Hello, I'm designing a calculator that can be placed on other people's site; the purpose is to promote my site. I'm seeking advice regarding, 'what is the best way to go about this?'. I could permit the script's use through copy/paste code. The code would have an anchor tag just beneath the script that links back to my site. I see two potential problems with this aproach: 1) people might just decide to leave out my anchor tag and just use the script without my link. 2) Some blogers might not be able to paste javascript to their blogs. (regarding the 2nd problem, I don't have experience with wordpress, blogger, etc.) This is my first time doing this sort of 'promotion' via scripts. I'm wondering if it might be best to do this via php and an iFrame? Any and all advice appreciated. Thanks, RogerDodger
There is no sure fire way to ensure that your link is always available. You could require a domain registration upon download. Then check the website to see if your name is on there, other than that. No.
jbrooksuk's, I was thinking the calculation and the link could be done by php on my server; and then I could supply the webMaster with AJAX/javascript OR an iFrame.
But it would be very simple to look at the source of the iFrame and/OR JavaScript. You could simply copy that and remove the tag.
