A Widget \/ shortcode plugin to display Google Affiliate Network ads. \nBoth text links and image ads can be displayed. The widgets are\nparameterized. There is backend access to the database table of links. \nLinks can be added and\/or edited by hand or can be added in bulk from a\nTab Separate Value file, as downloaded from Links (Beta) tab from the\nGoogle Affiliate Network page. A Tcl script is included to insert\nE-Mailed links (link subscriptions). The Widgets and shortcodes are\nparameterized for both sidebar display (vertical layout) as well as\nleader\/footer display (horizontal layout).<\/p>\n\n
The ads are rotated, with the least viewed ads from the lest viewed\navertisers being shown in preference to ads that have been viewed more\nfrom avertisers than have been viewed more. As ads are displayed,\ntheir impression counts are incremented, which moves such ads to the\nback of the list. Ads are displayed in iframes, which keeps the ads\ncontained on the page. Either widgets can be used to display ads in\nside bars or shortcodes can be used to display ads in pages or posts\n(both can be used if desired). A given ad unit can only display text or\nimage ads, not both. As a convience, a media insert button is available\non the post and page editor to generate and insert short codes to\ndisplay ad units on posts and pages.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin provides an administration page to view the database of ads,\nwith the ability to add ads one at a time or in bulk (from a TSV file\ndownloaded from your Google Affiliate Network Links tab). There are\nalso administration pages to view ad impression statistics and merchant\n(advertiser) impression statistics. The statistics can be downloaded as\nCSV files. The plugin also includes a help page and a printable PDF\nuser manual.<\/p>\n\n
Notice: Google is planning on retiring the Google Affiliate Network. I am\ngoing to stop working on this code. It is available for whoever wants to look\nat it and maybe use it as example code or the basis of some other affiliate\nadvertising system.<\/p>\n\n\n
Unpack the plugin archive under the wp-content\/plugins directory and\nthen activate the plugin.<\/p>\n\n
You can then add the widgets to your sidebar(s) and start adding in\nlinks with the database manager. You can also use the shortcodes to\ninsert ad frames into posts or pages (you can use the Insert Ad Unit\nmedia button to generate and insert these short codes). There is a help\npage and a printable PDF user manual, that explains how to put ads in\nthe database and how to display ads on your blog pages or posts.<\/p>\n\n
The link subscription handling script should be copied somewhere and\nedited as needed (database access information). You'll need to have Tcl\nand mysqltcl installed. You will also need procmail (almost all Linux\nsystem use procmail for their local mail delivery agent). Read the\nganlinksToDB.tcl file carefully.<\/p>\n\n
A downloadable PDF user manual is available at gan_manual.pdf<\/a>.\nThis manual provides detailed documentation on how to use this plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n Support is handled either with [Deepwoods Software's\nBugzilla][bugreport] (submit any bugs and feature requests to the\nBugzilla) or though the [Deepwoods Software's Support page][support]\n(use this for comments or for general questions).<\/p>\n Submit a bug at [Deepwoods Software's Bugzilla][bugreport].<\/p><\/dd>\n Submit one on Deepwoods Software's Support page<\/a>. You can also submit\na documentation bug at Deepwoods Software's Bugzilla<\/a> as well.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n
