1. What is the FQuick Network?

Glad you asked! In short, the FQuick Network is a way for forums and FQuick.com to collaborate and have a unique and targeted link exchange. For the members you bring us, we will happily populate your link on makes or vehicles your forums support. The FQuick Network is in beta so look forward to new and exciting features in the future!

2. What are the future plans of the FQuick Network?

We're always looking into the future and welcome ideas from FQuick Network members to help further grow the network we set out to create. In the future, more and more features will be made available to network members to make use of to further promote both their forum's brand and the FQuick.com brand. If you ever have any suggestions, feel free to drop us a line by filling out the FQuick Network Contact Form.

3. Can I have more than one site linked to my account?

At this point in time, you cannot have more than one forum linked to your account. You can, however, have multiple accounts linked to one forum.

1. Where does this "View My FQuick Garage" image show up on my forum?

This unobtrusive image will appear on the postbit template (when you're viewing a thread), member's profile in the contact portion, and on your forum's overall memberlist. Remember, this image will only appear for members who have linked their FQuick garage on your forum.

2. Can I see the installation instructions?

Of course! The instructions are included within the zip file but we also included an online version so we can show forum owners how easy it really is to install this plugin. Click the "Show/Hide Instructions" link below to view the instructions.

3. How do I manually edit a user and add their FQuick garage?

Easy. Follow these instructions.

1. Login to your "Admin Control Panel" on your vBulletin forum.
2. Expand the "Users" panel on the left column.
3. Click "Search for Users" and enter the username in the textbox and click "Exact Match".
4. Look for the "FQuick Username" textfield and populate it.
5. Click "Save". That's it!

1. What's in it for me? How does my site get seen on FQuick.com?

For every forum user that links to their FQuick account, your forum's banner will be displayed on their FQuick garage.
Here is an example of a user being a member of four forums:



Your member's forum username, custom title, and post count will be automatically updated every night and displayed on FQuick. This requires no maintenance on your end and makes your forum members proud!

Be sure to promote FQuick so you get more banner links back to your website! Also, make sure they fill in their FQuick username properly on your forum. If it is wrong, your banner will not be displayed on their user garage.

In addition, your forum link will be selected at random to be displayed to only those who were specified to us by you, the forum owner. The more members that you bring to FQuick, the more of a chance that your website will be seen by other FQuick members and guests. Also, the FQuick Network Members list will also provide a link, crawlable by search engines, back to your forums.

2. How can I change who sees my text link?

You will need to fill out the FQuick Network Contact Form to change who sees our forum link.

3. How do I get more impressions?

Simple: Bring us more members! Your FQuick Network Rank (FNR) is determined by an algorithm that takes your forum's members, posts, and threads into consideration.

4. How do I increase my allocation?

Well that is a bit of a loaded question, but a very simple answer. You need to get more of your forum members using the plugin. The basic deal is, quid pro quo. You get your members to use the plugin, we get our members to view/use your forum. If you have 10 members using the plugin, you earn a minimum of 20 views PER DAY. If you have 1,000 members using it, you get 2,000 views PER DAY, which would be 60,000 a month! Now, that's the simple part. More members using the plugin, the more impressions for your website.

This system allows us to take on forums that only have 100 members, all the way up to forums that have 500,000 members. Everyone has a chance to show up because as others run out of views, the system will go to the next forum without their quota filled and start cranking out views. Also, it allows you to not get burned. If you have 1,000 members using it, and we display the same number of views for a forum with 10 members using it, you are getting the shaft. This system allows fair viewing for both parties.

5. What is "FQ Rank"?

The "FNR" is your FQuick Network Rank. The larger forum you are the larger your FNR is. Your FNR is a complex equation that results in a number we use to rank your forum which becomes your "Multiplier". Everyone starts out with a Multiplier of 2. A forum with 1.5 million posts and 90,000 members could have a FNR of 10. Therefore their Multiplier would be 10. So to do the math for you, the same 1,000 members using the plugin would be multiplied by your FNR which is 10 resulting in up to 10,000 views a day or 300,000 views a month!

6. Can I buy more allocation?

Sure! You sell banners, we sell impressions! If you have a start-up forum and you have a low FNR or just no members, we do sell impressions. Contact us to disuss pricing and how it will work.
