I am seeking an advertising network script similar to adbrite and adsense. One that has advertisers, publishers, and click fraud management. Can anyone recommend a good one?
No sure if this is what you had in mind: www.inclick.net Not an adbrite clone, more of a contextual advertising ad server solution.
@ddomingu - It really comes down to what is important with respect to feature set and platform capabilities. First, determine what are key features you absolutely must have as well as will make you different (your value). If you are going to try to become the next Google, you better have some VC behind you or you will fail. Also, forecast volume - initially, next month, next year, etc. Will the candidate ad platforms handle it? If so, what kind of hardware will be required to handle it? Dig deep, ask questions. You'll come up with a pretty good shortlist of ad serving platforms. Aside from that, be sure you some form of plan. Hope that helps. -Bing
Problem with inclick is its lease system ,90% of people wont go for it because of lease and no one will buy its enterprise edition because no one will be willing to spend 1000's$ in its starting,so if its me i wont either choose PHPLEMON or INCLICK.I'd rather go with Ad manager Pro or Inout Adserver.
I wouldn't consider the lease program a problem, more of an issue with undertanding the concept of the lease as it relates to the value of the platform. Our lease program is actually an awesome deal when you look at the big picture. From a programming / codebase standpoint, the system architecture of the inClick Ad Server is geared specifically for those looking for a stable, scalable, and extensible architecture - a solid foundation geared particularly for large scale enterprise customers. A proactive approach to filtering and analyzing invalid clicks (our Click Definition Service), simple to use interface, content sensitive ad matching, Yield Optimized Advertisement Delivery and Bidding Engine, it becomes very clear that every piece of the system is far more complex than what one can "see" on the surface. So, why the lease program? Not everyone has the up-front budget to pay for such a product. Because of this, we introduced the Performance Lease - an aggressive software leasing program that allows start-ups and cash-strapped ventures get started on the right foundation with a minimal amount of up-front cost. Heck, we give you our platform free to make the first $500.00 on us just to validate if the platform is right for you. On top of that, we apply the last six months lease payments to the purchase of an Enterprise License when you are ready! To be subjective (since what I say is likely biased), I suggest is one try out each system (yes, buy each one if needed if they don't have a free trial). Test the functionality, check ease of use, verify data integrity, determine if it can support millions of impressions a day with a fully loaded DB and not just a few test ads, find out if it offers any real support, and most of all, ask questions. Remember, an ad network will undergo a tremendous amount of constant stress, so be sure your decision considers where you expect to be down the road. The wrong decision now will turn into a catastrophe when you finally get ramped up. A bit more than my two cents worth... -Bing
well i saw on this forum that someone said about inclick that if we use lease 60% will got to publishers,15% to you,10% to maintenance and hosting and all so owner will only get 15% of the revenue not only 15% but it can be 10% or 5% too because you will have to pay good commission to publishers as a new network.As far as the features are concerned the only good feature is Yield Optimized Delivery and Bidding and when you look at negativity you will find that you cant even integrate signup fields on a custom page now thats too bad and it only has text ads and forget about those worst image ads. So in my opinion if your advertisers spend 1000$ then 150$ goes to inclick and if they spend 10000$ then 1500$ goes to inclick now thats a great loss.Why not buy a script of 100$-300$ or even make a custom one for 2000$. I am not lowering your sales down,I had my personal opinion with InClick.
I understand your opinion as this is the most common objection to our platform I see - "why would I lease (or buy the Enterprise License) when Ad Server Company A or B offer an ad server for 100-300 bucks (some free)?" The answer is really quite simple, platform capabilities which would yield a higher return. Yes, you can start with an inexpensive script where all may look functional when you start. However, once you start seeing some substantial traffic volume, those inexpensive systems will typically fail regardless of how much server power you put to it. Here is one scenario (of many) I see time and time again. Having been in the industry for over 10 years, I can confidently speak based on my experience: You could go on ahead and buy a $100.00 ad server script and possibly get a few advertisers to start advertising. What you will quickly find is that those advertiser will likely become one-time deals due to low quality results. If you utilized a platform that includes features and functionality that is geared for the delivery of valid traffic, your advertisers will see those clicks convert to purchases and likely renew their advertising efforts. In one hand, you have an inexpensive platform that gets a few one-time advertisers that never return, and in the other you have a platform that is conducive to building relationships with your advertisers and publishers. Personally, I would go with the latter. Lets touch on costs for a moment. I'm not quite sure where you arrived at the $2000 figure to build out an ad server as that is quite low considering the feature set required to be a successful business. Again from my 10+ years of experience, I've seen many people balk at our pricing to say they will build it in house or hire a team from [insert country name here] to either later return as a customer or have gone out of business. Unfortunately, most never succeeded in their build-out and have gone out-of-business. What looks easy to build on the surface is simply just not the case - our company has invested over 10-years of research and development for what is available today. That doesn't come cheap. (If someone, or company, can do this for $2000, we need to talk) Consider this question: If you had a choice between Ad Server A that can make you $12000.00 over the course of a year that costs $100.00 or Ad server B that could make $24000.00 over the same time period with the same advertisers for $3600.00, which would you choose? Regarding the integration signup fields, our available API allows you to do just about anything with the platform. From creating your own campaign types (video ads, image ads, roadblocks, SMS ads, anything) to allowing you to create your own user interface. To put it in perspective, some deployments have gone so far with the API that you wouldn't even think that what you are looking at is an inClick Ad Server deployment. For most use cases, however, the API is not necessary as the CSS can be easily edited to fit your needs. The bottom line is not all ad servers are created equal and you really do get what you pay for. If plans are to serve ads to a few thousand ads across a handful of sites, you can probably get away with an inexpensive script. If plans are to include the ability to serve millions (or billions) of ads a month and more, have the ability to add your own features or functionality, you need to pay particularly close attention to your selection. I've definitely provided more than my 2 cents worth, I hope that helps
Well i appreciate your 2 cents , lol but the thing is inclick can provide millions and billions ok then thats good but the script i am using can do that also.Now talking about advertising i've used InClick and didnt found that much success in advertisers section then publishers.The Fact is until you have 1000's of publishers you can't provide advertisers the traffic that they want like advertisers choose keywords and you don't have publishers who have site of related keywords so how can you provide quality traffic then ? this is not just for inclick its for all scripts. Regarding API ,I've not heard anything as such from inClick.
