How to: Writing ads and making sales.

[iMan]

I've used php redirects for a few years now. I love em but one thing I did notice, when I used them on ppc ads I wasn't getting many sales. I went back to the direct linking and sales picked up instantly. Not sure why other than the php redirect can hang from time to time and take a few seconds longer. I dunno if that was spooking surfers or if it was just a fluke.

If the redirect is slow I can imagine that clicks will be lost... I have very little patience as a surfer myself

I was first thinking that it might look strange to people that the mouse over status doesn't show the advertised site url, but since my sponsor code doesn't show that either, I thought that it must be ok...

I'd like to be able to make the mouseover display the destination site though... but many rules state that javascript isn't allowed, and I assume that includes mouseovers, right?

I will try different things with this though. Thanks for the tip!
