OpenX to handle billion ad impressions per month

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Question:

We are planning to show up to 1 billion ad impressions per month.

I’m looking for help in folowing:
1. Understanding which servers we neeed
2. Installation and configuration
3. custom module, lets possibility to set delivery limitations like:

For banner A
USA 100000 impressions per day
Pakistan 1000 impressions per day
Iraq 20000 impressions per day

Answer:

1. Understanding which servers we need

There is no exact answer for this questions. It depends upon number of parameters like delivery limitation, targeting, which type of banners (swf, image) etc.

You can go for Quad core Xeon E5320 processor with 2 to 4 GB RAM.

https://developer.openx.org/wiki/display/DOCS/Performance+Tuning

2. Installation and configuration

We will install OpenX in your server and we will configure it such that it can deliver banner efficiently. Also, we will set cron job for maintenance script.


3. custom module, lets possibility to set delivery limitations like:

For banner A
USA 100000 impressions per day
Pakistan 1000 impressions per day

è Yes, we can make this functionality. We will make one module which will allow you(or advertiser) to set this settings in banner property/ delivery limitation page and OpenX will use this targeting info in delivery such that it will not deliver more impressions per day per country then given.

Implementation of this functionality will take 2 to 3 days.

Billing System integration (PayPal) with Admin Control

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Question:

Can we set default impressions, clicks and conversions for the campaigns by admin?

Answer:

We have create one plugin “Billing System integration (PayPal) with Admin Control”
This plugin is using for the following
This provides one control panel for admin. Admin can set default impressions, clicks, and conversions for new campaigns. Before buying an inventory advertisers can test those.
After buying the impressions for campaign, impression booked for that campaign will be the purchased amount.
Then advertisers will not be able to change all impression, clicks etc things… because they have purchased an amount of impression and no need of resetting that.
This will integrate a billing system with PayPal which will allow advertisers to purchase campaigns inventory.
Here, the administrator can set the banner’s price per 1000 impressions or 1000 clicks and the advertiser will be able to purchase 1000 clicks or 1000 impressions through PAYPAL.
After purchasing impressions, advertiser’s campaign will be added by purchased clicks or impressions.

Hide Past Inactive Campaigns

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Question:

i want to hide inactive campaigns which are expired, in the campaign overview page.

Answer:

This will not hide campaigns which will be activated in future.

For example, if Advertiser has a campaign set to active tomorrow, and now if the Advertiser clicks on hide inactive campaigns link, it will hide all inactive campaigns from view.

It means it will hide campaigns which will be activated in future also. (And this is what most advertisers don’t want because he want to manage all current campaign and future campaigns)

So, this will help for such kind of Advertisers.

They could see all active campaigns and all future campaigns also, so that Advertiser will find it easy-to-manage active campaigns in their current view.
