What is the best way to put my clicker code into my html on my web page?

You can use any HTML editor (such as Microsoft Front Page, Dreamweaver, etc), but keep in mind that many of these editors can change your html code and insert their own code (!) which may prevent the clicker from working properly. The best way to change the code is to paste it into your web page using Notepad, which you can find on PCs under Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad.

1. From a blank Notepad window, go to File > Open.
2. Make sure you change the "Files of Type" drop-down menu to select "All Files".
3. Select your web page file where you last saved it on your hard drive. The filename is usually "index.html"
4. You will see your file's code in Notepad now. Paste the whole clicker code anywhere between the <body> and </ body> tags.
5. Go to File > Save and make sure you save it in the same place as you found it.

What if my free clicker doesn't appear on my website?

First, check that the code was correctly copied and inserted into the html of the page where you want the clicker to be displayed. Check to make sure you have not changed any of the clicker html code, since this may affect the clicker's tracking ability and your stats. Then make sure you have uploaded the page to the correct folder on your web server. Your homepage should typically be placed in the top level folder in your site (not in a sub-folder). You may also want to disble pop-up blocking on your site as a precaution. Please refer to your web hosting company where you bought the hosting account, should the above steps not work. There may be some settings that need to be adjusted on your server that you cannot access directly.

Can I remove or change the clicker html code?

NO. Doing so will result in your account being removed from our system. The code must be copied and pasted exactly as you receive it. The Clicker Ticker system will flag your clicker code and we will remove your clicker if you have altered the code. Since the sponsors are paying for the clicker, we must remove your clicker if you remove the sponsor. It's only fair! If you don't like your sponsor you can always download another clicker to receive a new sponsor.
