Email Alerts For System Issues (e.g. Maint. Failing)

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:11:09 +0000

Would be nice if the admin was sent an email when the maint. script failed.... This would help the admins catch issues as they are starting to occur.

I really like the alerts to the sales people when their campaigns are about to expire/have expired.

Thanks,

Eric

Preview Campaign Impressions, Detect Problems, Check Free Inventory

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:51:52 +0000

I currently serve direct contract campains and ad networks to fill the remaining inventory, together with house campaigns.

While howse capmaigns are only shown when there are no ads to show, I have a big priority with the direct contract campains, since I have contracts which I have to respect so I have to run a certain amount of ads in my inventory within a certain period of time.

What Openx lacks is the possibility to see if a campaign will be able to fulfill all the impressions until the deadline, ans with the allocated zones (site is divided in several zones), where are the critical campains, and what campaigns can I still run (what is my free space to run campaigns at each time, considering the impressions I have and the campaigns already allocated to my inventory), all based on the past impressions of each zone.

This would be a great improvement for openx to all those running direct contracts who have to respect contracts.

Best regards,
Nuno

Change Ad Server Location Based On User Input (zipcode, City, State)

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:43:30 +0000

Hi Everybody,

I have placed ad server on my website. The website let you customize the page as per your preferences. There are several widgets which you can add such as Events, News, Groups, Weather, etc. The page information gets displayed based on the Locale (City, State or Zip code) you input at the top of the page. Everything gets changed except the ads from Ad Server. Even though I change to different city, the ad is static & doesn't gets changed.

As per my research, I found that the current location is computed based on IP address by the ad server. Is there any way to pass the parameter to ad server for location?
Something like:
http://?city=los+angeles@state=ca or
http://?zipcode=95080

I am new to openx. If you direct me to proper docs or links, that would be great.

Thanks in Advance
Sanjay

Zone Id

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:30:00 +0000

Since lots of people use Joomla and all the Joomla modules rely on zone ids, it sure would be nice of you to add a zone id field to each zone rather than making us look for it in the url string every time we need it.

Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to do.

Thank you.

Development Of Openx

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 17:47:36 +0000

Hi,

We are a dutch agency, serving around 25 mio ads / day. We have been using ox for 1,5 years now, and got quite experienced. I wanted to share some of my positive aspects, and some questions. Hopefully to learn and discuss.

We use OX two sided: a) as an agency, running advertising campaigns on a number of networks, and as publisher for a number of third parties.

The very positive:
OX has been running very stable. We have never had any error, no strange memory leaks or so. We have a very experienced hoster who has distributed the server to a number of front end nodes, mysql machines, and moved the images/swfs/movies to a CDN. Works like a charm.

Second to this is costwise. Compared even to the rock bottom pricing of some commercial packages, we run at 1/5 th of the other systems.

We also had to integrate with some exotic video tools, and could quite easily, not vendor dependent, add extra invocation types, like xml codes. We have done this for silverlight, philips Net TV, and some other players. Absolute commercial freedom, all be it with some sweat.

The ad-types we are able to deliver are often commercially sold as extras. OX has all kinds of Layers, Interstitials, etc included. Standard!

Speed! Our platform is way, way faster then the commercial networks we see here. depends on the install, but its perfect.

The positive

The user rights structure is also perfect. Compared to other systems. We are able to hand our user acces to users, and subusers.

Then there's the thing that we are able to modify parts of the software. We developed some integration with banner 'generation' tools, that needed extra file types. Could do. Perfect, with using the API to create new banners & zones.

Sequencing. OX. has beautifull possibilites for daisychaing, sequencing etc, but it could be soo much easier to use. A trafficker has to learn quite a bit coding before being able to do so.

Could be better

Not really a fault by OX, but some other admanagement systems (notably dart!), consider ox inferior. it seems. So sending out ox codes to dart, gives quite a headache sometimes. Strange thing is: not allways, but sometimes. And offcourse dart won't clarify any reasons for this.

The absense of 'reach' or unique audience as standard is ridiculous. We have developed a plugin for this which needs to set extra cookies, then counts these. And we get data from another screen or by querying mysql.

Data analysis. We have developed raw data logging so we can analyze data with the use of tableau. If anyone is interested in commercializing this, please contact us.

Bluntly missing!

Retargeting. Sending out a cookie with a 1x1 pixel, then retarget banners to this user should be failry simple. Basically its the reverse of setting out a conversion pixel, and should be at the core of the system allready.

An open market for plugins. We have developed some 5 pieces of code, which we should love to discuss / improve. And I'm willing to pay for extra feautures like out of the box reach , BT or Retargeting, but i now feel a lot of people are actually all building this themselves.

Here's my thoughts. Please contact me for more ideas.

