I need a better way to sell text links... HELP!

Right now I have this: www.davidpakman.com/advertising.html

Absolutely excruciating to update and change prices, as i need to go through the paypal merchant option to create a button...

What can anyone suggest as a better way to set up an automated text link "shopping cart" so to speak that i can update easily?

 

Why don't you pass on the headache to a 3rd party?
I know of a few DP members that uses www.linkhaul.com though I personnally have not used them.

 

Interesting, I did look at that, but I'd prefer, if it's feasible, to have some kind of better system that I am still taking care of myself. If i can't find one though, i'll have to consider something like linkhaul

 

Hum I'll develop a nice php/mysql interface and sell you a copy, if you wanna pay for it.

 

Humm...how much and how fast?

 

text-link-ads.com

I love them.

 

My goodness, all those pay now buttons would be a nightmare. Just change the file extension to PHP. Create a seperate file call prices.php with content like this:

<?
$hearth1="12.00";
$hearth3 ="25.00";

etc.

?>

at the top of your new advertsing.php put this code:

<? require('prices.php'); ?>

Then have the html like this:

1 month for $<?php echo $hearth1 ?>

3 months for $<?php echo $hearth3 ?>

Then find the values being passed in the paypal button script and replace those as well with the php echo.

Now all you have to do to change prices is edit prices.php values

I think this would work for you. Hope it helps.

 

i can work on this weekend if you give me a decent offer, keep in mind ill be keeping rights to the software.
