After completing the upgrade of the site last month, Iranian.com upgraded its ad servers to display more relevant ads to its users and to provide advertisers with more cost-effective options to promote their businesses, events, products or services.
"We finally are able to respond to requests we've had from advertisers for over year," said, Wayne Willis, Business Manager for Iranian.com. "Now we can deliver Flash and other rich media ads, and we can deliver geographic targeting of ads. It will make life much better for advertisers and users alike, because relevant ads are information, not an intrusion."
The ad server uses open source software provided by OpenAds.org. Advertisers specify "campaigns" with certain "banners," and the OpenAds server delivers ads and keeps track of how many ads are shown. The software can also show ads only in a specified geographic area (like city, state, metro area, region or country) or show ads only on a specific page of the iranian.com site, like the music page.
The targeting does not rely on cookies or whether or not someone is a registered user, Willis reported. Using a geolocation technology from MaxMind, the ads simply look at the IP address of the Internet Service Provider of the user and determines the city or country from the IP address of the ISP. This is important, notes Willis, to respect the strong privacy policies of the User Agreement and Privacy Policy at Iranian.com
"The trend nowadays is for advertisers to measure the effectiveness of online advertising, and now we can give our advertisers the data that help them see the return on their investment in advertising with us," said Willis.

You have adds on your site?
by NoAds (not verified) on Wed Oct 03, 2007 11:18 AM PDTYou have adds on your site? I did not know that. Thank God for FireFox AdBlock Plus Extension. lol.
Would you please answer my question?
by Samad (not verified) on Wed Oct 03, 2007 07:11 AM PDTWould you please let us know why you have 2 unused blue strips on each side of your webpages? Each blue strip is about 2.5" and when you add the 1.5" white strip to the right of each page, you have about 6.5" of space that is not being used. Are you keeping these for future ads? If not, why not let your webpages use the entire screen and no blue strip on sides?
Editing...
by Foaad Khosmood on Wed Oct 03, 2007 12:04 AM PDTDear A writer,
Editing articles AFTER they have been submitted compromises literary integrity of a magazine. You can't edit articles in any other magazine. You can, however, edit blog entries. So, if you're really worried about this issue, just write a blog instead.
access to editing
by A writer (not verified) on Tue Oct 02, 2007 07:28 PM PDTWould you please give us access to edit our articles or writing once posted? Frequently small errors are found and misspellings and it would be nice that the writer would have the ability to go back and fix those errors?
Is it possible?
Thanks
