Ad Revenue Sharing Mod (Beta)

[ajay_sparklingboy]

openads.org [nofollow] is a ad server script which allows you to run a d server like Google adsense etc...
I have pointed you to it because you can get some idea regarding click monitoring , etc...

Hi Karlbenson, I think you were going to reply me, but then you forgot

*************

Hi karlbenson,

I have set limitations for recent users, so their banners wont show on Non-Topic zones... but this is not working... people with zero posts are getting impressions.

Any idea ?

[jjyy2006]

Karlbenson,

Feature Request :

Is it possible to add a new membergroup only for maintaining member ads.i need this option please. Also the members ads must also be displayed based on their posts on particular day.

Hope you will reply to me.

[karlbenson]

@ vipmoney - sorry about that
I test a copy on a clean server and people with 0 posts didnt get any views.
I have to be honest, I'd rather not try to track down the bug at this stage (with 2.0 on the way).

@jjyy2006 - Unfortunately Adbrite hasnt made it into the next version.

Theres 4 supported programs in the next version
Adsense, YPN (US-Only), AuctionAds, Amazon Associates (Omakase)
I've chosen those 4 to give a variety of PPC, PPA
The first two require websites, the last two do not.

I did plan on having lots of other programs, Bidvertiser, Clicksor, Adbrite, TextLinkAds. But in a modified version of 1.0 which I tried on one of my site. TLA didnt support all the banner sizes, and Bidvertiser/Adbrite, Clicksor were the very low paying.

@ajay_sparklingboy (re last point), I always reply within 24 hours (usually)

I'm not sure what you mean.
As with 1.0 I've tried to stay away from sharing on impressions and sharing based on post numbers.
This is because the algorithms would need to be over-complex and therefore resource comsuming to work out who can benefit.  It also wouldnt suit large forums or small forums.

[karlbenson]

One final point (as I've been asked this by another user via pm)

Ad Revenue Sharing 2.0 beta will NOT support SMF2.0 beta.

Obvious reason. I'm not charter and hence do not have access to SMF 2.0 beta to test.

Although at some point in the future (probably once all the bugs are kicked out of 2.0 beta) I'll make it compatible.

Thank for the answer (I asked about referrals code and languages). I actually don't need to translate mod, but I'm wondering why it doesn't appear in the menu in Profile if you select other language. I can use it by switching to english, enter my PID and swithc back. Does anone know how to get that Revenue Sharing link in menu (in profile) if other language is selected?

TIA

[karlbenson]

You need to copy all the language strings in the install.xml into your language versions

And create a copy of languages/ManageArs.{yourlanguage}.php from the english version

[karlbenson]

As promised.

Posted Upgrade Patch 1.1
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=715

Fixes
Text-Link-Ads referral ids, since they are changing them
(note everyone with tla will need to upgrade their id)

Fix: Allows adsense ids starting ca-pub-
(I had to change some code for the above fix, which I ripped from 2.0 and that already had part of the ca-pub- fix)

[astawicki]

[karlbenson]

its not an error with the mod.

Its an error with smf or your host.

Do you have the same issue when trying to install any other mods

[astawicki]

No But i will try something

[astawicki]

I uninstall the forum and retry but that did not work

[jjyy2006]

why when i upload the patch1.1 zip file i get this error message :

The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

is that need to do what setting before upload?

[karlbenson]

@jjyy2006 

hmm? The download site is showing 0 downloads of the UPGRADE patch.

I've re-uploaded both zips (since I uploaded them when SMF was having some issues)
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=715

@astawicki
I don't believe its caused by the mod.  I believe it could be your php running on your host.
Please could you ask about it in the general support area as someone there maybe able to help with your specific issue.

[ajay_sparklingboy]

Theres 4 supported programs in the next version

You have told me custom ads can be added ? Also please include text-links.

[jjyy2006]

now i got this error message:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'ON (m.ID_MEMBER = hxxp:p.id [nonactive]_MEMBER)
WHERE hxxp:p.id [nonactive]_MEMBER != 2 AND (p.adsenseid != ' at line 4

[/quote]

Custom ads can be added (being the equivalent of Ad management mod) for the admin ONLY.
Custom ads play NO part in ad revenue sharing. (eg your users ads are never shown in or with custom ads)

Text link ads was dropped because it no doesnt support all the sizes and because it could only support the referral banners for ad revenue sharing.  You will be able to add YOUR banner codes to the custom ads area.

I've gone through the ArsAds file 3 times, can't find anything wrong. In fact afaik, I didnt alter any of that code.

Do you get that message on every page?

Can you check the smf_participants table that adsenseid column is there (and its structure is varchar(23))
