Banner Rotation without reloading

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Question:

Is it possible to have with the latest version of OpenX some banners automatically rotated in the same position in the same page with different weights, without reloading the webpage?
For example two or three banners automatically rotated in the same position with a JavaScript…

Answer:

Yes,You have the option in latest version of the Openx.

You have to copy the iFrame invocation tag code instead of copying javascript invocation tag code to put in the website zone.

At the same time you need to specify the time difference between the banner delivery.for this you have an option called refresh after.You need to specify the time interval in that place.

QUESTION : Can you suggest the packet that would allow :

1. advertisers register themselves automatically, enter account

2. advertisers be able to add and edit all banners themselves

3. but those banners become active ONLY after admin moderates them postfactum

ANSWER :  The “Advertiser Registration Module with All Permission” will allow the Advertiser to Create, Edit and Delete the Campaigns and Banners. Advertiser will be also able to Link the Banners to the zones.
Let us know the link details,. Do you want the Advertiser to create the campaigns also?

Regarding the Banner, he should be able to create, edit and delete the Banners. we can have a UI for the Administrator that lists all the banners that are created or edited by Advertisers. Admin can Activate , deactivate state or Reject them.

Custom Niche Adnetwork for Bloggers

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Question:

I have experimented a little bit with OpenX and in my opinion the functions you can use to configure advertisment and ad space to display ads is too much for a casual advertiser/ publisher, it’s very complicated.

Do your mods simplify those doings singnificant?

My goal is to setup my own ‘OpenX monetization platform’ and to use the OpenX marketplace to connenct publishers and advertisers to make revenue!

For me it is actually not clear how to deduct the ‘cut’ within the OpenX system.
I hava also thought to implement a option for signup bonus and a afilliate program. Can this be done with OpenX?

I need to setup a platform like this one mentioned

Answer:

Our Mods can add additional features to the Openx to make the it more functional and efficient.

We can guide you to use Openx.              We can also go with the New User Interface for the Advertisers and Publishers with the basic functionalities, and can have the openx as the back end.

Also the Admin can use the Default Openx to make all the settings.

The developed UI for the Advertiser/ Publisher can be build with the limited functionality and you can have your own templates .

We can also implement the bonus functionalities for the sign up and the affiliate program as you require.

Provide us more details about how you need the Advertiser/Publisher Page, if we need to develop apart from the Openx.

As well provide the documentation of the functionalities that you require for the Advertiser/ Publisher functionality development, Bonus functions for Signup and Affiliate program.

So that  we can get back to you with clear plan and with exact things which you would require.

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Question:

Currently, we’re looking for this module for our website. By the way I’m the OpenX Admin of my client’s advertising site. My client would have been interested in buying this product if it’ll satisfy our needs and requirements.

These are the following requirements we’ve talk about the Bidding Software which I hope can help you figure things out about the Bidding Software that my Boss wanted to buy.

The software will enable a Bidding Process where in the advertisers can place bids.

The publisher’s can choose whether to accept or decline the advertiser’s bid/s. We need to be able to keep the publishers identity hidden.

The advertisers can change their account information and see how much money they have spent/ earned.

The advertisers can search for available and space through this system and read a little paragraph about the publishers to help them choose if they like the publisher and the ad space available they can place a bid for that ad zone.

Please discuss the step by step process and requirements or everything that deals with this product. We would be interested to buy if the product will satisfy our needs at a reasonable price.

Also, I searched through OpenX Mods Website

about some of your plugins for sale. We are also interested for this product, mainly
Advertiser and Publisher registration module with all permissions, Billing System Integration with authorize.net or Billing System Integration with paypal

Could it be possible that this functionality are available also in the Bidding Software? I mean all this products were packaged into one Bidding Software?

Also please answer the following questions from my Client whose interested in buying your products..

Advertiser and Publisher registration module with all permissions:

- Is the price per month? or is it a fee we pay only once?
- What kind of access and control do we have in this system?
- Can we add and delete advertisers and publishers?
- Can we block publishers?
- Is our approval required before they can register or become available to each other?
- Can we edit any of their settings/ wordings?
- Is there a limit to how many advertisers and publishers we can have in the system?
- Would this offer geo targeting too?

Billing System Integration with authorize.net :

Can we set a limit as to how many impressions can be bought based on how many impressions the website receives per month?

Software System for Bidding Process
For you other suggestion regarding the bidding software, how would the ads be served? Would we have to do this ourselves or does this system do it?

Hoping to hear from you soon. I’ll wait for your reply. Thank you very much!
