ProfitPapers.com: PHPAdsNew and Google Adsense Integration

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 07:03:27 -0500

Surf around the web for a while and you're sure to notice something similar about a lot of the pages out there - the Google Adsense ads. They've almost become something people expect on a site (well, except for the large commercial ones), and, utilized correctly, they can have a positive effect on your wallet. In this new post from Miles Evans, he lets us in on a secret of how to use phpAdsNew to work with his Google ads.

Alright this is a powerful concept with very little effort on your part. I went over the open source PHPAdsNew in a previous review but I didn't really get into some of its slicker features, specifically when it comes to integration with your favorite contextual ad publishing system. In this tutorial I will go over how I use PHPAdsnew to help me create, track, test and dynamically rotate my Google Adsense ads.

Once you've gotten phpAdsNew installed, you're only nine steps away from reaching a setup just like his. It makes use of the customization allowed of the HTML on the adsense ads to create custom rotating ads.

PHPit.net: Building an advertising system with PHP (Part 1)

Wed, 30 Nov 2005 07:26:17 -0600

On PHPit.net today, there's a new tutorial targeted at anyone out there looking to roll your own ad system for your site.

Most of us who run websites will most likely want to add advertising on our websites some time in the future. The easiest way to do this is to simply take the advertising code (be it HTML or JavaScript), and paste it directly into the code of our HTML. But what if we eventually get multiple advertisers for the same spot?

In that case you must use some sort of advertising management script. The best one around, phpAdsNew, is completely free and can be downloaded at http://www.phpadsnew.com, but this might be slightly overkill for most websites.

In this article, the first part of a new three part series, I will show you how to build your own advertising system. In this first part I will take you through the basics of dynamic JavaScript, and how to serve multiple advertisements in the same spot. Let's get started.

He starts with the Javascript side of things, showing how to use an included JS file to create dyanmic content (much like the Google Ads). From there, it's all a matter of PHP on the backend that pulls out the content you need and pushes it back out to the patiently waiting Javacript...

Colin Viebrock's Blog: MySQLi in PHPAdsNew 2.0.7

Thu, 17 Nov 2005 05:47:00 -0600

Colin Viebrock has posted this new item on his blog today with a patch for PHPAdsNew to integrate mysqli support.

Here is a quick patch for users of PHPAdsNew who are running their site on PHP5 and MySQL 4.1.

PHP5 introduced support for an enhanced MySQL 4.1 library called MySQLi. If you've compiled in MySQLi support into your copy of PHP, then you should use the newer, more efficient MySQLi functions to access the database.

You can download the patch directly from his website...
