Banner Advertising MOD

[esm]

This is really just a contuation of the following MOD. I just wanted to change the subject name to better reflect the name. I should point out that this MOD will not be part of the indexuhelp.com site but can be purchase separately.

http://www.nicecoder.com/community/s...&threadid=1656

And the first thing that I want to say is that I have added the ability to exclude an ad from a particular category. this works best when you want to include the ad in all categories except just a few. So if you want the ad to appear in all categories except one, you would use this feature. here is what the records look like:

                         category
banner_id   banner_cat   exclude   Description
    1             0       10,11    Arnold Palmer Golf
    2             9                CNN
    3          9,10,11             this is the vertical ad
    4            11                USA Today
    5             0                this is the wine ad
    6          9,10,11             EvidenceElininator
    7             9                text ad

A banner_cat of 0 (zero) means it should appear in all the categories
From the above, banner_id #1 will appear in all categories except categories 10 and 11.

I wiil add keyword search next and then sometime this week (or next) maybe add the advertiser interface so the advertiser can log in setup the ad.

ai,

seems you have an error here in the header:
http://www.indexuhelp.com/indexu/

What will be the price of the mod ?

Frank

[esm]

Yep, INDEXU will "blow up" from time to time or othewise have strange output at my site! This is where I test the MODs!

I haven't set a price yet and the only other custom PPC mod that I am aware of is at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scri...ppc/index.htm. I think that MOD is way overpriced.

On the other hand, this MOD has taken an enormous amount of time to develop and test. And while my mod may not be as sophisticated or extensive as others, I think it does what INDEXU user wants. It is certainly tightly integrated with INDEXU. The one thing that this mod does not have is "bids." but maybe a future verson.

I will have a special introductory price for it soon.

Once I get it completed, I will work on a MOD to turn the sponsor listing into a paid feature for INDEXU owners. Currently, there is not much available for you to charge folks for this type of listing.

If you need testers...

Most times, some things should be tested before, you see it at indexu, without Dody all bugs lay done and waiting, because most of the users can't fix them...

ai,

and the status of that ?

Frank

[esm]

it works. I just need a tester so I can finish some stuff on it.

[Frank71]

Sounds you are searching for a guy like me

As I wrote in another post I'm planing a new website with indexu and may be I can do a lot of tests, but I will ned a little.
At the moment my site is only in my head and the domain blank.

Time to build my own V4 with your hacks

Frank

sounds good to me

[Frank71]

ai,

one first question.
Is it possible to show ads also on sites outsite indexu ?

As you know every one from us uses additional sites to indexu like "partner", "index", "about us and contact"....

Frank

[esm]

are you asking if it can be run on non-indexu pages, the answer is yes if you use INDEXU to display the page.

For example, contact.php could call contact.html using the DisplayTemplate function.

Hello,

I would love to see your hack and test it on my site. As you know I have an Indexu test site where I can do that. I have several question.
1) What will be the cost of the hack?
2) I need/want my advertiser to be able to login (as advertiser) is it possible?
3) What are the available stats about the displayed banners (for advertiser viewing)
4) How many banners can be display on one category
5) Any provision for site wide display either on header or footer or both
6) What type of banner are supported?
7) Can display of banner be limited (number of exposures, number of click, number of days)
8) How many advertisers per category?

Sorry so many questions but other than me might be interested by the answers.
Thank you

1) What will be the cost of the hack?

It is free if you want to test it

2) I need/want my advertiser to be able to login (as advertiser) is it possible?

I have this setup

3) What are the available stats about the displayed banners (for advertiser viewing)

see http://www.nicecoder.com/community/s...r&pagenumber=2

4) How many banners can be display on one category

there is a feature to have more than one per category....you can have them appear after every x number of listings...e.g., a banner after ever 3 listings

5) Any provision for site wide display either on header or footer

yep that is possible

6) What type of banner are supported?

pretty much anything.

7) Can display of banner be limited (number of exposures, number of click, number of days)

yep, you can control the start date, stop date, number of impressions, number of clicks, stop after a certain $ amt

8) How many advertisers per category?

unlimited


hope this helps

[aladdin]

Yes it help greatly, please send me your hack, I will be more than happy to help testing it.

[esm]

i need to let Frank test it also

give a couple of days.

[Frank71]

Ops, I did only a small look into the mod yet, its christmas !

It looks good, but to test it better I'll need more time, because first I'm working out all your other great hacks.

In one moment I got access to so much hacks on your site

First I'll test the more colums and the link of the moment and if my new directory is ready I'll add your ads.

If you need it faster tell Dody it could be nice idea to answer the questions of his users and customers...

Merry Christams
