hello every one , i signed up for coop advertising network almost 3 weeks ago , and i still cant activate my account. this is what i see on when i login Account not yet activated. | Site failed automatic validation as of 2004-09-23 (make sure URL and site type is correct - if everything is correct, it may require manual validation). Auto Validate Now i am not sure if the url i am having is correct : well i tried all of the ones below http://www.mysite.com/ http://www.mysite.com/catalog/ http://www.mysite.com/catalog/links.php http://www.mysite.com/catalog/all_products.php do i have to put the adds ( banners) on my site to activate my account ? can any one please get me started any help is greatly apprecaited thankyou
I dont use it, but I would guess you need to put the link up to actually valiadate your site in the network, Excuse me if I am completely wrong.
Yes, you have to put the ads on your page, and then click the validate link. But just to clarify, if you registered with this URL http://www.mysite.com/catalog/ then all pages there and below, ie: http://www.mysite.com/catalog/ http://www.mysite.com/catalog/xxx http://www.mysite.com/catalog/xxx/xxx must have the ads, but not http://www.mysite.com/ http://www.mysite.com/zzz
thankyou for your prompt replies. Can you please tell me where to find those adds that i can put on my site? Also if i register with http://www.mysite.com/catalog/links.php so i only have to display the adds on links.php page right ? does this effects my weight in coop advertising. like this way only 1 page will be displaying the adds and if i register with http://www.mysite.com/catalog/ then my whole site will be displaying the adds , like on every page. which one is better for me ? thankyou
No offense, but go to these 3 links and read all the pages http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/ http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/faq.html http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1630 Then, go here and sign up.
The coop network wouldn't really do you much good if you only put it on your links page. That would be more of a link exchange. Since the impressions are weighted, the more pages you have displaying the ad's, the more often your ad/link will show up. I really think it will be pointless for you to just put it on 1 page.
hey thankyou all for replying and sorry for the late reply , i was out of town. this is the url ia m trying to validate www . stylesell . com it wont let me submit the link thankyou
hello again , can any one please help me with configuration , i guess i did everything right and adds not showing up on my site. these 2 files are in my public_html folder ad_network.php and ad_network_ads.txt with file permission to 777 then in public_html/includes/footer.php i got entered this code in the bottom ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../'); include_once ('ad_network.php'); echo $ad_network; and its not working please help me out thankyou
hello , ya can you please help me fix this , i have posted the code above and how i installed every thing on my site , if you can please take a look and let me know what i am doing wrong? thankyou
There is one more step--did you do that? I think in overall footer file. One more line to add. Go back and check the instructions. last step
hey i think i have followed all the steps , the other steps are for the sites that are not .php based. what if i give you access to the test site can you please install it there ? and once its up then i can just transfer the settings please let me know you can email me at sinryd3r@msn.com thankyou
Don't know if you were talking to me or someone else, but I don't want anyone's passwords. Wouldn't want to be blamed for anything.
Huge mistake, i did this once on my dedicated server and two days later had to redo the entire server (me stupid sometimes )
