March 16th, 2010

Question:

I would like to know what technique do you use to generate the minutes spent on a rich media ad?

Does the interaction time start once the rich media ad is loaded or does the interaction time start once a mouseover is done on the rich media ad?

Answer:

The interaction time is duration of  communication between User and the Advertisement banner. It can be calculated by various mouse operations like Mouse move and Click on banner. In Openx, The interaction time is calculated as the average time between banner displayed in page and banner has clicked by user.

Customization in Banner Size Restriction

March 16th, 2010

Question:

Hi,

I noticed that advertisers account allows them to change banner size. But I don’t want to allow this… Is it possible?
The zone attached to its campaign must be able to display 728*90 and 468*60 banners, so I have to setup “custom” in its size field. and then the advertiser can upload 1000*1000 banner if he wants…
Thanks

Answer:

Yes,you can set the restrictions to the advertiser that he/she cannot change the banner size.But there is no predefined functionality is available.

We can do the customization work easily , so we can do this kind of new functionality effectively and quickly .

Question

I try to link new user with advertiser. I have created an advertiser and I try to add user to this advertiser by clicking user access tab a then add user. When I click add user nothing is happening. I work as default manager. How to add new user and link it with advertiser ?

Answer

In OpenX 2.8.4 there is no option to add the user to the advertiser.So,you will not be able to add the user to your advertiser.For that OpenX needs to have the advertiser SignUp module to achieve this.

Question
Hello, I want to make Adbrite clone (having functionality same as adbrite). Is it possible to make it from OpenX?

I want mainly below functionality.

  • Default banner with min eCPM

3) Site Directory

4) Referral System

Answer

  • Yes, adbrite has number of unique functionality like inline ads, full page ads. Currently OpenX is not supporting this by default but we can customize OpenX and can implement this functionality.

  • Also, we can have site directory and referral system.

Openx to display Ads in Word press

January 1st, 2010

<!– @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –>

<!– @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } A:link { color: #0000ff; so-language: zxx } –>

QUESTION

I am a word-press user looking for an ad management system that can handle my servers’ CPU usage. I currently use a plug in by maxblogpress.com that apparently is not working right for my needs as host-gator has suspended my website due to excessive CPU usage.

In the hunt to find a solution, I stumbled across open X. It appears to be much more powerful than I am use to. My question is, does open X consume too many resources for a basic host-gator server? I have a reseller’s package. My site doesn’t use much bandwidth or disk space, but apparently it uses excessive amounts of CPU.

I’m not sure ,the CPU issue maybe because I add a zone in each post manually instead of hard coding it in the word press script? I have no clue. But what is important is 300×300 banners in post.

ANSWER

<!– @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –>

Open X is best option to server ads in your site. Open X won’t load your server as it has all delivery of banners in optimized way. In short, it will give you more functionality in less server use.

I have gone through your site. There are many images in homepage and ads which takes much load.

We can help you by installing Open X for your site which has number of other advantages like you can link banners to zone from UI. You can call advertiser to display ads in your site and they can see their statistics.

Also, let us know if you need any support in Word press as well.
