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

The best available package for the same is

Multiple Install (Instances) of OpenX

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Question:

Yes, I am wainting for an associate, but it is a project to configure various openx installations to work whithin one main openx installation. We have many portals running, each one with its own openx installation, but we want to create like our own advertising network and run campaings in all portals at the same time, and be able to have reporting for all advertisers
Have you seen this scenario before? Using a main openx install to serve other openx installs?
or is this idea wrong? Ok, let me know if you come up with a suggestion, for I dont know if we can manage to manage many openx installs, from a main install

Answer:

Yes, I think you are talking about multiple instance of OpenX with centralized Database (or say OpenX), right?

We have setup this system for our number of clients who have 5-10M+ impressions per day to reduce load on server.

We can setup multiple OpenX to delivery ads(banners) and all summarized statistics will be stored in central database and advertiser/publishers and admin can see all statistics.

Let me know if you need different type of setup and give more details on it. We can setup for you depends on feasibility.

Waiting for positive reply from you.

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
Iraq 20000 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.

(Please give us confirmation so we can start work on this module.)

OpenX over Zedo

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Question:

We are an adnetwork firm, we do serve more than 60 MM impressions / month across the globe, we were using Zedo for ad serving, now we want to shift to OpenX Ad server due
to some issues with Zedo, we do serve Banners,Pops,Contextual,Text
ads,floating ads, want to know more about your services and support, we
had already insatlled OpenX @ our end, wanted to know is there any
chance of doing contextual targeting in OpenX, if so can you guys
provide me the details of service & support

Answer:

As we know, for displaying contextual targeting banners, we have to crawl page and we need to gather all keywords in page which is not possible in openx.

So, we have other option is we can give keywords in source variables in invocation code and it will display related banners.

Our services and supports:

Still OpenX is not giving full control in displaying banners according to keywords. We can make it as you want, even we can customize this functionality according

to your (unique) requirements.

Also, we can do some other way to display best appropriate banner in publisher sites.

1) We can implement category targeting in OpenX so that most banners will displayed in sites which are in its targeted category.

2) We can extract some keywords from site URL and we can allow advertiser to give list of keywords and if both are matched then OpenX will give higher priority to this banner.

Implementation Time: 15 days.

Still, we need your detailed final requirements so we can go further on this.

OpenX tags in ASP Web pages

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

I have a website built in ASP and OpenX running on a separate Unix server. There are two things that I am requiring assistance with.

1. I am using OpenX as more of a dynamic content management tool. Once someone lands on the site and we know specific important things about them that would determine what content they would see, like language, geography, referring url, etc., we want to have those variables or referring traits follow them to subsequent pages so that the correct content continues to appear.

You are saying that “I am using OpenX as more of a dynamic content management tool.”. So, can you tell us how you are using OpenX dynamically in details?

Here, are you asking us to make changes in your site such that those variables will pass in your subsequent pages? .

So, time for this work will depend upon how many pages you have in your sites

2. I need to install code in the ASP webpages around the OpenX tags that would test whether content was delivered from the OpenX application and if not, would insert a default image or html instead. The problem, as I understand it, is that the best way to do this is by using the XML-RPC invocation codes. Since the website is written for ASP, I was told that an XML-RPC library and a custom script would allow this type of solution to work. Anyway you feel this could be done would be fine.

I think we can use javascript code to display.


I hope that you can help me finish the site by providing these functions. Please let me know the approximate timing.

All this work will take 7 days.
