Does this system support PPC rather than CPM like adwords. Apologies if this has been answered already.
it supports both cpc and cpm, but you can only add keywords while doing cpc and select different forums while doing cpm.
It doesn't currently track conversions. Maybe down the road, but as it is you can use Goigle Analytics to do it.
I think you should implement a system to automatically check for broken links being displayed as advertisements. This will save the advertiser money when their site is down and it will also be a better experience for the person clicking the ad.
I love the AJAX , the way the 'Your ad here' text slides down, makes me want to put my ad there @Shawn, congrats buddy
Why is it so obvious? clearly to an individual/company dealing or have dealt with inline text advertising it would be, but I fail to see where it's so obvious to a novice like I FIRST pointed out.
Just FYI... I made some internal changes to the inline keyword ads to cut out redundant keywords in the system (90% of the active keywords were redundant and taking resources every time a post was rendered). Let's say you run an ad with the following keywords: web hosting web hosting provider awesome web hosting linux web hosting rad web hosting Code (markup): They all contain "web hosting", and since a single post can only have 1 inline keyword ad, "web hosting provider" would never be linked (assuming everything else is equal and they all have the same bid price) because the post is already linking "web hosting". So now internally the system cuts out all the redundant keyword phrases when it's impossible for them to ever be linked (because part of the phrase is already in the system with an equal or greater bid). You shouldn't notice anything different on the front-end... it's just a performance thing ont he backend. But something to be aware of if you are pointlessly adding long tail variations of a phrase you already have.

Looks fine to me... are you using ad blocker software by chance? The class="yjojsycxekdjcpdypbxd" isn't coming from us.
Yeah, never mind. I'm using AdBlock Plus on FireFox and thought it was disabled on DP, but you need to disable it per sub domain. Adding the filter @@||*.digitalpoint.com fixed it.