Openx Market Reports

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:50:14 +0000

Hi guys,

I am fairly new to OpenX in the fact that I only just started serving ads yesterday! My question is how long does it take for impressions and revenue of OpenX market advertisers to show up in the statistics section? I know my original banners have been replaced by OpenX market advertisers frequently and I would like to see how much I am making from these!!!

Thank you!

Colin

Real-time Reporting

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:52:46 +0000

Hi,

Just wondering whether you had any plans to offer real-time reporting on the ads that we serve. At the moment the 'statistics' only update once every 8 hours or so. Even if it couldn't be real-time, just updating once an hour or so would be hugely beneficial to us.

Let me know your thoughts,

Best Regards,

Hello From Granada

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:04:53 +0000

I’ve only just signed up, and have watched the 2 x 5min tutorials and the 60min tutorial. Which as a publisher (learning) have made my hairs stand on end. I'm filled with a zillion questions, but have been looking at the digital world long enough to know that if I just watch here, before asking, and play with the system a bit. I can probably answer 70% for myself by investigation.
Basically I come from a 35mm film background, supplying equipment, crew, models and locations to the film industry. 5 years ago I started experimenting and making a move in to the digital world, in both Spanish and English. Being a part of various teams making web specific film and video content.
At last I can see a way forward as a publisher, (Not being beholden to one supplier of ads) being able to consider all external suppliers as remnant accounts) that have to do better than any ad I or OpenX can sell locally at any time of day.
I can't wait to get to the point where I pass the level of freebie and have to pass monies to OpenX, because if I get to that level I will be making more out of my quality targeted advertising space.
So I would appreciate some help down the line. I’m willing to give free advise to anybody embarking on the multifaceted road of live action filming and production. I’ve worked all over Europe and North Africa but live and specialize in Spain. With a multitude of original film Video Locations Spain
At the moment I'm testing and learning OpenX on my site iTele.es of which V2 will roll out in a couple of months, and be fully multilingual. It will also have new, user interaction capabilities for my nish Spanish social and video sharing network.

Facebook Connect And Open X?

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:29:36 +0000

With Facebook connect you can use the users demgraphics to get more targeted ads. From their site:

"Beyond just providing a better user experience to target content and experiences to users, some of the information made available via Facebook APIs may help you better target advertisements to users. You may use this information locally within your systems to help better target advertisements, but you may not transfer this information to any 3rd party ad networks whatsoever."

Anyone know any tips and tricks how to develop this? I'm not a developer and totally new to open x. I would just love to be able to forward useful information to our developers. Whatever it might be.

Thanks!

Openx Hosting Options

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:37:38 +0000

I am currently using OpenX.org free hosting. I love the program, but it really slows down the loading of my pages. I understand that if I install OpenX on my own hosting account, it will run faster. But even though I have 3 different hosting accounts, I'm having trouble installing the downloadable version for various reasons (mostly upgrading PHP on my hosts).

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has used hostcolor.com? They have an OpenX account for around $100 a year.

On this note, I wish OpenX had an option between their free and enterprise accounts. I have a very small project that will require only a tiny amount of traffic. The free is too slow and the enterprise is too expensive.

Billing Off Of Openx And Running A Business?

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:26:29 +0000

Hi.

I'm currently having a website developed and will take my long time hobby to the next level and make it a business.

Advertising in central to this business and everything will be running through OpenX. I'll be focusing on selling local ads directly and filling remaining inventory with network ads.

How do you structure your advertising rates and packages? What is your billing workflow and how do you use OpenX in your billing and Accounts Receivable workflow?

Being new to the publishing world, I'd prefer to use industry standars and practices instead of reinventing the wheel.

Thanks.

Randomization With Older Banner

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:50:41 +0000

Hi guys, I have a problem with my openx 2.4.

I have a zone that have a lot of banners with time delivery limitations. Some times, older banners are delivered ( but the time constraint is no more valid), randomizing with the new banner.

Each crtl+f5, some times e see the new banner and others the old one.

I'm tried to run maintance but no success. To me is not clear if it is a cache problem because after the cache timeout, the problem persists.

Can anyone give me some ideas to solve this problems. What kind of information you think you need to help-me

Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Experience With Other Ad Networks

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 20:38:19 +0000

C'mon people, sound off and let's help each other make some money... Which Ad Networks have you used to generate revenue with, and which did you make the most money with?

I previously only knew about AdSense, AdBrite, Kontera, YPN, and Chitika... That was my whole universe until I made my first AdSense banner here and saw the drop down menu for the "Enable Click Tracking for" box on the "Add a Banner" screen.

In that box it mentions: AdTech, Atlas, Bluestreak, CPX, Doubleclick, Eyeblaster, Falk, AdSense, Kontera, OpenX, MediaPlex, Tango Zebra, Trade Doubler, and YPN.

