Click Fraud Software?

Hi All,

What free software is there out there to help prevent click fraud?

I have tried using AdLogger, but im using PHP on Microsoft IIS 6.0.
And i cant seem to get it to work. It is installed fine and i can use it fine, but its not logging clicks. I have follow the instructions exactly, wrapper code etc etc.

Did anyone have any luck installing this on a windows system?
Please let me know?

Thanks

Jonathan

 

Regarding Adlogger, I assume you also have MySQL installed on your server? Are you getting any PHP errors?

 

Hi,

Yes MySql is installed, the installation of AdLogger went perfect no errors, i can use the admin interface, its just not logging the adsense clicks.

Heres an example of the wrapper code it generates for me:

<!-- Start AdLogger Wrapping Code -->
<?php @include_once("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\proxy\adlogger\index.php/track/ad_check.php"); if ($show_ads) { ?>

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub_id";
google_ad_width = 250;
google_ad_height = 250;
google_ad_format = "250x250_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel = "";
google_color_border = "654d8d";
google_color_bg = "654d8d";
google_color_link = "330066";
google_color_text = "330066";
google_color_url = "330066";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

<?php } ?>
<!-- End AdLogger Wrapping Code -->

Code (markup):

The 'include once' line looks suspect to me, the syntax of the file its pointing to looks wrong.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

Hello again,
And I am looking for 2 php files.... index.php and ad_check.php

It should be

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var adlogger_loc = "http://www.YOURSITE.com/adlogger";
var channel_id = "";
//--></script>
<script src="http://www.YOURSITE.com/adlogger/adloggertracker.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>

Best,
Jakomo

 

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, i thought that was a problem.

So its abviously not coded to read windows directories correctly.

I think the problem is in the ad_check.php i dont think it can read the config_settings.php file because its not reading the directories correctly.

Here is a snippet of code from the ad_check.php file that i think is causing the problem:

// Find out where this file is on the server so that we access the configuration files
$adlogger_file_path = str_replace('track/ad_check.php', '', __FILE__);

// Include the configuration files to connect to the database and find the current settings
require ("$adlogger_file_path" . "config_database.php");
require ("$adlogger_file_path" . "config_settings.php");

Code (markup):

And thats why its not displaying my ads with the wrapper code.

Any ideas?

What you think?

adlogger is so confusing, it logs 300 clicks when i only got 7 from adsense. there's no way i could know which ones are the ones recorded and came from the same ip address

 

yeah me too, and for me its quite complicated to install. anyone knows of a link for step-by-step instructions on how to install adlogger?

 

You can get great help and support at the Adlogger Forum.
