Another script I’ve needed in the last few days was a popunder for my site, Once again it was difficult to find one that would do exactly what I needed so I made my own. and I’m sharing it with you all here.
Its dead simple and should be easy to install.
VIEW CODE
Thats it, Happy popping!
<script>
//specify page to pop-under
var popunder=”popunder_code.html”
//specify popunder window features
//set 1 to enable a particular feature, 0 to disable
var winfeatures=”width=800,height=300,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,location=0,menubar=0,status=0,directories=0,address=0,”
function loadpopunder(){
win2=window.open(popunder,”",winfeatures)
win2.blur()
window.focus()
}
</script>
A few days ago I started a campaign that had traffic coming from over 50 countries and my network was redirecting traffic to other offers from any country that was not USA, Canada and the UK. so I needed more control and needed to shift all that international traffic to a version of my landing page that was built for international traffic. Now although I did not translate my landing page this would be a good tool to use for multi-launage landing pages as well.
After searching for hours I realized this was not going to be as easy as I expected, Some where really slow to redirect, others did not have enough options for what I needed and most did not work at all.
I have since put together this simple PHP using 3 different code sources + a little code of my own as well as some help from a friend that knows PHP quite well.
Its very fast, Easy to customize, and very powerful.
This .ZIP contains 3 files
1. geoplugin.class.php – This pulls the GeoIP information
2. index.php – This is the basic redirect
3. index_tracking202_support – Basic script with Tracking 202 support

Finally decided to go to Adtech, And I’m sure its going to be a good time and I’m sure I’ll learn a lot. Hope to see a ton of Fellow AM’ers there and get to know the industry a bit more.
BTW Also got a hotel that is right down the street from the Apple Store, I’m sure I’ll spend some time there 
Affiliate marketing is a roller coaster ride that I’m glad I’m on, I believe the trick to being successful is experience.
Now my mother always told me “Experience is expensive” I never really got this concept until it really hit true in this career, Gaining experience in other jobs and skills is normally fairly easy and is a few good tutorials on the internet away, Affiliate marketing on the other hand is different.
You can read for days, Study countless blogs and tutorials, but when it comes down to it you are going to get the most knowledge and understanding from just DOING IT!
Now I do have a few advantages that others may not, I have been in the “Web Development” business for quite a while, so xHTML and normal web techniques really hit home, but when it comes to marketing I’m a bit rusty (Damn you keggers during my 2 years of marketing classes) but Its all starting to get clearer every day.
So as of right now my advice would be, get a OK understanding of how to get campaigns up and running on Yahoo, MSN and Google and get to work, Watch the markets and do your best to find profitable campaigns, even though that might include throwing up campaign after campaign trying to hit something with profit margins (hey it happens).
Happy AM’ing…
