When you install Prosper202 it will create all the tables and fields for you in the database. All you have to do is create the database, and then you enter the DB name, username and password into the 202-config.php file. It will do the rest when you follow the installation instructions.

Hello Josh,

I created MySQL database but I am not very experienced in this, so I would like to ask you how many fields I should create in my database.

I have only created 2: "id" and "name" but I am not sure if it is right.

Help will be much appreciated

What type of hack were you looking for? Tracking 202 works fine for PPV the way it is as long as it's on a good server (VPS or Dedicated).

Yes I understand your scenario perfectly. What I am telling you is that you don't need to create new links every time you update your bid. Just continue using the first link that you created, and then update the click costs through the Update tab each day as detailed above.

Thanks Josh.

Let me paint a scenario. I have 1000 targets in MT. Each target cpv cost differs. Some maybe 0.015, some may be 0.025 and so on as I am being outbidded. I can either match the competing CPV or I can outbid all of them by placing 0.03 for all my targets. In this case, my P202 tracking url CPV has to be updated as 0.03 and that tracking url has to be reuploaded to MT as my new targets url. Thats why I asked the initial question.

All you have to do is go to the Update tab in P202 and then click "Update CPC Costs". You can do this each day and update the actual click/view costs for the previous day. If you can't find a report with the average CPV for the day, just take the total spent for yesterday at MT and divide it by the number of views you received.

P202 is good but one problem I faced is that everytime I am being outbidded in MT, I have to update my new tracking p202 URL with the new bid into MT again.

Anyone has a better solution to this?
