AdloggerGoogle Adsense has changed the nature of the web. Even small-time publishers can earn by displaying Google ads on their sites. But the question of sabotage cannot be ruled out. Adsense will ban you in case of fraud clicks. Someone may avenge on you by clicking ads on your site deliberately. Which is where Adlogger comes to help. Adlogger tracks visitor clicks and limits the number of clicks one may make. If a visitor clicks too many ads, Adlogger will automatically disable ads for that visitor.

Download Adlogger

Installation is user-friendly. Adlogger needs PHP and MySQL, make sure your server has these before installation.

  1. Unzip the AdLogger package and upload it to your website. The adlogger folder must be in the root of your server, that is, in the public_html folder.
  2. Now change the permission levels of these 3 files - config_admin.php, config_database.php & config_settings.php - to 666.
  3. Create a database. Name it adlogger or anything you like.
  4. Now point your browser to yousite.com/adlogger and the rest of the installation will be handled by an installation wizard.
  5. After installation delete the install folder and chmod the the 3 files - config_admin.php, config_database.php & config_settings.php - back to 644.

Next comes Code Setup. Login to your adlogger admin and go to Adlogger Setup. Adlogger generates 3 types of codes all of which should be implemented on your site to properly log clicks. the Tracking code logs the ad clicks while the Wrapping code allows you to ban certain IPs or them who are clicking too many ads within a time period. And the Cace-Control code reloads the webpage everytime from the server instead of browser cache.
