    AFF banners very slow again - solution?

    My AFF (and cams.com) banners are very slow again today, sometimes they won't even load at all.

    I was thinking of a php script that pings the banner servers from aff and if the response time is very high, it shows a banner that I saved on my server instead of a geo-targetted one from the AFF servers. Of course, the pinging wouldn't happen every single pageview, but with a chron job (for example). Has anyone tried something like this?

      This would be cool, then I can start using their geo targeted banners again (or at least put them somewhere other than the bottom of my page).

          I had something like that a couple years ago

          a certain sponsors join page would go down quite a bit

          so I made a .exe to ping it every X minutes and if it was over the specified timeout it would replace the links for me

          a php version with cron wouldnt be a bad idea ( didnt know much about cron back then )

                  I tried implementing it and it seems that the ping response from banners.adultfriendfinder.com is good (always < 200ms). So it's not the connection that is slow, but the software implemented on the server. Therefor, a simple ping won't do the trick, the script will have to request the whole banner and see how slow the server responds.

                  That's a good solution if the servers always responds within a few seconds and you don't want to place your ad at the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, the server reply doesn't always come within a few seconds. For example, today, it either doesn't shows up at all (90%) or after more than 5 or 10 seconds (10%).

                  A script like the one I want would still show the banner, without lag, if the AFF server is slow. This way, I won't have geo-targetted ads, but I will still send some traffic to the AFF page (although the amount is a lot less than with geo-targetted ads).
