Welcome, this is probably your first experience running the Myturf Localadvertising exchange. We are introducing a new way to advertise withimages and movies on the top web-sites within targeted local areas.Like Google‘s AdSense for text search advertising, but even betterbecause it puts your images and advertising all over your localcommunity. Myturf’s “AdValue” technology platform gives you theability to place full 2D banner images and movie advertising then targetsthe most accessed sites directly in your local area. When we say “local”we mean really “local”, right down to the Building, Event Center, OfficePark, Retail Outlet, Stadium, and Multi-family Units or even intoSubdivisions next to your business. MyTurf has recently introduced thefirst “local” ad exchange connecting local buyers with sellers byintroducing technology used by mobile network carriers and Internetservice providers. Providers can supply inventory and buyers can buydirect using the providers online local ad exchange portals.

2. Setting your browser proxy If your first question is “why do I need to set up my browser to proxy?”The answer is simple; you only need to do this for demonstration purposes. When the Internet provider in your location supplies this functionality “MyTurf-in-network” there is no need to proxy your browser. Thus, the simple way to demonstrate MyTurf’s local ad exchange when you are “out-of-network” is through your browsers proxy settings. You can set it up once then easily turn it on and off with a check box click in the browser settings. Set your browsers proxy address by following the simple steps starting on page three NOW then come back to step three below to continue with setting up your free trial.

Set browser’s Proxy IP Address to proxy.myturfads.com Port 8199 

Note: Setting a proxy address in your browser does nothing more than allow your internet traffic to be accessed through a remote server. Once it’s set-up it typically only takes a check box click to enable and disable.

“Even if our network has not reached your area, use this simple proxy

set- up guide to experience the world’s

first online local ad exchange”

Please see setting your browser Proxy on page 3

3. Setting up your Free Trial Now that you have your browser’s proxy set up (proxy points to the MyTurf “AdValue” platform), just click on any MyTurf Ad you see while browsing the Internet. Since our coverage of the top web-sites is so prevalent it won’t take long for you to see one of our ads! Note to Advertisers… these could be your ads! Once you have selected andclicked on one of the MyTurf Banner ads you will be placed on our free trial offer lander page. In order to get you started just fill in the accountinformation follow the wizard instruction steps to set up your free trial.The process will ask for your credit card number in order to sign up for your free trial. If you enter your credit card now, re-enabling more ads outside your trial will be simpler. Your card will not be charged for the $750 offer, this is our way of saying thanks for checking us out. If you like the results, you can simply auto-renew the campaigns you have already set-up, or purchase new ones.

“Your Free Trial consists of 80,000 ads placed on the top web-sites viewed in your local area and is

valued at $750”

4. Selecting your location Now that you have got an account set up the ad manager wizard will askyou to select a geo-targeted location where your ads will appear.MyTurf’s local ad exchange software allows you to select all kinds of“Places”. Not just city wide DMA, states or countries but real places likeevent centers, neighborhoods, business parks or medical facilities in yourarea.

For the purpose of demonstration there are a few things you should know that are different. First, the ad package on the free trial is “live” and so are the locations! Use the demo Proxyserver-8199 location so your ads are seen only by you. Once you have campaigns upload your free trial does allow you to publish into live locations. Second, for you to demonstrate the platform in your own browser, make sure you select the location called “Proxyserver-8199” from the list of locations in the section called “manage your ad packages. To see your ads directly Make sure you select the following location when prompted to select a location.

Proxyserver-8199

If you select other locations your ads will be published live into those areas! By using the proxy server location “Proxyserver-8199” your ads will only be seen by you. But, feel free to publish ads “LIVE” in other places on the locations listing, use your free trail ads and bring new business into your business!

Note: All advertising published must meet the IAB standards prior to going live and will be delayed for review. Campaigns usually qualify in a matter of hours after you publish so keep your proxy enabled!

“When prompted to select a location during

your initial set-up use the location called

Proxyserver-8199 to see your ads live”

6. Resetting your browsers Proxy Please don’t forget to “de-select” your browsers proxy settings after you see your ads placed and finish with this demonstration. Your browsers will continue to function just fine with the proxy address set up although because you are running your Internet through a single demonstration server, your Internet response time may be slower.
