Hi, I'm currently making a website where the owners want background ads (a ad as background on the whole site). It is quite easy to make in css: body { background-image: url('ad.jpg'); repeat, color..... } But, they want it to be a link. It is a little bit harder so I need some help with that. I have tried with something like...
I'm looking for a best practice to synchronize 3 separate flash banners displayed on the same page. Basically all of them need to preload (politely), notify they're all prepared after what a command would somehow launch the animation of the 3 of them synchronously making them act like one and single add. The solution needs to be x-br...
I used a script many years ago that was basically and administrative backend where we could submit advertising banners (etc) and set up parameters (show forever, until x many clicks/impressions). I can't remember for the life of me what it was called though, and I'm needing to use it again. I thought for a second it was phpMyAd, but go...
I have an open source project on CodePlex. Today I went to "Edit Project Summary & Details" page to make some modification. I noticed a new check box "Use Advertisements from The Lounge". I just wonder if anyone takes advantage of display ads on CodePlex? How does it works? ...

I have searched online for this and came across an article that suggested I should use an image to track human page views because search engine and bots don't download images. It said I should put the image code in javascript like: document.write('code here'). The system I am developing heavily depends on accurate unique user visits the ...
Some display advertising campaigns are very JavaScript heavy and it has a jarring effect on page load time because the ad is generally inline JavaScript - the useful parts of the page doesn't render until the ad did its thing. A solution seems to be to load the ad in an iframe in order to display useful content to a user while the ad lo...
I'm building a Rails web app and was wondering what is the best way to get a list of products that Amazon would return based on a search term? For example, if I sent amazon the term "iphone", I'd get a list of iphones back from Amazon. Does anyone know if there's a gem or library for Rails out there that would fit this need? ...
I'm not sure if the title conveys the best approach to my problem, so let me step back a little bit. My company is setting up an advertisement affiliate program.

I have a friend that has been in the advertising industry for 20 years or so, 10 of which he has been self-employed. He is a 'creative director', which means that he develops concepts, sells them to clients, writes copy, produces media (print or video), etc. Think Michael and Elliot's characters in the show 'Thirtysomething'. Recently...

What would be a good hosted ad manager for displaying advertising on a site? I've heard OpenX, but never used it. ...
We use OpenX for serving ads on our websites. Received a complaint (with a screenshot) from one of our clients - "Why do I get the ad on your homepage linking to an adult site?". Everything seems fine on the server side and none of us could replicate the problem on the server. Looks like it is a client side issue. Is it some type of a ...
I've got a site called http://www.manglebracket.com. It's a handy little web app for converting Word documents to HTML. I want to monetize it with Adsense-style ads, but the standard "paste this JavaScript into your site" won't work for my use case. Basically, the user uploads a Word doc and goes to a "workspace" page where they choose ...
I have a few apps on the iPhone app store, and I have some questions about how my app description is available on third party sites. There are other websites that advertise and promote apps just like the app store, how do they get all the info? Is there some sort of RSS feed from Apple that I don't know about? I have also gotten a few e...

If this question is totally off/misplaced, please let me know so I can close it. The question is, when you finish building a web application (like twitter, vimeo, stackoverflow, 43things... more apps than websites), how do you spread it virally across the web? What means are existent for a tight budgeted young entrepreneur who wants his...
I have an iframe that references an external URL that serves up pages that contain Flash adverts. I need to track how often a customer clicks on one of those adverts. The approach I am taking is to render a div element over the iframe. This allows me to intercept the click event, however I need to pass that click down to the iframe. Is...
I am currently writing an interal advertising system for a company client's website, where the adverts will only be seen by internal users, and all transactions take place internally to the site (i.e. the adverts are for member-only content available on the site).
