Hi Guys,

After months of searching for a decent banner exchange and only finding terrible old sites with VERY limited features.
I've decided to write one myself.

( Test url )
http://217.174.254.30/other_sites/imads/index.php

Anyway, Im trying to also be a bit different to the others with some good features.

*Apart from the normal functions of a banner exchange.
Im gonna add a ( realtime stats ) interface so you can see what ads are being displayed in realtime via a ajax interface ( almost complete )

* support for different kinds of ads ( buttons, banners , google style text )

I have a few other ideas also.



Your review:

- Please let me know what you think about the design? ( Took about an hour, so may not look great )
- Any features YOU think should be part of the exchange?




Thanks
Graham

You spelled "recieving" wrong.
Live realtime stats is kind of redundant.

The realtime stats will be a nice feature so people can see if they are getting any return from registering with your site. Nice idea.

Hi, Thanks.
Updated my terrible spelling

yeah, While evidently having stats is a given.
Ive just found that a lot of sites have either crap stats or very delayed.

I will be giving them realtime stats ( you will see it update infront of you when your banner gets displayed )
It will also see what site it was displayed on and if the user it was displayed to actually clicked it.

I think such kind of web sites should not have too many images aboard. That is really important. As for me everything is in the proportion.

What do you mean?

You think the site should be plain with no images?

Thanks for the info

What sort of features do you plan on installing? I've been looking around for a good one too, but they are indeed in short supply.

The perfect exchange would have:
- changeable ratio (perhaps even with categories of users, each category it's own ratio, and also an option to change ratio per type-of-website
- free credits on signup
- unlimited number of bannersizes (admin decides)
- multiple banners per user, multiple campaigns per user possible
- selling credits, integrated paypal (or other service)
- referral system: free credits for bringing in new members
- anti-cheat system, blocking F5
- categories for site
etc.

Thankyou, Very good reply.
Welcome to webmaster-talk.

Yes, Pretty much all ( ill try and get ALL ) of those will be added.

The anti-cheat will be in there. ( Infact its already completed )
Basically it logs the IP address and wont count the IP as a impression for 1hour. ( Although it will still show as a hit on the counter.. It wont generate a credit for that user. )

Yes there will be a referral system ( The more users you bring to the system and the more impressions those users generate will also increase the amount of "free" credits you get.

You will be able to choose the category and im trying to think up of some kind of rule to base ratio changing.

IE: certain cats have different ratio's
So for instance if
Art: Had more click throughs in general than lets say Business . Then the art cat would have a tighter ratio
( Still bringing clicks to the user with out the need to show millions of impressions )

Still working on that to make it fair and useful.

Obviously teh whole point of the system is to generate useful traffic for webmasters at a very cheap or free cost.

So the better i can make the system the better our chances are of getting good click throughs.

Thanksagain
Graham

Since I am considering to build an exchange (for my niche), I'd be very interested to hear if you'd be willing to share the code somehow

I hope that even you people are aware of the benefits and importance of link exchange in the online optimization. I am having some paid directories, which you can see below. If you feel that any of the directory is suitable for your sites, I can give you freefeatured link for lifetime in high quality and well maintained directories, which are actually paid links for others but free for you. So, if you are interested in exchanging link with my site, it will be beneficial for both us. Waiting for your positive reply. For any Query you can contact me via mail. And your sites should have 2 or 3 PR. Just send me PM having details of your sites.It should be Automotive.
