Points per Ad click

i'll tell you what i want, what i really really want.

nobody seems to take any notice of my google ads. i get a few pennies for impressions but the real money maker is clicks.

would it be possible to set up a way that users clicking an ad would recieve X amount of points?

the flip side to this would be buying "no ads for X days" with your points.

That would break TOS for offering incentives for clicking ads.

But that sounds like a good idea if you have individually sponsored adverts.

:)

yeah, obviously it could be used for stuff other than google's ads. rotated banners & such.

Like xspazx said, google would frown upon that and it may or may not be legal to actually do.

But, its entirely possible to make a feature add x points inside of a php script that then redirects for a banner ad that is not google.

All u'd have to do is make a simple php file something like:

redirect.php

Code:

<?php

// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'redirect');



// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array();



// get special data templates from the datastore

$specialtemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array();



// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');

require_once('./includes/functions_vbplaza.php');



// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################



// increase the user's points

vbplaza_quick_add_points($vbulletin->userinfo, 100, '');



// jump to the url

header("Location: " . $_REQUEST['url']);

exit;

?>

I havent tested that, but it should work. Then when the link is created for ur ads, it will need to jump to this php file like so... <a href="redirect.php?url=linktogoto"><img src="...."></a>

ya i know is different i just wanna have a look on an example =]
so from there i can modify it... hehehe =X

Again, google would be mad about any abuse of TOS, please read them before doing any kind of hacks like this.

Just so I understand the redirect link I put the php link first (where the file is on my site) then the website link second (ad site) correct?

If we don't tell user that by clicking on the ads will increase their points then we won't be against google's TOS, we just put there and we just wanna reward those pple who click it without they know we increase their points =X

For it to work you would have to tell the users they would get points for clicking. And that violates TOS.

Well, since it can be used for malicious purposes, I can not help in this fashion.

Sorry I cant be of more help.
