Counting Clicks / phpAdsnew

[Reece^B]

Im using the random banner script over @ vB.com and would like to know if there's a way I could keep track on the amount of clicks each banner has?

Also on another note, what is phpAdsnew like?

I currently charge X amount a month to place an advert for a month on my site (unlimited clicks etc), but wondering if I should use a type of ads programme like phpAdsnew for pay per click or something like that.

Anyone shed any light?

Cheers

I've been using phpAdsnew for about a year and I love it! I use it on serveral sites including my VB forum - http://www.extremebusa.com - and it works perfectly. I have every paying sponsor banner setup and phpAdsnew sends a stats email to the sponsors outlining all the details of their banner stats (you can choose when you want the email sent... every 7 days, 14 days, etc). You can also add "weight" to a banner, or specify how many times per day/week/month it will be displayed. I recommend phpAdsnew 100%!

How do you manage those users?

I mean, how do they sign up? Is it a manual process? Once signed up, how do you invoice / bill them?
How do they add banners?
Can they change existing banners?
What happens if they want to take out a 12 month "contract"?

Thanks for the reply.

I would like to know the above to.
Im going to install it today and just muck about with setting it up etc.

I mean, how do they sign up?

Because I use different prices for different sponsors I couldn't find a turn-key solution. So I simply have the sponsor us recurring billing through Paypal. Each sponsor has their own payment page like this (http://www.extremebusa.com/extreme/misc.php?do=page&template=sponsor_mirrormod).

Can they change existing banners?

Yes... you can designate the PHPAdsnew to allow the sponsor access to their own banner for changes.

Is it a manual process?

Yes... it's manual for you. There isn't a hack for phpAdsnew that makes the process automatic. At least I never found one.

How did you get the Random thumbs and the Advert tables in your portal page? I need to learn how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

They're just modules mate.

I run photoplog with this mod:

And the advert is another module, however it just uses BB code and pasted a image link to the picture.


All my ads are done manually....they send me the pic...ftp...stick code in template.

Hope that helps
