Ad rotating

[bigscripts]

I am looking for free ad rotation that has to have the following:

1. It must allow my advertisers to see thier stats on their own login.
2. It must allow me to set how many impressions i want for each banner.

Thanks,
Cody

WebAdverts lets you set up multiple rotations/groups/etc.

Each advertiser can have his/her own pass and login so they can see impressions served, clicks, impressions left, etc.

Shouldn't be too hard to set up

WebAdverts isn't free, it's shareware- plus, it takes up a helluva lot of space, and I don't like it

I recommend AdCycle http://www.adcycle.com or phpAds - http://www.phpwizard.net/phpads/

Now I'm depressed again :P

My host (your-site.com) doesn't include mySQL databases in their standard hosting package so I can't run either of those programs. I want to run a database-driven PHP site so bad!

I've considered dropping one of my entire sites just so I can afford the extra cost of a mySQL database for my main site (which has a growing amount of information in it that would be easier managed in a database).

Yeah, I think phpAd and adcycle are great options! I tried both and both worked pretty good. So you, bigscript is the guy who registered at http://www.ad-rotator.com, right? How do you like it? I know it doesn't meet your requirements (since it's for single user)

[necrominator]

you shoudl move to a diffrent host, for example phpwebhost.com offers everything for 10 bucks, although im with csoft now, for the 25 bucks a month plan, and they are pretty good.

Dan- check out CGI-Resources... cgi.resourceindex.com

Right now I can't afford to switch hosts (maybe if one of my secondary sites becomes more successful I can) - it's only $5/mo for Your-Site.com and the only thing they don't have for me is unlimited mySQL for free :P

I can get a database with my site for another $4/mo with them.. but I'll have to consider some others later (I saw RocketHost.com had a good $10/mo plan - anybody use it? any good?)

[Son Nguyen]

Check out the web host forum.
I am using hostrocket.com and they're good! Using them, I don't think normal sites need upgrading!

Other good hosts I'm using: cedant.com and tera-byte.com

123Finder,

I need to be able to input how many impressions i want an ad to get. I also want to be able to let my advertisers view their own stats on their own page. Otherwise it is a pretty good service.

Check out adbutler.com It's got everything you asked for.

[bigscripts]

Has anyone ever used advertisementmanager.com before. It seems like a great service but the code I'mm supposed to put into my site doesn't work.

[tuninggear]

im using hostrocket rite now and they rock, give em a try, i highly doubt you'll be disappointed, they have great prices and even better support

[necrominator]

How do these things work? do they ask you to show a percentage of the banners for their site.

[Dan Grossman]

Most of the remotely hosted rotators do. The one I mentioned first is run as a CGI so it's only your ads.

[Son Nguyen]

Ad rotating? I depends on the service, some ask you to pay monthly fee, some is free, but need to have a certain % of sponsor ads. Since without sponsor ads, I don't think they could keep working!

And mine, we are kind of mixture, starting % is 10%, and then the referral system will help you attain pure free rotation system.
My service was just initially released to public for about a week, but I'm proud of its administrator section. See some screenshots at: http://www.ad-rotator.com/demo.html If you're impressed, tell me what you think, I'm in need of some testimonials

If someone feels uncomfortable about this post (unsolicited!), please tell me, I don't mean to spam this forum.

Is it a script or do you remotely host banners.

[Son Nguyen]

Sorry, are you asking me? If yes, I don't understand the questions!
Let me try to guess my site is written in php, and it hosts remote banners for other sites.
