Link sales and banner rotation MOD

[inspireme]

As i was a little fed of doing work for free, i decided i would start making mods and selling them Since i started i have made a few small mods, but this is my first major one. It will be ready in a few days, just need a little testing. It will sell for $100

================================================== ========
What is it?
An advertising management system for taking payments for text links and banner adverts
================================================== ========

A user adds a banner, chooses what package they want. Prices all automatically adjust in the screenshot of the table below, you jsut set the price per day for each, and a discount for a years purchase from a setup file and your up and running!



Or, you can add an item from the admin panel :


you have full control over it by viewing the running ads,


from this screen you can edit, send a payment invoice (with an automatic link to paypal to complete it, with the correct amount and details filled in) if the link is about to expire, you can send another invoice. if its paid you jsut click renew to update it to run from the old expiry date.

It emails you when you have a new link to approve. once your happy with a site to be linked to, and received payment jsut set the link to active.

================================================== =
front end :

You have a block, just use :
<%block_linksales type=link%>

to display the links down the side of your site.

use type=banner to display a banner at the top of your site, that rotates depending on the number of banner advertisers

use type=image to run image adverts, (square 300x300 ish images to go down the side of your site)

Best thing is Its modular, apart from the few template files for displaying the information (easily changed) its independant from indexU meaning no need to worry about upgrades and new versions, this will still work - just upload it all again.

I felt this was the biggest thing currently missing from indexU. All my mods will be going onsale on an estore shortly.

Inspireme...

Besides the banner being able to run for 30 days, will it be possible to charge by impressions? Another words, they can choose a price for 30 days OR choose for 1000 impressions?

Also, will it automatically send out a reminder when the banner is coming due to be renewed? Or at the least, remind the admin that invoices need to be sent out?

This MOD looks great though! Please let me know when its ready!

[inspireme]

maybe you could suggest something to me then, i decided to use the invoice system in indexU, rather than asking for instant payment because sometimes you may not want a link on your site (competitor, pills, porn, casino links etc) or a banner maybe too distracting, therefore it goes into admin panel and email s the admin - if admin is happy then an invoice is sent and it can be unsuspended when paid. Do you think this is the right way to go?

Im making an alert that will show up on the admin panel in red when you login "AD EXPIRING IN 10 DAYS" - CLICK TO INVOICE

I guess everything is semi-automatic, you will be reminded when it running out.

As for the PPC idea - i love it, but it doesnt really work with what i have done with this - PPC would take instant payment, and email automatically when running low - I would also want that to include a stats page, which would mean requiring a advertiser to sign up and put it in control panel. Perhaps i will make it as a separate mod, a special block for PPC adverts. It would be hugely discounted to anyone who purchased the above as its similar.

Always looking for new ways to create revenue streams on indexU directories, so i think this mod will be useful. i will finish this one off so its working great and then take a look at creating new code for the PPC addon to this.

Alerts, if a link is expiring you will be warned 30 days in advance on the summary page with the link highlighted in green.

When a link is close to expiring (10 days or less) its highlighted in yellow.



you can send invoice or approach advertiser during this period to arrange renewal or send an invoice to them using the button.

Hello inspireme , your mods is very interesting!
How you find the idea for a similar mod of "boost" your site like
this here
http://www.apn.gr/protaseis/index.php?do=boost
Every webmaster will put their id for boost his site for a time period ( or impression) only with resiprocal link or something like this etc.
I think a mod like this will keep the interest of every webmaster into our directories.
It's difficult a mod like this?


My directory is here http://apn.gr/greece

no i could do that... the more boost a website gives the higher the ranking it gets, you could even do a "boost bar" that displayed like the google PR... you could decide to do things to sites with more boost,

for example boost less than <4 no pictures on rows page.
boost more than 5 > turned into a sponsored listing etc.

let me know if anyone has interest in this.
