I am creating some directories on my site of various services offered by other companies. I hope to contact the companies and offer them the advertising on my site via PPC. Does anyone have any suggestions of programs or software to help me sell and track the ppc of these links on my site maybe something that will allow me to assign each of the companies a login, add funds, monitor their traffic and set up a budget?
Thanks for your help!
PS I am also looking for a good site search as well - if you have any suggestions.
I use Swish-E (Perl and free) on my sites. It is extremely fast and does not require a database. A few drawbacks:
1 - It takes some configuring, changing the HTML mixed among the Perl code.
2 - The version I'm using only shows page titles, no text description.
A lot of hosting companies already have Swish-E installed, and if yours does, all you need is the .sh, .cnf, query.pl and query_util.pl files. It updates with a CRON job.
I had my VPS host install mine .. cost me $10.
Swish++ (C++ and also free) is supposed to be much faster and better, but I've not had the courage to tackle it.
I ran across a PHP/mySQL a while back .. free also and easy installation claimed. (Hah!) If you want that one, PM me and I'll try to locate it.
