Generate clickthrough add revenues like adsense

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Question :

Can we produce many sites in order to generate clickthrough add revenues such as adsense? I have researched many domainers/bloggers..but a very beginner..I built 20 sites in blogger in a day..looking for a more efficient way or quicker way..as well as to make numerous non-english sites and looking to generate ad revenue…

Answer:

Yes, it’s possible to earn money by purchasing thousand sites and displaying banners (advertisements).

Those sites can be blogs sites, discussion forums, social community sites etc..,

We certain set of strategies to bring traffics to all your sites (SEO) from that you will get more no of clicks and impressions and so revenue also

But to maintain all your sites’ banners, we need to have a adserver i.e. openx (which take control of your advertisements)

Initially, we can use google adsense advertisements. Once you get good traffics to all your sites, you can invite advertisers to advertise in your site
directly without any third party advertise medium (like google adsense). Also, you can display your house campaigns and many more using openx.

cookie for banner capping and voice application

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Question:

OpenX uses cookie for banner capping. I just want to ask whether we can set cookie for voice application or not. Will it be same as we run banner from browser?

Answer:

VoiceXML mostly only support “session cookies”; cookies which expire at the end of a “browser session” not “persistent cookies”.
Because VoiceXML is based on HTTP and the Web development paradigm, it is natural to assume that VoiceXML should support cookies just like “regular” Web sites. You can think of the VoiceXML as a Web browser/interpreter for the telephone. At a fundamental level, both a Web browser and the VoiceXML interpreter share the following characteristics:
• Both fetch resources across the Web using the HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
• Both parse and execute markup languages as well as JavaScript. Web browsers render HTML; VoiceXML interpreters execute VoiceXML.
• Both render resources. Web browsers display images; VoiceXML interpreters play audio.

creating a profit ad network niche

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Question:
I want to use OpenX to create a non-profit ad network in a niche that is charitable in nature. Every site apart of the network would be both advertiser and publisher and it is free to sign up. All sites would add the ad tags and be essentially promoting each other. I am new to this, so there may be a better way to devise this. If so, please make suggestions. I am open to the idea of creating a for profit ad network orientated around the same niche, similar to that of Yahoo and Google ad networks, but not nearly as complex. How much more would this option entail?

I am not sure which product on openxmods.com would be sufficient for what I have described? Can you help me choose which products suits my needs and then figure out if I need any customization?

Answer:

The adserver which is using openx needs to have the following basic mods.

Advertiser/Publisher Registration with/without paypal
Billing System Integration with paypal
Password reminder mod
Unique Impressions & Unique Clicks
Flv Banner for OpenX
Adding Site Name To Ad

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Question :

once I have built up a history of traffic…via adsense… I can invite advertisers to my sites??? As well what about affilate marketing??

Answer:

Once, you got thousands of sites or blogs and you are getting thousands of clicks daily then you can invite advertisers to advertiser in your sites and you can set your own pricing for that.

(I am not sure how you want to use affiliate marketing program (pay per conversion) because affiliate marketing program mostly used by ecommerce sites.)

OpenX has number of functionality and I am sure it will help you to control your advertisements. We can add number of mods to OpenX which will give more functionality to you (as admin) and your advertisers.

OpenX ad serving environment with targeting capabilities and hardware requirement

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Question:

I am looking to build out an OPENX Ad serving environment that can handle 300,000,000 impressions per day.  We want the solution to be US based with physical load balancing accorss 3 data centers (east coast, Central, West coast).   We have lots of hardware and are willing to commit resources to this project.  We want to start with an OPEN X solution that has behavioral and contextual capabilities.  We want to later switch to MSSQL or oracle for the DB to take advantage of triggers and stored procedures.

So to begin, we want a partner that can build this out for us.  To start, we need a hardware requirement list, logic as to how to load balance and create redundancy.
Answer:

We can help you to setup this ad network for you. We have exposure in setting up the server & configuration of it , hardware part of this we recommend you to discuss with the technical team who has expertise in hardware setup.

To distribute load, we can have one central database server and stand-alone image server with multiple OpenX installation in slave server for delivery as below.

We will install OpenX in each server and configure them to work as below.

Also, we can implement Contextual Targeting and Behavior Targeting on each OpenX setup.

We will take care software side in setup but for server requirements, you should consult server experts, they can give better suggestion on this.
