How to place ads on sites

[eean]

Hi guys,

Im new to the site, and have been reading past posts. But this is the one thing I can seem to find.

How do you place ads on your customers sites?

Ads such as banners, text links, google ads, etc. At the top or bottom, or both.

I will be using a server with either cPanel/WHM or DirectAdmin.

Aha, and there you have a problem. Unless you have a dedicated (or VPS) server, you're screwed (that is if you're gonna give your customers a CP, FTP, or any good feature). I started a thread on this a long time ago.

You need a dedicated server. If you have one, all you need to do is install the Apache mod "mod_layout," and configure it. A dedicated server costs about $100/month BTW. A VPS, which is a little more complicated, but still will work fine, will cost you about $50/month.

Thanks.

I had a search around for this, and it doesn't seem too hard.

But Im starting to think that perhaps it would be a better idea to just ask the site owners to place either an ad (if I do decide to put them on client sites) or just a button or banner back to my site.

There are other ways then modlayout.

I know that you can use one of the control panels to do it, and that in IIS its very easy.

What was your 'other way'?

sorry but giving that away would be giving away a trade secret.
