basically, the setup is pretty straightforward. for google adwords,
you need
to create a simple html file like this.
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://www.postgresql.org/"><img
src="http://www.na-motorsports.com/images/psql/5_120x600.gif"
border='0' /></a>
</body>
</html>
you place it on your web server, and then something like the following
gets added to your adsense code (google will generate this code for you
in your adsense management panel, but it doesn't store it, it just
adds it to the javascript for you to cut-and-paste):
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.na-motorsports.com/google-
pgsql.html";
fastclick is if anything easier, you go to the management panel for
the particular
campaign (based on the size/style of the ad) and a specify the url of
the image
and the url the click should direct to for your base default campaign.
from the viewpoint of stats i'm not sure what either google or
fastclick will
do with these alternate campaigns.
(so will psql advertising on my auto racing web site be of any value?
hell if
i know, but i will observe that in my experience, there is heavy
computer
geek/road racing geek overlap. i'm probably going to be pushing
500,000 page
impressions a month in june and july, might as well kick 1% of it
towards
a noble cause.)
