the format accordingly.

as possible. Visitors will be searching and then quickly scanning

get the idea of what your content is about just by reading
the title. Ondix will automatically remove any 'unusual' punctuation
and other 'highlights' from your title when you update content.

of the teacher of your content such as 'Dr. Smith', 'Some
Dork' and the similar. Size limitation: 20 characters, weight:

Content actual content and file uploading
Under 'protected' section you
can add your actual content. This is the section of the content
that users will have access to only after they purchase the
content. Therefore, it is protected until purchased.
You have few options on how to format your content. You may
convert your files into text and then paste it into the 'actual
content' window, so when somebody buys it, he or she will
get access to that text. You may also scan your documents
and then upload (attach) these documents to your content.
When somebody buys the content with files attached they will
have an opportunity to download (or open) these attached files.
You may attach up to 100 different
files to your content. The size of each file could not be
more then 200KB. If you have files bigger then that you should
split them into smaller ones, or consider re-scanning, or
compressing them. Following formats of files are accepted:
.jpg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .doc, .xls, .txt, .csv, .pdf. ( .zip
and .rar formats will be added in the future) Ondix scans
all uploaded files for viruses and if finds any your membership
will be automatically suspended until investigation is performed.
Please note that out of all the formats listed above the .doc
(MS word) and .xls (MS excel) are two of the files most inclined
to contain damaging scripts.
Naming of the uploaded files
is not necessary, but desirable. When you upload the file
give it a meaningful name, so visitors would know what you
attached to your content. The name you give to uploaded files
is only used as a display tag; Ondix automatically names the
actual file in the sequential order.
Content status and pricing
The content status indicates
the current status of the content. If status is set to 'enabled',
the content is listed on the search and visitors have excess
to it. If status is set to 'disabled', your content is not
listed on the search and visitors don't have excess to it.
The content is updated and entered into the Ondix search as
soon as you press 'update'
It is very important to set
the correct price for your content. Price could be $0 (free)
or in the range from $5 to $50. All transactions are calculated
in US dollars. Please do your research and make your prices
competitive. It is in Ondix interest to sell at the highest
prices, but it is also in the Ondix interest to keep customers
happy, increase sales and the popularity of the website. Competition
normally levels out the average price of content at about
$10. Please also note that the 'typical' Ondix buyer is a
student who does not have a lot of money and would rather
send it on beer and pizza, not on some digital stuff on the
computer.
Content log files
Ondix records the changes to
your content. Every time when you update the content any change
is being recorded. Every time when somebody buys your content,
the snap shot of your content is taken and kept in the log
files. You can access the log files any particular content
by clicking 'view log' at the bottom of content page. If you
don't see the 'view log' link, that means the content has
just been created and do not yet have a change log.
