Rifts Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hey guys! I had a quick question that is more about php coding theory than actual code. Anyway, I was curious as to how one would track ad clicks and impressions (especially the impressions). There are tons of sites that do this but I don't really understand how. Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/256701-tracking-ads-with-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacDan Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Most of them just use google ads, which do that for you. An "impression" is just whether or not you showed the ad. If you show it, count it in the database or whatever. Outbound clicks are harder, you need an intermediary page that accepts their click, records it, and then forwards them to where they're going.

digibucc Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 If you want to implement it , I would recommend taking a look at a great open source program called OpenX http://www.openx.com/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/256701-tracking-ads-with-php/#findComment-1315986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
