Hi Mogart,

I'm in the process of setting that up right now. Maybe I can ask you for some help if (ha ha, when) I run into problems. :)

I'm setting it up on a single server in a utility domain to serve ads across all the domains on that box. An tips would be greatly appreciated.

I've installed the script on my linklist domain. For the moment I'm going trough the Administrators guide. I'll let you know if I find something useful :)

In your zones, the secret to not having specific size banners is putting * and * in the size colums.
on one domain, I use an older version, so to serve on all my domains, I needed to use the java script..
to make the load easier for the server as it is not a dedicated ad server and my banners were loading slowly, it was suggested to me to put one phpads for each domain I wanted to use it for..I dont know if it's because it was across domains, an older version or what..
I have since installed a brand new one on one of my domains and have started to install banners..we will see if it's faster
cleo had a great way of setting it up..I saved it somewhere and I'll look for it and post it..

I found it..
here it is from Cleo

I have a whole lot of niches so it would a little different then how a niche specific list like your might do it. Also I have one horizontal banner spot and two vertical spots per page.

I add one or two banners per niche per sponsor. I just keep on adding them in as I join new sponsors. Once in awhile I'll go in and start pulling sponsor's banners if I don't them pulling in sales, but I'l leave them in there for a very long time before pulling something. Mostly I try to have a lot of variety on banners with different sale approaches per niche. I do often do an ad for the horizontal spot and then using that banner as my template I make up a vertical ad for the same site.

I have folder on my server that I make up one page per sponsor and on that page I put all of that sponsor's ads that I will add into the banner rotator. It makes for an easy copy and paste of code. Like on this page http://cleos-porn-links.com/a/wepayyou/

I made up one Campaign per niche per horizontal or vertical placement so I have two Campaigns per niche.

I also made up two Zones, one horizontal and one vertical, that I use for my main pages and any page that isn't niche specific. I can then add in ads from the Campaign as I feel appropriate, usually more mainstream porn for the horizontal spot and just about everything in the vertical spots.

About the only thing I don't like about my system is that if I get a banner that is appropriate for more then one niche I have to duplicate it and move it into that niche. Not a big deal, but more work later on if I decide to edit or pull that ad since there will be more then one copy.

It's nice being able to go to my Inventor screen as see exactly what ads are where per niche, this is absolutely fucking fantastic!!! Also viewing by Banner overview screen is great for a fast visual of what ads are showing where and in what niche.

I also made up a few different Advertisers so I have one for surfer ads, one for webmaster ads, etc. In my last banner rotator I mixed all the ads together and it became overwhelming have so many different ads geared to different audiences all mixed together.

Once I have enough ads in my database I may start using the feature that allows me to show different ads to different surfers based on what country they are coming from. From what I can tell this is a $150 per year fee to be hooked into the database. Imagine serving up the correct banners in the correct language that offered the correct type of program for that surfer. I'm going to need a whole lot more ads in my database to do this.

Isn't the board's search function a wonderful thing…

yeap - it's great post from Cleo :)

And don't forget to backup your MySQL databases. I have a mixture of server scripts and crontabs doing mine automatically. If that seems a bit overwhelming PhpMyAdmin has a fast manual way to backup your databases to your desktop.

No matter what you do be sure to backup or when you least expect it, usually after you have invested a lot of time and energy creating a database, something goes horrible wrong and poof your database is gone.

I've got phpads up and running and working for the most part, rotating banners and whatnot. The problem I'm having is that I can't get it to generate codes with mouseovers and alt text in remote invocation mode. I can get those things in remote invocation for javascript, but that produces a lot of text, rather than the much shorter version in remote invocation. I'm shooting for something like the 5 buttons in the table at the top of this page.

Anyone else encounter this problem?
