Replacing MySQL Connection with MySQLi connection in many of our Web Applications

A few months back, I had published a post about updating our Timesheet script to make it work with the latest PHP version by replacing MySQL connection with MySQLi connection.

 Past few days, I was working on implementing this change in our other applications also. Because I was forced to change the PHP version in our servers for updating our websites with the latest WordPress.

I did these MySQL connection changes for our quiz app   and for various apps (e.g Gallery, Facebook Covers, Greetings) of our TheQuotes.Net website.

While doing these changes I tried to improve the page loading performance.
All these changes might have introduced any new error. Let me know if you find any error when going through our websites.

Most of the old php/mysql applications will require this change. So, contact me if you want me to make your ph/mysql application work with the latest php version.  I can do it by charging affordable Hourly charges.

Promoting my Amazon Books again

A few months back I was actively promoting my Amazon Books (Quotes Book and YouTube earning Book) using various ad Campaigns including Amazon's AMS ads, Google Ad Words, Reddit Ads, Facebook Ads, Goodreads Giveaway, LinkedIn Ads and Bookbub ads. But they are not much useful for my Books.  So, I stopped promoting my Books. Among all these Ad platforms, Amazon's AMS was performing better than others. But still, it was not making a profit.

A few days back, I have decided to promote my Book again.  Instead of spending all my time and money in many ad platforms, I have decided to stick with one particular advertising platform still I start making a profit from Book Sales.

As Amazon's AMS was performing better than others, I decided to start with AMS ads. I noticed that Amazon renamed AMS into "Amazon Advertising", and my previous campaigns were there. I just created new campaigns by copying the existing campaigns and started running with a small budget. I am planning to carefully tweak the ads continuously to make them profitable, and once after start earning money from Book Sales, I am planning to increase the Ad budget step by step.

 And, I have noticed that Amazon's new Advertising interface having many new useful features comparing to the previous AMS. Especially I like the option to see the reports for the date range. But still, the ACOS metric is not much useful. Because it is calculated based on sales price instead of the royalty amount.

I am exploring various options to improve Ad performance. If you have tried Amazon Advertising for promoting your Book, share your suggestions based on your experience through the comments.
