Errata: I have made a small error in the video tutorial. The CRON command to schedule the OpenX maintenance should’ve been:
/web/cgi-bin/php5
/home/content/c/o/u/couponsvault/html/ox/maintenance/maintenance.php

The second week is almost over, I wish I had more time to work on this case study lately! I have now installed OpenX on my GoDaddy shared hosting account. OpenX (aka OpenAds) is a free ad server developed in PHP. It’s very useful to track clicks, geotargeting and lots more.
I’ve made a video tutorial to show you how to install OpenX on your GoDaddy account:
Can’t see this video? Watch it on YouTube.com!
Unfortunately the original video lasted longer than allowed by YouTube so I’m gonna have to make another one to show you how to display ads using OpenX.
Stay tuned, I’ll be posting this by tomorrow!

Thank you for your tips Oikos. Although I disagree with the third point you make.For instance, using the local invocation code on a WordPress blog will break your website if WordPress and OpenX do not share the same database.

I hate morons who are too cheap to buy a microphone. Save us the effort of clicking by it until you do.
