able to retrieve content from Hive. This was made possible with the help of 
The following was created by having a chat with Claude. I made requests and the AI provided code. I tested the code in my localhost environment and then uploaded to my production server.

Now, ePayTraffic members can login to the ePayTraffic Rewards system using the same login credentials to access their earned rewards from the TE site.
I included a 125x125 pixel banner advertising zone. The 4 banner ads are random based on assigned credits.
Free Advertising
Reply to this blog with a banner image link and a url to what you want advertised and I will set it up with 100 advertising credits. One credit is one view. Don't forget to include your ePayTraffic username
ePayTraffic Reward Portal
When you login, your reward summary is filtered to the current day. If you remove the filters you will see that the commission value matches the Member Rewards report from ePayTraffic TE site.
I also added an Admin Message link to help communicate changes along our integration journey.
ePayTraffic Trade

The above Dashboard is for our test account, newmember where you can compare the rewards for both systems.
The Trading System idea is being replaced with this new ePayTraffic Reward Portal. Along this process improvement journey, I will need help from PEPT community subscribers that can take on various roles to help leverage much potential from practicing a Plan-Do-Check-Act personal development ethos.
Currently, the reward portal has member and admin role. By adding the manager role I can set you up so you can create banner ad campaigns. Let me know if your ok to give it a go and see what unfolds.
I expect that the manager role can help with the conversion and transfer process for ePayTraffic Member Rewards to EPAY tokens on Hive.
Time for another task. Please do not hesitate to share your thoughts and/or ask questions.
May Positive pepEntropy be with all Hivers.
