offer a CPC model

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Question :

can we create a directory listing for companies in the reverse mortgage business and would like to offer a CPC model ?

Answer:

I think you may already have site which displays list of companies in the reverse mortgage business or you may want to create a site.

In this site, you want to display ads in some target based it may be company targeted ads or country/city targeted ads

As of now this targeting ads is not present in openx so we can able to do this by writing customized plugins

We will make new plug-in which will generate target based invocation code from this we can able to target ads as you want for any city, country, company pages.

And we can give UI to advertiser where he can select his targeted pages of directory site and he can display his banners in CPC model.

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.

Admin Set Toggling Banners

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Question:

i am using OpenX adserver tool for my site.  i want to set the time of display for  every banners.

Answer:

we can customize for this requirement.

Allows toggling of banners using a single invocation code.

In OpenX an invocation code will display only a single banner, but by using this mod, you can display two banners in one zone.

    This will create a new invocation code, which the publisher needs to paste in his page.When the page is requested by the user, banners will be displayed one by one, after few seconds (time will be set by the Administrator). The invocation code will change the banners automatically.

    The administrator can set time for which a single banner should be displayed.

    The probability of clicking the banner by the user will increase, which is an advantage for the publisher and the administrator.

what is OpenX Vs Google ad manager

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Question:

I would like to get feedback from webmasters who have used Google Ad Manager and OpenX, would like to know which one they prefer and why?

Answer:

Both of these have the advantages of serving not only your own banner ads (from sponsors or advertisers) as well as AdSense or other banners – based on geographical location.

I guess the advantage of Google Ad Manager is that the system is all controlled by Google – so I don’t have to worry about maintaining and updating any other scripts or packages on my web server.

However, the disadvantage could be that as Google get further into banner ads and online advertising, people will start to use Ad blockers against them. I don’t want my paying advertisers to potentially be blocked. we need to pay for google admanager for using the adsense. but, no need to pay for openx. all admin control with us. so openx is best tool for the online advertiser.
