right now for my site i have a static 468x60 banner and i'd like to put the phpadsnew code into it so i can start doing CPM based campaigns. how would i go about it.



Is phpadsnew easy to implement into links sql?

<%if category_name eq 'Home'%>
<a href="http://www.jtlnet.com/servers.html">
<img src="<%build_images_url%>/468x60.gif" width="468" height="60" border="0"></a>
<%else%>
<img src="<%build_images_url%>/468x60.gif" width="468" height="60" border="0">
<%endif%>

Yes, this script is quite easy to use. If you look at the Phpadsnew admin, you will see that you can create different categories and call a banner size and category on each lsql template quite specifically. Really you need to read the PDF manual that comes with PHPadsnew. It's all there

I don't think that <%if category_name eq 'Home'%> works.

Do you have to build your Links pages as .php or can they stay as .html?

------------------------------------------

There is many ways to call banners. Again read the pdf file that comes with it. Iframes allow you to call banners on any type of file, static or dynamic.

Pages can stay as HTML, no problems with that.

On my site I have added the code to call the phpadsnew banner as a .txt template, and then include that template in the category and search templates. There are certainly many ways to call the banners, I ended up using Javascript as it was easiest even though some users may not see the ads.

I am getting pretty good results matching meta keywords on my category pages with the keywords I assign to the ads. It's all in the manual, it just takes some time to play around with it .

I'm using PHPADS New on my site which is a hybrid LinksSQL/Regular HTML site. My site was originally designed with Dreamweaver and used PHPADS New. It takes a while to learn to do stuff with it but by reading the manual you can pretty much customise it anyway you want. I have a liking for the Google-style text advertisements and found the best way to implement it was using the Iframe feature.

The folks here at GT re-designed my site using LinksSQL and to retain the PHPADS New setup they set up an "includes" section of the website and it runs great.
