The Project Wonderful script is collecting wrong info of the ad clicked by blog’s visitors. This is not really a big problem. I just don’t have ideas on what to write.

By the way, Project wonderful is a advertising network where advertisers bid for the ad spot offered by a particular ad publishers.

Here’s what I did before discovered this bug.

I am using the Top Blog (.com.ph) ranking website when hopping from one blog to the others. The first blog that I visited is the Blog of Sir Manuel Villoria. On his “$100 Dollars A Day” post, I found a comment of Jan Alvin asking Sir Villoria a help to increase his own blog. I checked Jan Alvin’s blog by clicking the link posted.

At Jan Alvin’s blog, I found the ad of Bro. Macuha which was served by the Project Wonderful. When I clicked the ad, I found out that I was sent to the address as shown on the screenshot below (boxed with red color):

Project Wonderful

The address tells the “Project Wonderful redirect script” this number  11385969 which is the ad number of Brother Macuha’s ad and the address http%3A//www.manuelviloria.com/archives/100-dollars-a-day/ which is the referrer’s address.

The ad that I clicked was actually displayed at the Blog Tambayan of Jan Alvin, however, the address collected by the Project Wonderful as the source of the click was the post of Sir Villoria, “$100 Dollars A Day.”

Talking about the Project Wonderful, I already changed the banner displayed at the header part of this blog.

Previously, I was displaying the 436×60 ad of Adbrite. My income to this ad (adbrite) is much better compared to my income when I was still displaying the Bidvertiser’s 468×60 on this spot. The only problem of Adbrite’s 468×60 is that it displayed ads of the Dating and Adult websites. So, got no choice but to stop using Adbrite ad on this blog. I better not to earn money than to promote real adult or dating websites.

    I didn’t know about that. Thats because I’m not clicking the ads. Maybe I should try too, to see if there are problems.

    Perhaps PW is keeping track of both the immediate referring url (Jan Alvin’s site), and the url that lead to his Blog Tambayan site.
