PHP vs ASP??

Yep, there have been many blog posts elsewhere about which one to use. And they all point to... PHP. I agree.

Point 1: You'll find that because PHP is open source, hosts that support PHP are cheaper. And with some hosts, ASP servers usually cost quite a bit more.

Point 2: On hotscripts.com, a website providing an innumerable number (not really) of scripts, there are more than four times as many PHP scripts as there are ASP ones.

If you are talking about functionality, basically anything that works in one language works in another; that is not to say that both are interchangeable, just that they both have equivalent functions.

ExitExplosion.com | Get Free Traffic From Exit Traffic

In the email used to promote this tool to me, the marketer described it as 'legally stealing,' which it is, in a way. The phrase 'legal stealing' has been used so much, it's long lost it's response.

All in all, Exit Explosion is a Javascript code and an account. That's it. When someone tries to move their mouse over the back button or to the location bar (address bar), an on-page pop-over pops up (forgive me).

The pop-up has the ads of other Exit Explosion webmasters, and their pop-ups have yours. They have a higher click through rate (they're REALLY eye-catching). They're non-intrusive.

Here's the down side: you get to show your ad once for every twice you show other people's ads. That sucks. But hey, it's free, what did you expect?

You've got traffic. Check it out. Grab the code.
