As I promised in my previous article “Pixel Advertising – A new trend in Online
Advertising”, this is a guide
on how to build your pixel ad
site. The best part of making
this site is you don’t need
to buy an expensive script;
all you need is the cost of
registering a domain and web
hosting. To make it easy for
you to follow, I organized it
step by step.
Step 1 Register the domain
name you will use for the site.
Step 2 Prepare the web hosting
account for the site.
Step 3 Create a mysql database
and user in your hosting account.
Make sure the database account
has full access to the database.
If you are using cPanel, just
click on the mysql icon.
Step 4 Download the FREE pixel
ad script at www.pixeladraptor.com
and uncompress it to your PC.
Step 5 Locate and edit the
file config.php and enter the
details of the mysql database
you created in step 3. You will
also have to enter an admin
user account and password.
Step 6 Using an FTP program
(I use smartftp, its FREE),
upload all the files to your
site. Iif you want the pixel
site to run in the root domain
(www.xxx.com), you have to upload
the files in the root folder
(usually in public_html). If
you want the pixel site to run
on a subdomain or specific folder,
you have to make sure you upload
it to the right folder.
Step 7 After uploading the
files, access the admin site
which is under www.yourdomain.com/admin/
using the admin account you
entered in Step 5.
Step 8 Click on the “Settings”
tab and enter all the details
asked on that page. That’s it.
If you installed the scripts
in the root domain, you will
be able to access the pixel
ad site by typing www.yourdomain.com.
If you installed it in a subdomain,
enter www.yoursubdomain.yourdomain.com.
If you installed it in a specific
folder, enter www.yourdomain.com/yourfolder/
