Is it possible, if anyone knows any free sites that may have this script, it would come in very handy for me. And i would love you forever of course.

Its for a banner exchange. If a visitor goes to my site, i get one impression. Not a lot really.

So what if he stays on the same page for one minute, every 5 or 10 seconds, the banner could refresh, couldnt it, therefore getting me 6 impressions instead of one.

Anyone no of such a script?

This might come in handy, it's a banner generator: http://www.htmlbasix.com/banner.shtml

Is this the type of script you have been looking for?

Your idea is the same with me!

That's a good idea


we'll retitle the thread "How to get banned from an advertising publisher" should we ??

So you don't think that several impressions a few seconds apart from the same IP would raise a red flag.

Or

that most advertisers are stupid enough not to ignore a page refresh when counting banner impressions

I don't think so! I only make a banner rotater. And banner is belong to the difference advertisers. 10s for one banner, do you think about it?

A banner rotator is not what the OP was looking for.

However the same applies there, even though the ads are from different advertisers.

A page refresh will not (or should not) increase the impression count of any advert. So with a rotator you would get 1 impression from each advert.
If this was not the case, it would be entirely possible for anybody to create a script and leave a browser window open racking up impressions 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Do you not think there would be safeguards against this happening ????

Hope you don't mind if I throw my 2 cents in. I can see legitimate uses for this as well as illegitimate. I remember reading in the news how some electronic billboards in some large cities are now displaying ads for a certain number of seconds before transitioning to the next ad - banner rotation on the billboard scale. Of course, those advertisers are aware of the fact that they're not being displayed constantly which is what makes it acceptable to me.

I'd suggest, also, that seeking impressions is not the key -- don't you want sales? Perhaps someone markets multiple products and wants to have an area which shows all their products over the time that someone spends on a page - reading an article, for example.

I know, I know, there are so many affiliate marketers out there who do some immoral and illegal things, but their actions should reflect on them and their use of the tool or method, not the tool itself.

i needed to do this to reload an authentication session trigger page (to keep a php auth session alive)

i did it by creating an iframe:

 <iframe id="trigger" src="session_trigger.php"  style="width:0px; height:0px; border: 0px"></iframe>

and reloading it with a javascript like the following:

 function Reload() {
var f = document.getElementById("trigger");
trigger.contentWindow.location.reload(true);
}
setTimeout("Reload()",180000);

I know code from a book.... would that be illegal to post it?
