Movable Type Blog Setup

Return To Ad Network Main Page

  1. This system requires the MTIncludePlus plugin, which you can download here. To install the plug-in, unzip the downloaded file, and upload it to your plugins folder in your Moveable Type installation.

  2. Create a file named ad_network_448.php in the main directory of your site (if your registered site URL is a sub-directory of the domain, it should go in that sub-directory):

    ad_network_448.php file:

    Ad Type:   Ads To Display:  
    Display As:   Separate Ads With:
    Color:   Use "nofollow" On Ads:

    Sample (single ad):

    You can receive a weight bonus for running more ads (up to 5).


  3. Create an empty file named ad_network_ads_448.txt in the same directory. The web server user should have write permissions to this file. An easy way to set the permissions would be with the following command:
    chmod 666 ad_network_ads_448.txt

  4. Add the following to your templates (somewhere appropriate):

    Note: Be sure to change the URL to your URL.
    In the default template for Moveable Type 3.0, you would add it to Master Index, Master Archive Index, Category Archive, Date-Based Archive and Individual Entry Archive for example.

  5. In your Moveable Type admin, run the Rebuild Site option.

  6. Once it's setup on your blog, request a validation of your site to get your ads into the rotation. If you need any help setting anything up, please visit the forum.

  7. Feel free to change the name of the PHP and TXT file to anything you wish (you can even move it outside of your public HTML folder if you want... just make sure you reference it with a full file path in that case).

  8. If you are running any similar ad network systems, they must be removed from your site in order to use the ad network (see terms of service).
