Paypal Plug-in for openads 2.0
OpenAds paypal IPN signup and payment script
After using OpenAds/ phpadsnew to show our ads across our network for three years we decided we needed a simpler way to allow for revenue generation from this great open source script.
After several some what successful scripts we have come to understand the needs of a advertiser network and built in all the necessary functions to run a hands free network with little need for time consuming task.
With three years of trials we came to agree on exactly what was needed for payment scripts to relieve the everyday work and take the hassle out of running an advertisers network. Although it’s still a (stable) work in progress, we made a list of the most time consuming task of using OpenAds and worked to eliminate them.
- Enrolling publishers and
advertisers without admin interaction -
Allowing for immediate
payment for ad clicks -
Allowing advertisers to
upload and activate their own ads, campaigns -
Allowing advertisers to
disable banners / ads -
Banners disabled when ad
clicks are out -
Advertiser support without
admin interaction.
With the ability to sign up independent publishers who agree to show ads on their web sites. You have more opportunity to increase ad view revenue. Not only will you be showing more ads, you have the ability to capitalize even more from their traffic. Lets say you charge .05 cents a click for advertisers, and you pay .025 cents or 2.5 cents a click. You will be making 2.5 cents for every click the publisher generates. That’s $25.00 you make off of every 1000 clicks a publisher generates. These are very conservative quotes compared to today’s online ad cost. Its not uncommon for an advertiser to pay .25 cents and more per click for qualified traffic. If you split
that with a publisher you will be making .12 cents a click or $120. per 1000 clicks a publisher generates.
After several versions of our payment script and countless hours of hacking away at OpenAds scripts the same thing would eventually happen, it would fail every time we decided to upgrade the OpenAds scripts as our code was interlaced through out the OpenAds scripts. This soon became more hassle than it was worth. It was soon decided that in order for the scripts to survive all of our code needed to outside of and independent of OpenAds. With this release of our signup / payment scripts, all files except one are outside of the OpenAds scripting. The one that does survive can be uploaded again at any time after upgrading OpenAds and all functions continue as usual. (only suports openads 2)More information can be found in the help file (’s).

Once you have Openads 2.0. Installed its a simple process of uploading our files into the correct directories and setting your paypal IPN settings in the admin section of OpenAds. More information is available in the help file (’s).
