Building a network of sites? make easy use of sponsors with bonus days.

[RobertFrans]

Ya all know (or should know) that alot of sponsors have bonus days were they pay you $50 $75 or what ever per signup. (just signup for enough sponsors and you basically get daily a email about it ;-) )

Wouldn't it be great if you could update one file and update all your sites to show a banner to that sponsor for when they have a bonus day?

Well you could.

make a file one of your domains called mypromo.php (or what ever name).

<?php

echo'<a href="sponsorlink" target="_blank"><img src="mydomain/banner.jpg" border="0" /></a>';

?>

Now on every site where you want it to showup do this:

<?php 
	readfile('http://www.mydomain.com/mypromo.php');
	?>

it will read the promo file and put what ever it outputs in your page (make sure the domain where you host the banner allows your other sites to hotlink it ;-)

Afcourse you can do what ever you want, text links or whatever.
and if there is nothing you wanne show ..
just change it to nothing

<?php

echo "";

?>

And voila next time you get a $100 promo in your email .. you change one file .. and all 768 sites of you running the same promo .. making you mad cash!

Now go think for yourself and realise you can do way more funny things with this ;-)

thanks for the tip Robert.

simple things like that help to remind me how cool PHP is, and how great it is to know how-to use the tools we have.

So If I put this on one of my domains could I make it show up on TB sites?

Simple things are often the best and this is a great way to change sidebar banners.

Of course it does.

But still, if you have lot's for tracking, still a chore to change them just for one day.

I even done it in 2 folders for example /r/whatever.php for revshare and /p/whatever.php for pps so I just rename them. But because of tracking codes, I still have quite a few to change, not to mention I'll have to coordinate the time difference to be in sync with the promo.

I do this for a few sites and on a few host because if I just have one link to send from every other site, if the host were to go down your money's flushed down the drain.

ok, I thought this was something where you just changed one piece of code and then it changed all the sites. TB already has a javascript thing that places the same adds across all your blogs.
