Just one thing I noticed with this script is that it needs to be tweaked a little bit to display the links in a satisfactory way, becasue by default its by iframe. Well if you care about it being in an iframe or not.

Cheers

That would be way over my head. I don't have a clue how I'd do that. What would the benefit to that be? And how would it pull in the pixel ads without the iframe? |waves|

Well Im a bit nervous to get into the reasoning as Im sure it would open up a whole slew of replies about it, but as I understand it if you want to give the links any sort of SE benefit the iframe isnt helping that.

I got a little help with setting it up via php to get it to display out of the iframe and I dont really understand how it works as im not that great with php.

If you email the script creator he can help ya out too, but I did still have to get outside help to set it up without the iframe.

Ahhh. I thought it might be something along those lines. I will look into it. Thanks for the idea.

when you find the fix - save the "how to's" for me...
I'll need those as well...

where / how do you make the little picture iconieee things
that customers use for display if they don't already have
a graphic to use and they don't know how to make one...
is there somewhere like a smiie-farm of pics to use ??

I have a question...

for example on yours, the pixel ad that is a black squre with a red star
(9 squares ??) - what size in your psp would that equate to ??
are they saved as a .gif or .jpg etc. ??
is it possible to create (and use with that script) animated ads
in various pixel grouping sizes ?? - or would an ad of only
one pixel be too small for an animated ad ??

is there a limit to how many animated individual or page total pixel
ad blocks that the script can accommodate ??

thanks in advance...

~Bell

p.s anyone that knows the answers to any of these - you are more
than welcome to jump in and answer 1 or all of these :)

If his squares are 10x10, that image would be 90x90 pixels, simple multiplication. As far as gif or jpg, I dont think it matters, the entire grid is essentially one big image map ( I believe ) and all the script is doing is copying and pasting the bought ad into the grid (its a little more complicated then that but that's what it's doing).

The images cant be animated because the grid is essentially one big image and you cant animate only part of an image.. not without things getting extremely complicated anyway. And one pixel is way to small for anything, make a 1x1 pixel image in any image editing program and youll see what I mean.. can barely see the little fucker.

See above, unless you do things a different way then the most logical way ( the image map method used currently ) it's really not possible. I suppose you could use absolute positioning on div's or something but that would take a bit of set up and tweaking on an individual basis. As far as total pixel ad blocks, do you mean the script linked to in this thread? I'm not familiar with it but with a few code tweaks I'm sure you could have as many damn blocks as you damn well please. As it is now I'm sure you could run multiple instances of the script with different filenames.

Having said all that - see cd34's posts |badidea| :p

hey... quickdraw...
thanks for the feedback...

I agree that the first one worked, and worked well was because it was original and the first. And as said, a major reason it worked was because it was so unique and got tons of media attention. Any one that does it now, does not have the ingredients that made the original work so well.

When will the media bring attention to a adult site unless it's a pornstar or real contraversial? I dont think some are really understanding exactly how and why the orginal worked.

I personally think there are lots of potential uses for such a script...
not all have to be FOR SALE pixels... it can be for fun... (=traffic)
it can be earning a pixel (in a contest) and whomever completes
their full image first get's a prize (or specialized ad space / traffic)

In addition to - or instead of selling pixels for cash - they can
be barterable... they can generate something more than cash...
it's the creative way to use something - in a DIFFERENT way
that appeals to me...

having said all that - I fully intend to ALSO use it on a site or
two or three as a standard pixel ad space sales project...

but that is not the most fun usage I can think of for it...
the skys the limit on using things in a different way...
for a different purpose... in a different niche/category etc...

I think of it similar to a TGP...
by that I mean everybody and their brother has a TGP
or Link List... yet lots of us still keep cranking those sites out...
just because a gazillion people have sites like that means nothing
as far as someone else having one as well...

some will be successful... some won't...
no one can predict...

but anytime that something comes along or an idea comes along
that sparks some sort of excitement or element of fun to my
work day - then I am all for that...

all up over it like hersey syrup on vanilla ice cream...

it's a waste of anyone's time to try to talk a chocoholic out
of her herseys chocolate syrup...

~Bell

p.s. if anyone sees any of those sites out there - let me know
I enjoy looking at them... same as I like looking at real
magazines out on my new patio on a sunny afternoon with
fresh ice tea and the radio... not outside type weather here (ohio-usa)
so in the meantime I'll look at pixel sites.... LOL...
