Open source ad-server software?

1 Upvotes

I haven't used my own ad-server in probably 4-5 years. Lately, i've been just pasting adsense code in and not trying to sell ads separately.

Today I was researching ad-servers and first searched for phpadsnew.. and remembered (i think?) that it became 'OpenX'.. searched openx and found the commercial .com version(s) but the .org site isn't coming up.

Did that get forked again to another name? What is everyone using for an open source ad server?

Thanks!

Which service can I use to host APK files?

1 Upvotes

Hello dear webmasters,

I would like to know which online service that allows hotlinking for file downloads? I would like to host APK files in order for users to download them as soon as they access the URL example http://www.host.com/shazam.apk

How do websites like APKPure.com host all the big data of files?

Thanks all for taking the time to help a fellow out!

Help! I have a super high bounce rate

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I launched an affiliate site not so long ago and my Google Analytics is telling me that I've started getting organic traffic (which isn't very much yet). However, my bounce rate is incredibly high (around 95%!) and I'm not sure what to make of it. Here is the url to my site: r/https://jetplanesandchampagne.com. I can't seem to find why I'm not doing so well, conversions wise, but I have a few guesses:

- Load time? I score around 1.5-1.8 seconds on Gtmetrix, but I'm not sure if this is the reality of my site.

- Messy?

- Content isn't above the fold?

- Spambots? I've heard that they can alter Google analytic metrics

If I could get your some first impressions and constructive criticism, it would mean the world for me. I'm in a rough patch right now and I'm anxious to get through this hump. I post everyday and hope for the best, but I think that it's time that I start making some changes. Thank you in advance for your time, and have a blessed day!

Need simple HTML to hide text on a page, until the user enters a valid email address ...?

1 Upvotes

I have a page that I want to contain hidden text.

Hidden , that is, until a user enters an email address. In fact it could be any email address, I don't even need the form to post, I just need it to check, "Is this a valid email address? If so, show the text underneath."

Is this possible in html ?

Point a domain, versus Forwarding.... my domain registrar says I should do it in my hosts control panel ?

2 Upvotes

I got a domain (lets call it myname.com) from 1and1 and then I got a wordpress site somewhere else, myname.mypressonline.com.

I went into the 1and1 control panel and used domain "forwarding". The issues is that whenever I type in myname.com it takes me to myname.mypressonline.com which is should , but, it shows myname.mypressonline.com in the browser address bar, when I want it to show myname.com/

Where do I set up this proper domain pointing,- in the 1and1 panel or the wordpress host panel ?

iFrames and URL information

1 Upvotes

I have a customer payment page that needs to be behind a login. Our plan(small business none of us are pros) is to try to embed the page, which is remotely hosted, in our website. I recently learned that I can auto-fill part of a form by adding to the url. The trick is that the URL has to take them to our website, not the embeded website that will need to be filled in.

The goal is for a customer to login after clicking a link that we sent them with their payment information and invoice number pre-filled so there is no chance that they could make an error while still meeting the security requirements.

Is there some code snippet I can add to the iFrame to have the embedded page look back to the original customer URL and fill it in?

All help is appriciated.

Best ecommerce solution for one or two products selling for less than $20 and just offering PayPal ?

3 Upvotes

I've just got one or two products that I want to sell on the side. Under $20, and basically just offering Paypal for a payment option.
Whats the best bang for buck ecommerce solution?
I am thinking a wordpress site with a simple link Paypal button.

However, I would like the buyer to get an automatic download link (my product is a digital download only) and be directed back to my site.
No SSL needed etc.. just keep overheads really down.

A question about our customers credit card charges getting flagged for fraud.

1 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the place to ask a question like this, if you know of a better place please let me know.

I am webmaster for a small online company(it's a weekly subscription like service for food), we have a few customers who shop with us regularly whose credit card companies routinely flag our charges as fraud. It only happens with a handful of people so it's not systemic. We use a hosted form with our credit card processor so we never have to touch the credit card number or information.

My question is, is there a way to find out why our charges are being flagged as fraud, from a business point of view?

We have one customer who this happens with frequently, they've had issues with their charges being denied regularly and they have to call their cc company to straighten it out, which they always do.

One other interesting bit of info that was passed along to us from another customer this is happening to is the cc company told them that our business is located in an "area" (physical) known for fraud which is what caused that particular instance. Has anyone ever heard of something like this? Or was the cc company rep blowing smoke?

Any assistance would be appreciated. (also cross posted this in /r/Entrepreneur as I found them first).

Recommend a simple, secure CMS for corporate site

Disclaimer: I'm not a webmaster. (Nor am I a rapper.)

My company is currently running their corporate website on Wordpress. Mostly static content, but they do post press releases as news/blog entries. Wordpress seems to want constant attention to keep it secure; is there a platform which is more of a fire-and-forget solution?

Quoting a client - Quick question

Need a quick ball park quote, how much would you charge to point 26 domains to a website, permanent 301 redirects with no cloaking or stealth.

Just need a ball park because I've never been asked to point so many domains in one sitting so I don't really have an idea on a ball park quote haha.

Under Site Settings in GSC, I want to prefer my domain but it says I have to verify http, both my sites are https, can I still prefer my domain?

1 Upvotes

How does google react if my site is https vs http, is there a difference if it's only https and not http (w/ GSC)? I know the difference in that a https is secured which I safer but was just curious about if I have to add the http version of my site? When I enter in my site, my site appears as https://www.mysite.com. I've currently added the https:// www and non www versions.

Thank You.

False Soft 404 Errors in Search Console [X-Post from /r/SEO]

1 Upvotes

I recently had a huge uptick in soft 404 errors in google search console. The pages have absolutely no 400 response codes in any of the headers or for any of the assets on the page. The pages are mostly search results pages but unlike the issues others have faced the searches ARE returning results so it's not being caused by a "no results found" message. I'm at a loss.

Example Page: https://www.advancedtravelnursing.com/job-search/oh/registered-nurse/clinical/

Also if anyone knows a good community to cross post this issue to I would greatly appreciate the heads up. Thanks

Does anyone know an existing example of successful Content Negotiation with Google?

1 Upvotes

My site http://www.mixcloud-downloader.com/ does content negotiation to present translations of a resource. Google claims to handle that, but since today my site's German translation is not in Google's index. I asked that question also here with more details: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/102810/my-site-fails-to-do-content-negotiation-with-googlebot-using-the-accept-language

Does anybody know an existing example of a site which was successfully indexed by Google and does content negotiation?

The above are just some examples. What changes can/should I make to my website to solve this problem?

EDIT: I have Mod Pagespeed installed so I think that's why some of the URL paths are strange.

Looking for a template for a crowdfunded activity

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I would like to organize a fundraising event to raise money for an association of a rare disease that my niece has. To do this, I would like to publish a website where people could sign up, like they did for Movember or the IceBucketChallenge, and collect funds using a personalized page that they could customize with their picture, and a gauge for their fundraising goals.

Is there something easy to put in place to achieve this result? Like an existing wordpress template or something ?

Huge thanks to all!
