Ads on multipel websites

Hey guys,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post. I own multiple websites and to sell advertisement on all of them simultaneously from one place. So I don't want to manually put the code for banner on all the websites but just do from one place from the admin area.

Can this be done in PHP. Is there some free script already available?


Thank you.

 

Try OpenX.org

 

Hey,

Thanks for the great website. However, I wanted to stay away from networks. I was thinking of something like:
http://www.yourfreeworld.com/script/textads.php
However, they're pretty expensive.

Thank you.

 

You can download the script yourself, and host it somewhere, your not obligated to use the openx market

basically, you just want to replicate what the theme guys do when putting ad's in footers.

You just have a piece of javascript that point to a central site and fetches a link/banner/image etc - just like calling a javascript js file
- you can fancy it up using cookies, user tokens etc
- you can also add management menus to rotate ads, serve ads to certain sites etc.
but I'd go for a simple mechanism first, then build up

on your central site, when the remote site calls in, you serve back the links.


This could be done simply with PHP also, having file(s) on the remote sites, to which your admin site writes to.
Just include this local file in the page where needed and have it push out the required html


The third option, which I've used a number of times is to have the remote sites have

<a href="http://adminsite.com/clickthruscript.php?site=siteref&adv=advnum"><img src="http://adminsite.com/imageserverscript.php?site=siteref&adv=advnum" border=0 width= height= alt=""></a>

Code (markup):

where:
clickthruscript basically redirect the click to the required target
imageserver simply looks up the requires image and spits it out

you can personalise the system to site and advert position with the optional passed parameters siteref and advnum

This works best with fixed width/height images per site/position
You can have a sql based admin system or simple hardcoded server/click-redirect scripts - it's up to you

Thanks MyVodaFone for that link. I downloaded it and ran it but I realized that it was perhaps it a bit too complicated and not suiting my needs too well.
SiJz, thanks for the great reply. I've realized that I'll have to code this myself to suit it to my needs. I'll be doing this using javascript but my coding skills are a little weak. I've gotten though the basic step of displaying links on all websites from one place. Can you tell me how to add cookies and stuff to record views and clicks etc.

Thank you.

 

Hi,

Sure - I'll dig out what I used and send it over via pm later (maybe tomorrow worst case)

Hi SiJz, mind to send one to me too? will really appreciate the remote php version, javascript hates me and i hate it more lol

 

No problem,

Si

 

cool.. looking forward for the scripts.

God bless you Si. Thx.

 

search "phpmyads" at google, this scripts are working good with you

 

Hi,

Quick update, I've not forgotten to sort the scripts, I've had a few unexpected chaotic days, so will try to find and post this evening.
