I'm not sure about the coding aspect, but in the theoretical realm, it would have to check against their IPs or a cookie in order to make sre you didn't get 1 a-hole that likes to cick on the same guy's link and run his bill through the roof. just 1 thing I noticed off hand, good luck with your project!
I am currently making a plan of all the functions required to make this work, and I have decided that to begin, I must work on a database to store user accounts and information. Any suggestions on designing this database?
Any other suggestions regarding the overall idea are appreciated.
There is nothing like this on PostNuke, but it's a good platform to begin from (IMO).
PN gives you a lot of features already solved (member registry, login, content, users and gropus management, etc, etc.) and there are also some "payement" modules available.
"Pay per click" means (IMO) to have a "filled-pre-payed" account, and then "discount" each click-for-search, isnt it?
