After finding a bunch of exchanges that give you only 5 impressions for every 10 you display, I found one that gives me 8. They even set up a sports category for me for my cavsworld site. I'm showing a better click through rate for that than I was for my ad words campaign and it's free. Check it out

I put it at the top of my cavsworld site

http://www.cavsworld.com

and the bottom of my cafeshopper site

http://www.cafeshopper.com

They let you decide if you want to show all banners or only ones in your category. I went the all banner route.

it worked fine before we changed servers. We just moved the whole directory and database over and it broke.

no ideas about the broken menus? You can see it right away when you go to the page - the site info menu is all jumbled.

I moved 3 XOOPs sites, it only happened to this one.

I moved my sites to a new server, everything went okay except for the menus on one site.

http://www.westiekorner.com

Instead of being one menu item per line, the menus are all jumbled together. This is in the user menu and the site info men.

Anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong to cause this?

btw: anyone signed up for this service yet?

it looks like an interesting way to get more traffic to your web site.

I merged my test page into my real page - the idea is to let shop owners rent a little bit of space for cheap to help them promote their shops and I can use the revenue to help bring more shoppers into the site.

Let me know what you think of the new setup

you think so? I thought it make the site look cleaner when I added the white yellow background. I do need to make it white inside the frames when the images don't fill the frame, though.

Did you notice that the frames can change - the birthday pages use a different frame.

it still needs work and needs to load a lot faster, but I'm setting up an experimental alternate view here

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/million.php

compare that to our standard view

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/index.php

what do you think about the difference? Assuming I speed it up, which is better?

The idea comes from this

we've added more enhancements - primarily, support for other affiliates. Instead of mixing them in with the main content, we've separated them, and set it up so the affiliate links that display are fairly context sensitive. Thus if you are on the video game page

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/index.php?id=294&sort=0&max=50

you get a mostly different set of ads than you would see in the father's day section

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/index.php?id=21&sort=0&max=50

or the wedding seciton

http://www.cafeshopper.com/modules/cafeshopper/index.php?id=52&sort=0&max=50

My goal is to make the ads complementary to the area the user browses to. If someone is looking for a father's day shirt, they might also want to buy a father's day present. Does my implementation look complementary to the primary content without detracting?

I also set up a page that shows all of the affiliate ads. I set it up for myself, but am debating if I should put up a link to it or not.

we've updated our site to make the integration with cafepress more seamless. The goal was to make it so you never leave our site.

I hard coded a solution. I put this in the header file for my module (not the main XOOPS header)

$onlinehandler =& xoops_gethandler('online');
if ($onlinehandler)
{
if (is_object($xoopsUser)) {
$uid = $xoopsUser->getVar('uid');
$uname = $xoopsUser->getVar('uname');
$name = $xoopsUser->getVar('name');
} else {
$uid = 0;
$uname = '';
$name = '';
}
$onlinehandler->write($uid, $uname, time(), 12, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
}
