Customizing AuctionAds

July 18, 2007 | Author: Mark | Filed under: Tool News

I have read alot about auction ads from people who want MORE customization! I too, needed a bit of customization for one of the sites I have been working on (not quite ready for launch) which is loaded onto my windows server.

Essentially, I took an old copy of an asp vbscript ecommerce application that I have shaped and molded into a SEO performance machine and modified it yet again to be a simple product review site that shows relevant auctionads on each database driven page.

It works like this:

  • I enter a new product
  • I use unique keywords in a separate text field (for the meta-keywords tag of course)
  • I declare the keywords into a variable (dim keywords :: keywords = rs(keywords))
  • I call the unique keywords at the page level into the auctionads code before it is displayed!

I have this working at the main product category level as well as the individual product level. I also left a “way out” should the system not have a set of keywords to use at all… if then, if then, if then, else!

As long as you mind looking at a work in progress, you can see it on a VERY QUICKLY thrown together site at:

Product reviews and opinions

You will notice that the categories pull in unique relevant content, the products pull in unique relevant content as well!

The best part is that I dont have to create a whole new schema in auctionads every time I add a new product! The keys are already there!

Enjoy - Mark
