Linking Zone for Campaign

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Question:

I’m trying to create a new zone for an campaign. I’ve followed the openx video but get stuck on the part where it talks about copying the inventory into the web site html as I don’t seem to get the page to allow me to do that?
Anyone help?

Answer:

We can’t create zone for particular campaign. We can link that campaign to that zone easily.

First you  need to create website , Under that website  you can create number of zones. from this you can link your  particular campaign to zones.

To create zone, follow this,

Just login as admin and switch to default manager account, In that click on the “Inventory” menu tab , Then click on “Website ” option tab.

After the creation of Website , in that page itself there is one option available “Add New Zone”, just click on that you can create number of zones.

After creation of the zone, in that page itself there is one option available “linked banners”, just click on that you can redirect another page, In there you need to select “link banners from parent campaign”. Then under that you can select advertiser and campaign to link for that zone.



Adbrite clone using OpenX !!

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

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.

1) Advertiser Functionality

  • Advertiser can bid on zone on selected zone.
  • Full page ads, inline ads

2)Publisher Functionality

  • Publisher can create zone, set color, type of zone
  • 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.
  • If you want to make site like adbrite then we cant use OpenX default template/UI as both has many differences so we need to make new UI having adbrite functionality using OpenX as backend.
  • We can make new advertiser signup, creating banner, Publisher Signup, creating zone, statistics for adv/pub, payment system for adv/pub.
  • Also, we can have site directory and referral system.

Let us know if you are interested to make clone of adbrite. Send your requirement to info@openxservices.com or info@dreamajax.com now.

Managing ads by advertiser

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Question :

The advertiser should be able to upload his graphics/ad details and manage the ads by day-part, location, coupon text/graphics/flash (auto-customized by location based on XML information from phone) e.g. welcome to New York Time\’s Square Starbucks! come in for 30% off a large coffee — the location and coupon details should be reflective of the location received from the phone — advertiser should have ability to set these parameters and to view ads via Google map API, and other reporting (day-part) We will need to keep track of all the Data & Request, we need to create MIS (Management Information System) that takes care of the same. OpenX website will be for advertisers / users to log in… to setup there accounts… advertisement the data will be saved in server database… webservices will pull that data and prase in xml We will need the site to integrate with google checkout & paypal. Advertisers will set daily budget and account will automatically refill every 24 hrs when daily budget has diminished.

Answer:

Openx is already providing Xml RPC type of invocation code, managing ads can be done in openx called targeting it’s a customized feature , so that it will target ads what ever way you want like age , sex, profile, location etc,

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.
