I've been approached by a company/website that want to advertise on my site and they've said they are willing to pay me $20 for every 1000 hits. My question is how do I go about tracking a 1000 impressions/hits and giving them some sort of access so they know I'm not making up the numbers as I go along. Any help would be much appreciated
If they approached you about buying advertising space then it is likely they know how to track the traffic. Otherwise they would be putting their money at risk.
So I should just put their link up, monitor the traffic values, then ask for the money when its reached 1000 hits?
Adbutler.com is good for what you want. However you either have to pay for it or let them server 7.5% of there own ads on your banners. I use it and think its worth the 7.5% of there own ads. Thanks
I would use mysimpleads, its free and a great ad server, full featured, plus it will keep track of impressions and hits for you on all ads.
I used scirt from my friend. This script is very simply. He has admin panel where you can add name of advertiser his site and banner. After that you include php script on your site to show his ads. It have public stats with impresions and clicks. If you can try it, pm me. I try find it.
I have used OpenAds for years. It's very powerful and sophisticated program, maybe more than what you need.
I suggest a program that has he software for you to see this information. Don't wanna get ripped off.
