Study Details
A promotion platform for users to promote their personal site trough ad banners.
Implementation Idea
AdZone would consist on a iFrame that users can add to their site where every x seconds the ad banner would change. If the user clicks on the banner it would go to that banner site on a new tab.
The banner would be made by the user which could be uploaded to a public file host. The user then would send the banner link and the site information (url and title) trough GitHub issues or PRs. A email option would also be available but that is still pending.
The banner can be either a webp for simple banners but also animated banners using either gif or webp.
The code would simply go trough a .json database with all the joined websites like this:
{
"adBanner": [
{
"title": "SurfScape",
"url": "https://surfscape.github.io",
"banner": "https://imagehost.com/surfscape_banner.gif"
}
]
}
and after some amount of time it would go to the next item in the array using a for loop.
Notes
AdZone is part of the SurfScape Advertising project which can be seen by the track code having SSA-AZ (SurfScape Advertising - AdZone).
SSA already as a page for AdZone with additional information. However this site will be deprecated with a new version using the SurfKit UI framework.
