How To Install And Run PhpAdsNew
What is phpAdsNew? It is great script written in PHP
which can be used to manage different ad campaigns on
your website. PhpAdsNew supports http://scriptinstallationservice1.blogspot.com/ banners of any size
(including flash banners), pop-ups, text ads and many
different types of rich media ads. Using this script
you can manage third party ads, e.g. ads from banner
exchanges. And the good message is that this script is
free.
How to install phpAdsNew?
First, ensure that your web hosting provider offers PHP
support (PHP 4.0.4 or higher) and MySQL database
(3.23.3 or higher). Then download the zip or tgz
package and unzip it to your hard drive. You can use
WinZip or Total Commander to do this. Now upload the
files to your web host. Change the permissions of the
config.inc.php file using "chmod a+w config.inc.php".
Create new MySQL database with any name, e.g. phpadsnew
(or use existing database). Now you are able to run the
installer. Point your browser to
[http://www.yourdomain.com/phpadsnew] (or another
folder where you copied the files). Follow the
instruction on the screen and finish the installation
process.
Another and easier solution how to install this PHP
script is to sign up for a quality web hosting service
which offers pre-installed PHP scripts. Then easily go
to your control panel, find the section with pre-
installed scripts and select phpAdsNew. The installer
will do all the job for you. All you need to do is to
choose the script you want to install.
How to run phpAdsNew?
Go to admin interface and create at least one zone.
Zone is the place on your website where the ads will be
displayed (e.g. top banner on the home page can be zone
1, bottom banner on the section page zone 2 etc.). Then
create a new client. When you're done, create new
campaign for this client. You can set up the zone(s),
limit of banner / text ads / rich media... impressions,
when the campaign will start and finish, the frequency
at which the ad will be shown and many other options.
Ok, we have some campaigns now and they are
successfully running. But every advertiser wants to
check the results of his campaign. From this reason
phpAdsNew has very detailed stats section. Your
advertisers (or you if you use this script to manage
your own ads) will be able to see how many times was
particular ad viewed by the website visitors and click
through rate (how many % of visitors clicked the ads).
In addition, you can watch weekly and daily stats.
Stats can be exported to *.csv file (data from *.csv
files can be opened by software like MS Excel on your
computer).
I hope you will find these information helpful when you
will start using phpAdsNew. If you will need some
advanced functions I suggest to open
phpAdsNew/misc/documentation folder where are stored
three *.pdf files with very detailed description of
this script. The first one, administrator-guide.pdf,
will help you with the installation process and
configuration. Developer-guide.pdf is for advanced
users with PHP knowledge. The most important file is
user-guide.pdf which will provide you by all the
functions. Btw. this file has 109 pages. Good luck!
