Creating visual styles for OpenAds text advertisements
Recently I had a project where I was aked to add visual styls to Openads in an effort to create text that were similar in style to Google’s Adsense ads. Openads is an ads server or an extended banner rotator which allows for stats and all kinds of other features. I won’t get into it, if you need an adserver or want to know more, visit the Openads site directly.
Setting up the text ad is fairly simple. Click on Inventory, Advertisers, Choose the advertiser, Choose or Create a new campaign and then click on add a new banner. I’m hoping you know how to get to that point, otherwise give me a shout and I’ll be happy walk you through it.
Choose “Text Ad” from the dropdown box and you the page will look something like this:
Ok, so now in the big trextarea, lets insert the following:
<font color="blue"><strong>How To Kill Bed Bugs</strong></font>
Kill Bed Bugs with Strei-Fab Spray Buy Now from Nixalite.com
<font color="green">www.nixalite.com/bedbugs.asp</font>
This should end up looking like this when all is said and done:
How To Kill Bed Bugs
Kill Bed Bugs with Strei-Fab Spray Buy Now from Nixalite.com
www.nixalite.com/bedbugs.asp
Now when we publish the text link, just place it in 200px div and voila, you have a sudo adsense text advertisement.
