Yes. How do we know what ad was clicked? And even better, the keyword? I've checked adlogger but it only runs in PHP. My site is on ASP. Any other alternatives?
You can't as far as I know find out what keyword was used. You can use adlogger to view what URL was clicked, it works about 50/50 (meaning sometimes the link is UNKNOWN) but it does help block Made For Adsense crap sites that pay 0.01 per click.
Oh... I've checked Adlogger but it's developed for PHP and not for ASP. Are there alternatives that supports plain HTML or ASP? Thanks!
Alteast try setting up channels, if you want.. a channel per page (very tedious BTW) you can track it that way.
I've pointed out in another thread that I do want to learn PHP and .NET perhaps. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to devote to learning a new scripting language compared before. I do agree that ASP is archaic now.
What is your goal? Learn coding or build websites? Two different things. I can code in C++, Java, Perl, PHP, etc.. but I hardly code these days - mostly tweaks here and there to suffice my needs. In that case - if you know ASP, PHP won't be too hard. But how far you want to go learning the technology can be a good question you need answer yourself.
Yup. I did set-up channels per ad placement but still it won't tell us what ad/link was clicked. I didn't thought of setting up channels per page though and yes it's going to be very tedious.
@chiz: if your goal is to setup an easy to maintain site, why not use an established CMS software, like Drupal or Wordpress? Unless of course, you DO want to learn the coding as you build it.
[off-topic]Ok. We're going a bit off-topic here but anyway. Yes, I do want to build dynamic websites, on my own. I've done several already and in the process, I learned HTML, CSS and ASP. I'm open to learning a new scripting language so that I could consider other alternatives and not being limited to a single scripting language alone.[/off-topic]
