Programmers Love It!

Have you ever wanted to build in your own features without risk of breaking code by the original programmers? And what about updates and patches? Will all your expensive tailor made code be lost?

Not any more. With Ventrino's unique framework you can write any code you wish at any point in the templates and know that it won't be lost the first time you apply an update or patch. Special tags can be placed anywhere in the templates that allow you trun server side code: <php> your code ,- </php>. Your programmer can even place the result SQL directly in any position with <sql> ... </sql> tags and the output can be a single result or complex results displayed in a table that in herits the attributes of the template automatically using <grd> ... </grid> tags.

Simply put there is no more powerful script that bridges the relationship between software manufacturer and individual programmer who wishes to add their own specific features.

Making The Designers Job Easy!

Have you ever tried to integrate a web template only to find it fussy about the position of tables and spaces and with only a minor addition everything goes from a professional look to something designed by a 5 year old?

History

The script started development in 1994 as a tool for middle and senior management at one of the UK's leading high street banks as an aid to find "anything of interest" on the web.  The web offered academic, technical and scientific information rather than commercial information but the bank was keen to keep it's management up to date with latest trends.  The script gave them the ability to share interesting sites with each other.

Although they surfed in the same way as today's Traffic Exchange they had the ability to rate web sites rather than earn credits for viewing.  The "top rated" list rapidly gained popularity and was even set as the home page when new PC's were rolled out across the company.

With some modifications the script was published on a public server in 1996.  It's popularity grew fast and after a few months the load on the server led my ISP to request it be moved to a new hosting plan.  Necessity is the mother of all invention they say and it was at this point the script converted from a fun tool to a commercial purpose.  The introduction of a small fee and credits helped pay for the hosting.

Today's script is different from the one released in 1996 but the basic principle is the same.  Traffic Exchanges are still a driving force behind the web and pre-date even heavy-weights such as Google for online advertising and locating useful information.  I won't try to argue they are better, not even my bias can overcome some blazingly obvious shortcomings, but they have their place in advertising and their popularity continues to grow.  They have become a popular "niche" market and can attract many thousands of members in a short space of time.

Each new Traffic Exchange owner brings their own style and energy to the industry which has produced remarkable results.  Results not just good for the owner but his and her members too.  Often owners specialize in a subject that interests them, we have seen all kinds of subjects covered from music genres to farming.

Right at this moment you have the exciting prospect of joining those other innovators.  With the most flexible, functional and easy to customize script in the Traffic Exchange market you have the opportunity to become the leader in your niche.  If you are a design expert there is no limit to what you can do with the script, if you are a novice or not interested in web design then for a few dollars you can get a unique design put together for you based on the theme of your choice.

With your design ready it's time to publish your site to the world and begin promotion.  To ease this process we have created many tools that allow you to control the networking capabilities of the script.  You can go full guns blazing or use a more subtle approach, the choice is yours.

Let's get started by checking system requirements.
