Hi,
the home page where all the ads are, is kind of easy to create. You will need to create a picture with all the logos in it and then with HTML you can create maps where you define every logo area to be clicked, he is using java to show the description of the text. What I really donīt like is that the java is mixed with ALT definition, I donīt like that.

The picture with all the logos can be created with PhotoShop and cut it pieces so it will faster to load.

If you look at page source code you will see that picture is located at:
http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/img-pix/image-map.png

and some of the map areas I was talking about are:
<area onmouseover="d(this)" onmouseout="e(this)" shape="rect" coords="630,310,640,320" href="http://www.getpixel.net" title="getpixel.net, stock photography"/>
<area onmouseover="d(this)" onmouseout="e(this)" shape="rect" coords="850,50,860,60" href="http://www.mynewbritain.com" title="MyNewBritain.com"/>
<area onmouseover="d(this)" onmouseout="e(this)" shape="rect" coords="390,280,420,310" href="http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/click/click.php?id=44" title="PC infected? Free Spyware Scan - PandaSoftware.com"/>

The concept on the page is really nice, sell to a lot of people an space for us$100 on a 5 years term.

Regards,

Umm, You will need a good domain name, and you will need a traffic exchange script.

So I will need a photoshop, hosting package (can you tell me a good one) , money of course, domain, about how much disk space, bandwith,data transfer, mysql ect....... will I need. Will I need anything else?



I will also like to know the visitors ip address when they visit to bann them if necessery. Also a place where they can register and be an affiliate and have their own refer link to the site.

Any help out there ................
Thanks again,

[Ambienthost]

to get their ip address you will need to use some php

something to the effect of

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo $ip;

If you want to set up a whole user managment system you should take a look at http://www.php.net if you have never worked with web automation before.

For the script, you might try searching for pixel scripts. With the sucess of that site, there are quite a few.

Thanks a lot,

I have a question

The "public_html" folder is the menu pages of my site right?

[Chicken]

Errrr... it's what people see. Anything there can be accessed. I'm sure there's a better, more accurate way of saying it, but that's the best I can do after mowing the yard, reaching into the fridge for a brewski, and finding out... we're out of brewskis.

:cry:

[sageman]

I know, but each folder in that folder is the category pages of the site. Like the menu.

[Chicken]

Well, if you don't have an index.html (.htm, .php etc), then they see an index of files and folders, but normally you would have an index.html page so no one would really know how you have the site set up. You could have folders there or not, that's up to you. You could have a 5,000 page site, all in that main public_html directory, no folders.

I have a feeling you're asking something or trying to explain something and I'm just not getting it. Or vice versa, not sure.

Here you go, I think before you take on a project like this you may actually want to know how this stuff works. :)

http://www.make-a-web-site.com

Read that, then start on your project.

Check it out, www.clickthepix.com. I just had one problem, if you click on the test ad an error message appears which is::

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/david/public_html/index.php:1) in /home/david/public_html/index.php on line 27

line 27 says

return header ("Location:".$lnk['url']."");

any help or advice.


Edit: I just noticed that the "tell a friend" or "get updates" feature is not working:(

[sageman]

I finally fixed the problem. Now I need to fix the tell a friend and get updates
feature.
