Oh, I didn't know that

I just checked the site though and it does state freeware/shareware versions available.

It must be the freeware option with the banners.

Sorry for the mistake.

Simon.

adcycle is shareware

at the moment im adding extra options

banner weighing
supports multiple banner sizes off the same script

i think around $60 should be good

Hello Graeme,

The adcycle.com script is free, but it shows banners in the admin center.

Perhaps you could do a similar thing, offer your program for free but supported with banners. You could make money by selling ads in your 'network'. After all, the people using it would be webmasters so it would give you some targeting as well.

$100 is way too much....
You can buy vBulletin for less than that, and it's more complicated.

"admin scripts expires after 30days"
Now, I know this isn't compiled source, so...
Are you running this all from your server?
Or, if your having 'customers' download this....
How are you going to keep people from tampering with it?

i was thinking of affering it for shareware (admin scripts expires after 30days) then maybe charging $100 to register the script since that seems a good price when working off what them php scripts offer

Honestly, it's probably not worth very much. So much stuff on the web these days is open source and given away for free that you're not going to get people standing in line to buy something similar. Check out a free scripts archive like http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/ and you'll see that there are at least a dozen freeware ad rotation scripts available. Just do an honest assessment of the free scripts and see how yours stands up in comparison. What features do you offer that the free scripts don't? How many people need those features? What might they be willing to pay? That will tell you what to try charging for yours.
