Hello all, and welcome to the first part of my CREATE A PTC SITE guides. If I receive good feedback on this one, there is a likelihood that I will create a second part.

In this guide I will take you through 2 different scripts and make mention to 2 different advertisers you can use with your PTC site. Now, this won't be completely indepth, as I myself haven't yet attempted to use the advertisers with the scripts, however I'm sure you will be able to figure it out yourself.

YOU WILL NEED
A PTC script. Feel free to use the ones below, or purchase one (search google to purchase one). I suggest downloading PTCscript2.rar and skipping right to the installation of that one.
A host for your files.
You can select from a range of hosts, but at the moment my best suggestion would be DreamHost, who are offering unlimited space and bandwidth.
A collection of promo codes for DreamHost (Enter them at the bottom of the signup page)
  • PTC8866 - $50 off registration
  • PTC142 - 2 Free domains
  • PTC5532 - 1 Free domain + $15 off
An FTP program to access your server.
You can use the freeware program FileZilla effectively for this.

An Advertiser
We will get to this later!

Only install ONE in a certain directory. If you only wish to install one, I suggest skipping right to the 2nd PTC script!

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU FUCK UP!... just thought I should say. Also, if I made a mistake, I'm really sorry if it causes you troubles. I will try my best to help solve any problems and will fix the guide accordingly.


We will start with the installation of PTCscript1! (More difficult and not as good as PTCsite2)

Step 1 - Uploading the Files
Firstly, please note that script 2 is better, more secure and easier to setup. This one is a little bit more in depth and requires more work.
Begin by opening FileZilla and connecting to your server. Upload all the files and folders except for 'installation'. This should be pretty straight forward.


Step 2 - Uploading sqldump.sql

Firstly create a mySql table. This can often be done from the 'mySql' page. It does not matter what name you enter, or are given.
Now, find phpMyAdmin in your hosting control panel. (Have to be vague, as it depends from host to host.)
Once logged in, select the database from the drop-down list from the left section of the page.
Now, click SQL from the top menu of the main section. Use the Location of the textfile select the file to upload (sqldump.sql). If asked to choose compression, choose None! Now, upload the file.
(Comment >> Yes I know this can be done through shell, but it's easier this way)

Step 3 - Editing dbconnect.php
In the folder in which you extracted the files on your local computer, open dbconnect.php in either Notepad or Dreamweaver.
You will be presented with something similar to
Code:
<?php  mysql_connect('localhost','root','asdfgh'); mysql_select_db('ptcinv');  ?>
Update the 'root' to the username that you entered or were given when creating your database. Do the same for 'asdfgh' for the password and 'ptcinv' for the name of the database. eg
Code:
<?php  mysql_connect('localhost','username','password'); mysql_select_db('database');  ?>
Once edited, reupload this file to your server through FileZilla, over righting the old one.

Step 4 - Editing vars.php
Now open vars.php in NotePad or Dreamweaver and edit it. This one is pretty straight forward. Once done editing, save and then reupload, over writing the old file.

Step 5 - Password protect the admin folder.
Yes, I know, this script is a little lame. In your cpanel (or panel offered), go to either a password protect folder page, or to the file browser and password protect your 'admin' folder.

Step 6 - Login to admin and go
Now, navigate to www.yoursite.com/admin and enter the password you set for the admin folder. You can control the PTC site from this admin folder.

Step 7 - Advertisers
Scroll down.

Now how to install PTCsite2 (The better one)

Step 1 - Uploading the Files
Begin by opening FileZilla and connecting to your server. Upload all the files in the 'script' folder. This should be pretty straight forward.


Step 2 - Uploading sqldump.sql

Firstly create a mySql table. This can often be done from the 'mySql' page. It does not matter what name you enter, or are given.
Now, find the file 'database.txt' in the place you extracted the files. Rename this to sqldump.sql
Now, find phpMyAdmin in your hosting control panel. (Have to be vague, as it depends from host to host.)
Once logged in, select the database from the drop-down list from the left section of the page.
Now, click SQL from the top menu of the main section. Use the Location of the textfile select the file to upload (sqldump.sql). If asked to choose compression, choose None! Now, upload the file.
(Comment >> Yes I know this can be done through shell, but it's easier this way... also that I got lazy)

Step 3 - Modifying the Config Files
Firstly open 'config.php' in the 'script' folder in Notepad or Dreamweaver.
You will be presented with a script which looks like
Code:
<?php

// Database configuration

$bd_host = "localhost";
$bd_usuario = "username";
$bd_password = "password";
$bd_base = "database";
$url = "http://www.yourdomain.com";
$con = mysql_connect($bd_host, $bd_usuario, $bd_password); mysql_select_db($bd_base, $con);

?>
Update the 'username' that you entered or were given when creating your database. Do the same for 'password' for the password and 'database' for the name of the database. Change the url to your site url, including the www.net.
Now, upload this using FileZilla and replace 'config.php' and then upload it again replacing '/admin/config.php', as they are the same files.

Step 4 - Access The Admin Panel
Navigate to www.yoursite.com/admin and login using admin as your username and 123456 as your password. Edit your settings as you like.

Step 5 - Advertisers
Look down!

Advertisers
The true nature of PTC sites is the fact that you send users to advertisers in attempts to sign them up; then use some of the money which you get back to pay the user.
This is known as
CPA - Cost per Acquisition (A user signs up) and
CPL - Cost Per Lead (Leading a potential customer to a site)
I have not yet had any experience with advertisers, however there are many ways you can find them. You can either have them sign up directly on your site, paying a flat rate for clicks. You can also contact organisations asking if anything is available.
My preference is to use a marketing company. Two which may possibly work well with PTC are:
- Cactus Media - The Leader In Performance Based Marketing!
- Pay Per Lead Advertising Cost Per Lead CPL Advertising Pay Per Lead Program Pay Per Lead Affiliate Program Banner Ad Affiliate Campaigns
Sign up on both if you wish. Cactus media includes ones like blockbuster I believe.
Please remember, I have not had any experience with either, and I am not sure how easily it would be to use their services with these PTC scripts.

I hope that you have enjoyed reading this and that it has helped you. If you experience any problems, please just reply and I'll try my best to fix things up if I can. If you notice I have forgotten something or made a mistake, please PM me or just reply. Hopefully your PTC works well, and you can have fun starting to momentize it.

Personal note to self - NEVER FUCKING DO THAT AGAIN YOU DUMBASS!... NOW YOUR WRISTS ARE SORE AND IT'S 1AM IN THE MORNING!

EARN EASY PROFIT THE REAL HOT CASH
If the advertisers pay 0.01 per click and you pay your users 0.005 per click and 0.002 per referral click and there are 10 ads per day you would earn around 0.003 per click they make, including the clicks you make. And if other people quit like you mentioned you would earn yourself free clicks... and you can even display some affiliate products so if your website is really popular you could earn $20 for each product you sell from being an affiliate... Not to mention adding google or yahoo ads.. Wow this doesn't seem like a pretty bad idea.. And if it doesn't go well you can always flip the site for a lot of cash if you have good revenue..
