PM me your script specs/live demo/infomation. This will be basically a clone of [login to view URL] which is simular to [login to view URL], [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] it is a advertisement network with multiple publishers and advertisement clients. Application Requirements (top priority): - Must be able to handle atleast 1,000,000 (one million) adviews per day. - Security and abuse need to be in focus! (important). - Real Time stats for Admin/Publishers and Advertisers. Security Features: - Prevent abuse is VERY IMPORTANT and something you need to focus on. - No more than one (1) Interstitial Ad per unique visitors in a period of 1 hour (default), users can raise this limit if wanted. - Place a cookie on the users computer to prevent "bot hits or impressions". - Save the visitor IP to prevent "bot hits or impressions" Account Creation: - Upon registration a ticket in a ticket system will be created, so the publisher/advertiser can follow how the process of his application goes. Would prefer if an existing opensource ticket system is integrated into the system, instead of building a new one from ground. Publisher Area: - can edit their profile, account info, address, names, categories of the website etc - A publisher (website owner) register and get instant access to the members area. - Login to the Members Area and click the "Sites" tab in the top menu. - Type the link, title and description of his website along with traffic details (unique and pageviews per day) and select a category for his website (see details about this below). - Website application need to be approved/validated by Stafff - After approval the publisher receive an confirmation email, his website is now listed under the "Websites" tab as "active" (websites waiting validation is marked "Under Validation"). - Publisher can click the "Advertisers" link for each of theire websites and receive a list of advertisers and theire CPM rates for this specific category. - All advertisers in this category is enabled as standard, but the publisher can unmark the advertisers he dont want to promote. - All new advertisers will automatic be enabled aslong the publisher havent unmarked the "Auto-approve new advertisers". - After a website has been approved a "Get Code" link will appear to the approved website. On this page the publisher can deside to raise the "Frequency Cap" from the default 1 hour (1,3,6,12,24 hours - example: 1 interstital per 24 hour unqiue) and grab the code afterwards. - A "Interstitial Code" need to be unique and only possible to use on the approved website - so users cant display the Interstitial code on another website. - The top menu will contain a "Payment" tab/link which will contain statistics of his earnings (sorted by date, month, year etc). - The "Payment" tab/link will also contain a history of previous payments/earnings. - When the Advertiser reach a balance of $100, he can click the "Payment" tab and press the "Send payment" button which will release the earnings and bring his balance down to $0. - Each "payment release" cost a total of $10 (payed by publisher). Advertiser Area: can edit their profile, account info, address, names, categories of the website etc - Add funds into their e-account creditcard, paypal, wire transfer, check,...before their ad campaign starts.
