ad manager needed

I'm sick of openX, for some reason I just can't get it to work - and support sucks.

If I need to pay for a quality product, I'm all for it.

Give me some suggestions, I need them. Thanks!

Looks cheap enough to try. Or go with Juicyads.com

JuicyAds offers an ad manager? I know you can buy/sell ads with them.

I can help you set up openx if you want.

Here is the thread that helped me get it to work: https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=657758

I felt just like you 'till fusionx blessed me with the following post:

It is easy to mess things up, though. It's so flexible you can tie yourself in knots.

One thing to remember - it's campaign driven.

Advertisers are logical groupings of banners/links. Advertisers have Campaigns, and Advertisers have banners. Now, thsoe banners go into Campaigns for the Advertiser. Simple, right? hehe - sounds easy enough.

Publishers are simply where the banners go. I use each web site as a Publisher. Publishers have zones. Zones are simply where the banners will show up on a web site.

Here's the trick - When you add a banner to an advertiser, then subsquently add it to a campaign, then place the campaign in zones, possibly across multiple publishers, the aggregate view and click ratios are calculated. To make things worse, if you reuse the same banner in a seperate campaign, the probability of that banner being shown again is all messed up.

The only way to use phpAdsNew and keep all the math right is to duplicate the banner and add it to a NEW campaign for each publisher you want to run it on.

We did 3,351,328 ad views yesterday on one ad server, and 1,304,294 on another (two installs on the same server platform) so I know it's robust as hell and capable of serving a LOT of ads :)

Want a performance tip? Convert your database tables to INNODB. It will triple the performance immediately. Also, don't use verbose mode for Stats - use Compact. Try to stay out of the Admin area during peak times, and definately stay out of the Stats until you hit your low traffic point of the day.

(phpadsnew = openx)

I haven't used it but I've read great things about it here and there on this board. I remember reading that it doesn't hog resources like OpenX does.

For the longest time I hated the fact that OpenX didn't allow me to run different size banners in the same zone. One day I was on another board and someone said that they use an asterisk in the size field and there are no problems.

Now, I can run different size banners in spots like the space between sections on TGP's (e.g., a leaderboard and a 500X300 ad in the same spot). Since I was told of that workaround, I actually like OpenX.

I've been fucking up openx since it was phpadsnew.

That helps. thanks!

I get stuck here: remnant, campaign, etc

Also, can you help me figure this out?

I have one zone that I want to rotate 4 banners in. I own 2 of those banners and Bob owns 2 of those banners.

I want them to rotate evenly, UNTIL Bob gets X views. Then his banners fall out and mine continue to rotate.

have you tried using includes. You can use the same text file across multiple domains and then change out the text file. Pretty easy and you dont have to mess with a script. Guess it depends on what your trying to do.

I need a script to rotate banners whilst the surfer is on the same page. One of my clients gives away a live hard show (you can have it for your site for free), and he needs the banner to refresh every x seconds. OpenX falls over when you try and do this and crashes the box.

Any suggestions?
