Need Help Validating Site

Discussion in 'Co-op Advertising Network' started by Outdoor Guy, Sep 18, 2006.

    I have loaded my url below for validation and when I validate it... ( http://www.truefocus.net/template.php )

    ...I get this message:
    "Ads not found on http://www.truefocus.net/template.php/"

    I noticed it's adding a trailing / at the end of my URL.

    Also on the root directory are:
    http://www.truefocus.net/ad_network_380.php
    http://www.truefocus.net/ad_network_ads_380.txt

    The txt file has write permissions enabled. I am also on a PHP server.

    I don't think any of the site types apply to me. My site is just static html pages of content. So in the site settings, I just selected site type "other" in the list of options.


    I'm seeing my links here:
    http://www.truefocus.net/ad_network_ads_380.txt

    But They Don't Display Here:
    http://www.truefocus.net/template.php

    This is how I've included them:

    <?php
    ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
    include ('ad_network_380.php');
    echo $ad_network;
    ?>

    Take the "template.php" part out of the URL.

    If i remove the template.php part from the URL, how will this system find my ads when i validate just my homepage URL? I'm not able to post ads on my homepage. Can you elaborate a little more for me? If i link from my homepage to the template page, will that allow it to be found?

    I just revalidated and i got:
    Ads not found on http://www.truefocus.net/

    I also posted a link on my homepage to the php page. I think the setup instructions need to be improved...the lack of detail is somewhat frustrating.

    You would need to run ads on your main page.

    2 questions:

    1. my homepage file utilizes frames that referrences two other html files. in order to include ads on my homepage, i have to install them in from one of those secondary html files. will this work?

    2. is it not possible to run ads on additional pages within my site? it was my understanding that i could improve my site's weight by having more pages with more ads running. if i can use ads on multiple pages, how should make those pages visible for validation?

    Ads will not work on a site that is based on frames, and you would need to run ads on all pages of your site.

    I removed the frames, and my site is now just a single page (just the homepage). Still no ads.

    http://www.truefocus.net/ad_network_380.php

    http://www.truefocus.net

    This is frustrating indeed.

    Are you sure your site supports PHP? Where on the page did you try to add it exactly?
