Script for Optimizing Zango Gateway Written on January 5, 2009, by admin.
I noticed that there is trend right now in proxy webmasters to use CPA based advertising company for their proxies. One of the advertising company being used is Zango. However, what I don’t like is when I go to a site, a Zango gateway is being showed each and every page load I made. I went to search about Zango and what I learned is that by default the gateway is displayed to every visitor, on every page they view.
Of course this may earned you an extra revenue but why not think in user viewpoint. Seeing the gateway being shown frequently just annoy me personally, left alone other people who visits the site.
So, to my conscience, I would like to show you how to make the popups only showed once or at your desired time using a few lines of code. This code was taken from monetizationhub.
<?php
session_start();
//Increment the ‘views’ session variable.
if (isset($_SESSION[‘views’])){
$_SESSION[‘views’] = $_SESSION[‘views’]+ 1;
} else {
$_SESSION[‘views’] = 1;
}
//Display Zango on only the first page view.
if ($_SESSION[‘views’] == 1){
echo ‘ZANGO CODE HERE’;
}?>
Code Explained:
- In case you didn’t know, a session is an encrypted cookie. What the first half of the code does is increment a session variable to count each visitor’s page views. The second half of the code starting with if ($_SESSION[‘views’] == 1){ checks if the visitor has viewed 1 page and if so, outputs the Zango gateway code.
- If you want to modify the above code you would simply change the == 1 to == 3 for the third page view or > 3 for the 4th, 5th, 6th etc page views.
While showing frequent might increase the chance of user completing the surveys, it also put a risk to lose your visitors. So, I would recommend only showing 1-2 times per session. This will help you reduce the bounce rate (when visitors left your page early or immaturely) and supposedly increase the amount of return visitors. According to this script author, having the gateway to display after certain amount of pageviews can increase the conversion rate on some sites.
Avoid Ads From Showing Public Service Ads (PSA) Written on November 19, 2008, by admin.
For those who had problem in ads showing public service ads or PSA, I would recommend you to target your content. This can be done by wrapping your content with the code below
<!- google_ad_section_start ->
YOUR CONTENT HERE
<!- google_ad_section_end ->
What it will do is making that content known to the Adsense’s robots and all the ads shown on your page will use certain keyword from the wrapped content.
Other way to avoid showing PSA on your Adsense is to use the alternate ad url that can be found when you are setting up a new ad unit. use other ad company such as Adbrite, Mediashakers, Canep Media etc as your alternate ads. So, whenever Adsense don’t have an ad to fill your inventory, it will show the alternate ads instead.
Ads on proxified pages Written on November 15, 2008, by admin.
Too many people has asked me on several forums about this. Actually, setting up an ads in your proxified pages is very easy. All you need is to search for a few keywords/codes and put your ads in between them.
So, here we goes. I will write the method of how you can place your own ads in your proxy proxified page.
#PHProxy
Open up “index.php” and do a search for “url_form”. Then, you will find something like this,
$_url_form = ‘<div style=”width:100%;margin:0;text-align:center;border-bottom:1px solid #000;color:#fff;background:#654d8d;font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,arial,sans-serif;padding:4px;”>’
. ‘<form method=”post” action=”‘ . $_script_url . ‘”>’
. ‘ <label for=”____’ . $_config[‘url_var_name’] . ‘”><a href=”‘ . $_url . ‘”>Address</a>:</label> <input id=”____’ . $_config[‘url_var_name’] . ‘” type=”text” size=”80″ name=”‘ . $_config[‘url_var_name’] . ‘” value=”‘ . $_url . ‘” />’
. ‘ <input type=”submit” name=”go” value=”Go” />’
. ‘ [go: <a href=”‘ . $_script_url . ‘?’ . $_config[‘url_var_name’] . ‘=’ . encode_url($_url_parts[‘prev_dir’]) .’ “>up one dir</a>, <a href=”‘ . $_script_base . ‘”>main page</a>]’
. ‘<br /><hr />’;
Put your ads in between <hr /> and ‘. So, your ads should be like this.
$_url_form = ‘<div style=”width:100%;margin:0;text-align:center;border-bottom:1px solid #000;color:#fff;background:#654d8d;font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans,arial,sans-serif;padding:4px;”>’
. ‘<form method=”post” action=”‘ . $_script_url . ‘”>’
. ‘ <label for=”____’ . $_config[‘url_var_name’] . ‘”><a href=”‘ . $_url . ‘”>Address</a>:</label> <input id=”____’ . $_config[‘url_var_name’] . ‘” type=”text” size=”80″ name=”‘ . $_config[‘url_var_name’] . ‘” value=”‘ . $_url . ‘” />’
. ‘ <input type=”submit” name=”go” value=”Go” />’
. ‘ [go: <a href=”‘ . $_script_url . ‘?’ . $_config[‘url_var_name’] . ‘=’ . encode_url($_url_parts[‘prev_dir’]) .’ “>up one dir</a>, <a href=”‘ . $_script_base . ‘”>main page</a>]’
. ‘<br /><hr />YOUR AD HERE‘;
To add your ad code in the footer, find this line of codes;
$pattern = “#</body>#i”;
preg_match($pattern,$_response_body, $matches);
$_response_body = preg_replace($pattern, ‘
</body>’, $_response_body); //the replace function
Then replace it with these;
$pattern = “#</body>#i”;
preg_match($pattern,$_response_body, $matches);
$_response_body = preg_replace($pattern, ‘
<!– START AD CODE –>
YOU AD CODE HERE
<!– END AD CODE –>
</body>’, $_response_body); //the replace function
#Glype
When you download the installation files, you will find “setup.php” in one of its folder. Upload that file and secure it with a password. In that file, you will see several options that you can set. Click on “Installation Options” scroll a bit until you see “Footer Include” section. Paste your ad code there. Don’t forget to wrap the code in center tag (<center></center>).
#CGI Proxy
This is the easiest thing to do. Open up your “nph-proxy.cgi” file with notepad, I use NotePad++ btw. Look for
$table_close
</center>
</form>
EOF
Your ad code should be placed in between </form> and EOF. There is 2 instances of this codes, so you need to insert your ad code in both instances.
#Zelune
I have not once tried Zelune script just yet. But according to my friends who used this script, to place ads in proxified page, you need to look for checkbox options. Scroll a bit down past checkbox options until you see form ends tag (</form>). Place your ad code there. Make sure to put backslash () before any quotation marks (“). For an example:
<a href=”http://www.example.com” />YOUR ADS HERE</a>
should be
<a href=”http://www.example.com” />YOUR ADS HERE</a>
So, here you goes. Let’s make monies out of proxies! For the webmaster who are looking a place to promote proxies, I invite you to submit your to our proxy listing directory that can be found <a href=”http://www.xytheme.com/proxy-sites/” />HERE</a>.
Good luck!
