the flag changes the previous flags get updated, the one on the right is the oldest and the one on the left
is the recent(previous flag).
The Activity Histogram graph displays the occurrences of clicking after number of days. As an
example, in the above figure, this referral has around 44% of occurrences clicking everyday and
around 29% of occurrences clicking every 3 days and so on. It shows the Mean which is the most likely
occurrence of clicking after certain number days and the STD (Standard Deviation) is the expected
positive/negative change of the occurrences away from the Mean occurrence. There is Green vertical
dashed line that shows the last click date in days.
In the lower part of the referral details view we can see the clicks graph, the following Figure 1.6
shows the different parts of this graph.

The Referrals tab contains other options for controlling the referrals list, referral details view, clicks
graph and automatic flags assigning. For the Referrals List, we have the Do not show recycled referrals
at all check box, this hides the recycled referrals from the referrals tree view permanently. Figure 2.4,
shows the recycled referrals are displayed because this check box was cleared as well as the Hide
Recycled Referrals check box above the referrals tree view.

Adding Referrals Data

In this section, we are going to see how can we add the exported referrals data from Neobux into the
software. There are two approaches to do so, the fist one is used one time if you are using the software
for the first time and if you have been used to save the exported referral data as text files. The second
approach is used on daily basis.
The fist approach is to add the exported referrals data text files as batch, to do so, select Tools > Add
Referrals Data > Load Exported Files or press CTRL+L. You should see Load Exported Files window
as shown in Figure 3.1.

Figure 3.1 Load Exported Files window

First, click Browse button and select the folder that contains the exported referrals data text files. Then,
if you have used to name the text files with patterns similar to date format, check the Set specific
filename pattern and select the correct format from the drop down list or type it. Then, if you have sub
folders in the selected folder that includes exported referrals data text files, check Include files in subfolders as well. Now, press Load button so that all the files found inside the selected folders are added
to the list of files. Figure 3.2, illustrates the list of files before pressing Update button.
The list of files loaded should be sorted in order from older files to recent ones, if the files are still out
of order you can manually adjust them using the Move Up and Move Down buttons. Once, the files are
in correct order, press the Update button.
The software now will process all the files selected and add them into the softwares database, after the
18

operation is completed, you should save this data using File > Save or Press CTRL+S.

Figure 3.2 Load Exported Files (the list of files loaded)

ATTENTION
- The selected folder should contain only text files having the exported referrals data, if there are other
text files having different data, they should be removed from such folder before pressing Load button
- The filename pattern should follow date like format for example the format dd_MM_yyyy.txt
supports the files 18_04_2013.txt and 30_01_2012.txt. Another example the format yyyyMMdd.txt
supports the files 20130418.txt and 20130130.txt.
- The Load Exported Files approach is used once for the first time of the software, when we add all the
old exported data text files, we dont need to re-add such files any more. We should use the Paste
Exported Data approach instead afterwards.
- The saved XML file holds the previously exported data and membership details, to append new
exported data, we open the saved file first then add the new exported referrals data then save to the
same file and so on.
The second approach is to paste directly the copied exported referrals data from Neobux into the
software, to do so, open the last saved XML file, copy the exported referrals data from Neobux then go
back to the software and select Tools > Add Referrals Data > Paste Exported Clipboard or press
CTRL+V then you should save to the same opened file. Figure 3.3 shows how to export referrals data
from Neobux, you should follow the instructions until you copy the data to clipboard.
ATTENTION
- Dont forget to make a new backup text file of the new exported referrals data from Neobux.

Membership Details
The software requires from you to enter all the memberships you have purchase or won via Adprize, if
you dont add any memberships, the software will consider that you are Standard user. In this section
we will see how to add memberships.
To add memberships, open the saved XML file, then select Tools > Membership Details or press
CTRL+M. The Membership Details window should look like Figure 4.1.

Figure 4.1 Membership Details window

To add new membership, select Type (Golden or Ultimate), set the From Date to equal the starting date
of this membership and the Renewal cost, then press Add button. The new membership will be added
to the Memberships list. You can delete any added membership by highlighting it in the Memberships
list then click Delete button. After you make all the updates you need to do click OK to apply the
changes. You should save by selecting File > Save or press CTRL+S.
ATTENTION
- The renewal cost can be used in case of special discounts, for example the Golden costs 75$ on
Christmas offer and Golden costs 0$ if was won via Adprize or purchased using Neopoints.
- The memberships of same type cant overlap, if you try to add a membership that overlaps with a
membership of same type in the Memberships list you will get an error message indicating so.
- The software supports only Golden and Ultimate memberships. If you dont add any memberships,
the software will consider you are Standard.
- The memberships details are essential for calculating correct earnings and profit of your referrals.

Sorting Referrals
In this section, the sorting methods will be described. This software has a sorting feature in order to sort
your referrals in the referrals tree view using specific parameter(method) either ascending from lowest
to highest or descending from highest to lowest. The sorting method is selected from the Sorting drop
down list above the referrals tree view on the left side. To control the sorting direction set the Up radio
button for ascending sorting or the Down radio button for descending sorting. The following Table 5.1
will describe the possible sorting methods.
No sorting is applied on the referrals.

Sorting referrals by their current average.

Sorting referrals by their total clicks.

Sorting referrals by their last click date.

Sorting referrals by their referral since date.

Referrals Recycling Assistance Wizard

This feature is used to actually perform the recycling on Neobux website of the referrals marked as to
be recycled inside the software. To use this feature, apply the filters that you use to decide which
referrals to recycle, mark the referrals to be recycled, once you are confident with the referrals to be
recycled, select Tools > Referrals Recycling Assistance Wizard or press F6. You will see Figure 7.1.

Figure 7.1 - Referrals Recycling Assistance Wizard

The first referrals ID in the wizard is copied automatically to the clipboard, go to Neobux referrals
page and hit CTRL+F then paste the copied ID to locate the referral to be recycled. Apply either
manual recycling or unlock for free auto recycling based on the suggestion in the wizard, go back to the
wizard and press Next Referral then repeat the same process.
ATTENTION
- The wizard will show all referrals marked as to be recycled despite they are currently displayed in the
referrals tree view or not
- You should have at least two referrals marked as to be recycled to be able to use this wizard.
- The referrals are sorted in the wizard based on the referral since date from recent to oldest referrals
similar to the default sorting on Neobux rented referrals page. If you cant find a referral on the current