-I'm guessing since it doesn't mention Chitika nor AdBrite, that it only includes the other Ad Networks that need special banner tracking codes... So there could be dozens or hundreds of others!

So which have You Used, and What's your Experience with them?

I'll start us off... And I should mention that I've got many dozens of niche sites all on different topics that I'm serving ads across. Some get 10 Impressions a day, others, 100,000.

I've personally had lots of experience with AdSense, AdBrite, and Kontera.

AdSense has always been my benchmark, for 5 years now, and it's tough to beat without working at it. Their ads are just the most relevant, period. At one point I was making $1,200 daily on one site from AdSense alone... Ahh, the glory days.

Kontera does a great job making easy cash if you use their in-context links, but their banners stunk up my sites.

AdBrite is awesome IF you put in the time to weed out the low-quality ads. I try to serve more of these filtered ads than I do adsense, but it's tricky, even with OpenX, because their advertisers come and go so often and you'll be approving and rejecting ads on each site daily.

Chitika has a big minimum # of daily visitors required, and since I have tons of smaller sites, I couldn't get in.

YPN, which may or may not be deceased now that MSN bought them out, was exactly like AdSense in every way except for Horribly irrelevant ads... I made $0 with them in the same time I made $400 with AdSense because of their irrelevance!

So who's next? Together we can improve everyone's bottom line just by sharing here.

Uniqlicks Defector Has Many Suggestions!

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 03:05:13 +0000

Dear OpenX,

I paid $90 for a subscription to Uniqlicks a few months back, but I'm here with you today.

Why did I choose you? A little thing called reliability. I can put OpenX on my own server and sleep MUCH better at night, knowing that someone else's mistakes won't take away my ability to generate income.

This is very important to me, especially since only 1 month after joining Uniqlicks, they went down for 10 hours with no ads being shown. Yeah, 10 hours. Apparently I was the first one to bring it to their attention, too, after 9 1/2 hours. Hmm...

They also have an ethics problem over there at Uniqlicks that is guaranteed to be their downfall. Apparently they have no problem breaking the CAN SPAM laws and impersonating google to to scare up new customers!

Despite their evil acts, I willingly chose to pay $90 for their service instead of trying OpenX because of their absolutely gorgeous, drop-dead simple interface. It was so very, very simple to get ads going... In fact there were NO docs because it was 100% completely intuitive!

In a matter of minutes I had about 50 different zones across 10 websites all earning $ and tracking very well with both adsense and adbrite. It was all point & click, then copy & paste. They even used tags on all the zones and ads so you could easily run a customized report on the ads using a desired tag!

Another great thing they did was automagically monitor my clickthru rate and display more ads of the ad that is getting more clicks! -So if AdSense was doing better on a site, that site will automatically show 75% adsense ads, and only 25% adbrite ads... Without me even thinking about it.

Yet another drop-dead simple thing to do there is something they call "Sure Sheild," which monitors for click fraud and automatically stops the same IP from getting the same Ad more than a couple of times... All without ever so much as me clicking a checkbox.

Best of all, there simply wasn't anything to be confused about. No campaigns, no floors, no multi-tabbed menus, heck, there was only one small menu on the whole site, in fact. You could memorize every setting on the site in a minute, easily.

Yes, I know very well that OpenX offers many functions and more flexibility than UniQlicks ever could dream about, but I see no reasons why the OpenX platform can't evolve to include intuitive controls. As it is, I spent many hours learning how to create a simple ad or two here, and I still have what seems like eternity to spend learning how to optimized everything.

Even a "beginners mode" where common tasks are simplified to be more like theirs would be a huge improvement, allowing hordes of new users to jump into OpenX when they were stopped by, or were afraid of the learning curve before.

(And keep in mind, there are two learning curves here; the actual tech curve, and the Ads biz too, that are both your job to teach. -If you like having lots of users, that is.)

Anyway, I just wanted to pass a few ideas along from a defector. I love open source communities (I've contributed to Wordpress, Joomla, OSCommerce, Firefox, and others over the years) and I can see OpenX becoming their equal easily with a little more attention to the User Interface.

Cheers,
James

Best Pricing & Model For Initial Direct Sales

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:51:06 +0000

Hi All

I'm just getting started with OpenX and am set up on hosted, currently just serving adsense on my site everyrecruiter.co.uk

I'm now ready to approach my first direct advertisers and would like to know how other small sites went about securing their first direct sales

My inventory is modest but growing so I don't want to underprice a tenancy but equally don't want to saddle myself with a huge CPM deal that will take many months to deliver

Any thoughts appreciated

Openx As A Platform For Advertiser

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:51:06 +0000

Our company is an on-line trading company. We advertise 50 millions banners with many financial publishers and are not interested in advertising in our own website.
Is OpenX a viable solution as an Ad Server for us?
Can we get reports about impressions (normal, unique, default) clicks and leads from each publisher we currently work with through OpenX?
Do we keep sending banners to the publishers or do we upload them to OpenX?
If banners are with OpenX, can we execute optimization and priority of different banners through OpenX?

