Add-ons

This is the Add-on page, where you can find additional tools and resources available exclusively to PenSol, LLC hosted websites. Each add-on is designed to help you and your website become more versatile to help your business grow.

The currently featured Add-on is the Link Exchange program. We have developed exclusive software which allows you to join our link exchange by adding only a few lines of code to your existing web page. The majority of the work is performed by software scripts automatically which allows your existing web page to remain free of complex server side includes and php coding required in most other banner and link exchange programs.

You can click here to see an example of the banner program in action.

L ink Exchanges were created to increase traffic and promote the web site of the members. By joining a link exchange program, you submit a small advertisement banner of your own web site. This banner will then be displayed on all the other members' web pages, giving your site advertisement and providing a link that visitors can click and be directly transferred to your web page. In return, you must also place a banner on your page which advertises the sites of other members of the Link Exchange so that each member gets the same benefits.

The Link Exchange program that we offer performs a random banner selection. That is, when your site is visited a random banner is selected from the pool of all available banners and is displayed on your site. It could be a banner ad for your site, or for one of the other members of the exchange. If a visitor clicks on the banner, it will act like a link taking the user to the new site.

At this time the selection of which banner to display is random, however in future versions we might consider doing a click-through rating where the more times someone clicks the banner ad of someone else on your site, the more your own banner is displayed on other sites. This would allow sites which promote the banner ad to benefit more from it.

To join the Link Exchange program, simply e-mail us your banner ad in a 400 by 75 pixel gif image. Upon approval, the ad will then be placed on the ad rotation list. You then must add the banner code to your own website. We can add the code to your page, or you can add it yourself. If you wish to add it yourself, the following lines should be added in the header section of your page:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> function update() { var newSeed = (Math.floor( (Math.random()) * 10000 )); document.LinkEx.src=("http://www.pensol.com/cgi-bin/nph-banner.pl?"+newSeed); document.links[0].href=("http://www.pensol.com/cgi-bin/nph-redirect.pl?"+newSeed); id = setTimeout("update()", 45000); } </SCRIPT>

Y ou will also need to add an OnLoad="update()" to you <BODY> tag.

Y ou then create the link and banner on your page:

<A HREF="" NAME="LinkExchangeURL"> <IMG name="LinkEx" src="http://www.pensol.com/cgi-bin/nph-banner.pl" width="400" height="75" border=0> </A>

NOTE: If the banner is not the first link on the page, then you need to change the links[a] to the appropriate number which corresponds to the banner link,