Problem: Ie + Openx + Youtube

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 13:40:22 +0000

Hi i have a problem with the combination of IE7, OpenX and Youtube.

My Standard column contains an openX banner, followed by a youtube video, followed by a 2nd openX banner.
No probs in FF and Opera.

No probs on the homepage.
But on subpages: The second openX Banner doesn't appear. Some following block are lost (not displayed) too. I can't find the problem. If I deactivate the Youtube Video everything works fine.

Has anyone a solution/same problem?

regards phil

Google Search Results Gone Away?

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:57:58 +0000

Hey!

I have a forum posting on how to serve ads on my site using iFrames, how they work with the Drupal Theme, and comparing performance with adsense banners.

When I needed to find the posting I did an advanced search on Google "open4energy site:forum.openx.org" and presto - there they were ...

This morning, I search Google and one of my two postings are gone ...

This afternoon, I search Google and all my openX postings are gone ....

Is Google's index broken, the postings are still on the forum, or are we seeing some "funny stuff" with indexing here!

I Have Some Question

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:47:03 +0000

I am from Kurdistan of Iraq and now there are many websites in Kurdistan by Kurdish language that they are out of reklaming service because our country is not independent also the language is not independent , such as (Google Ad sense), when I fill the form it illustrates that Kurdish language is not supported. So as a Kurd I want to struggle from your OpenX script so that I can solve some of the problems and advertise some of the international reklams . Because of that purpose I want to be expert about your script so I have some question which they can help me.

1)Can I advertise for a specific company after advertise it to a lot of Kurdish websites?

2)Can I advertise reklams for the international websites from your script like (Google Ad sense)?

3)If I can use Kurdish language for the script and changing the script language to Kurdish language so can you support Kurdish language or have you ever thought of supporting it?
Because of the state of Iraq and Kurdistan the Kurdish websites are out of a lot of services so we need your help.

4)From now can we keep in touch to introduce your script in Kurdistan more and more?

5)If I use the script can I earn any money from it? Or as money does it have any benefits?

6)I need more sources and information to know a lot of script developer and how to use the script? Source such as (Book or website or … etc )

Thank you

Updating Contact Email

I'm trying to update my contact email address on the forums and no matter how many time I try to update it I always get "security code incorrect". I have tried doing it in Ff3 and IE8. Every time it is the same result.

New Interaction And Time Spent Metrics

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:18:37 +0000

I think it is about time OpenX consider improving and adding to their current line-up of Statistics.

Specifically, I'd like to see:

Interactions - number of user positive events within an ad unit
Interaction Impression - number of impressions with at least 1 user positive interaction event
Interaction Rate - number of user positive interactions divided by impressions (not including back-up image impressions)
Interaction Time Spent - the amount of time (in seconds) spent from the first to last interaction.

If OpenX wants to see more publishers promote the use of rich media ads, we will need these types of metrics.

Improved Filter For Ad Selection

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 09:34:04 +0000

Hi,

I've added an aditional filter 'zoneid' to the list supported by the what parameter.
With this you can put a splitted hockeystick into a single zone and select the top
or the right part according to their width/height:

ex. hockeystick top: zoneid:123,_height:90
hockeystick right: zoneid:123,_width:120

Currently the implementation recognizes the 'zone' specification and ignores the rest of the filter.

Automizing Sales?

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 20:02:35 +0000

Is there some sort of OS programme which enables me to fully automize the sales of views for existing clients? Basically, what I am looking for is some sort of programme which allows me to set the rates (preferably per client), and when they are running out of views, they get a mail, leading them to some page, where they can "order" more views (or clicks, or...), immediately followed by an online payment system (paypal)?

I've seen a few which are for sale, but which are WAY out of my budget (yes, the cheapest was $80, but I am just doing this as a hobby, hoping the sales will pay my cost...).

Do You Twitter?

Fri, 29 May 2009 17:49:57 +0000

Twitter is a very useful source in exchanging experience, ideas, links, contacts and more.
I started a group at a place called Twibe for Twitter users posting OpenX related tweets. It´s a good way of getting new contacts, help and sharing ideas and suggestions. If you do Twitter and use OpenX - do join http://www.twibes.com/group/openx.

Cheers!

Thank you for your responses.

Copy All Linked Banners When Duplicating A Zone

Wed, 13 May 2009 23:59:44 +0000

It is a pain in the butt to add dozens of banners to a new zone -- it would be nice if the "duplicate zone" feature also duplicated the linked banners. Or is there another way to do this?
