Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Software and Control Panels : Ad Banner Management Software

[spcover]

I'm developing a series of regional guides/sites and need a good ad banner management system that allows for targetting ads across sites. Currently I'm using a C-based cgi-script system called CentralAd from CentralAd.com that has a lot of problems.

I've posted a thread at SitePoint Forums. See

http://www.sitepointforums.com/showt...?threadid=8490

I've gotten some replies from people recommending some systems or scripts and some third-party services that can do this kind of stuff for me. But nothing recommended so far has the flexibility or affordability I require.

I am hoping that some of you have used or have clients who use some good advertising management software that can be recommended.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the cgi-extremes push at the moment but I'm there right now and saw the past two posts I replied to.

has 6 pages of them so you may find what you're looking for there. Most are free to $100 or so, and some look very slick from what I could see.

I have used phpAds from Tobias Ratschiller. Totally awesome and totally free.

phpAds is really a class apart.
Very easy to install and use.
Cool....

I think adcycle was great. Not to hard to setup and it can really pound out the banner ads. There is a trial then if I remember right its 50 dollars or so to buy. Well worth the money.

Since this thread was resurrected, I'll just add that shortly after I started this thread in Sept 2000 I purchased AdvertPro, available at

http://www.AdvertPro.com.

It is not cheap, but an excellent program. Very flexible and I am able to deliver ads across the dozen websites (with different domains) I manage. I can set up multiple regions, multiple advertising accounts and run combinations of ads all over. Great for HTML/Rich Media ads as well.

It's not a recommended solution for single sites delivering only moderate amounts of ads, but definitely worth it if you have moderate to high requirements for an ad management solution.

try banmanpro.com or aspcode.net for admentor.

I have used Web Adverts (http://awsd.com/scripts/webadverts/) for a long time. I have used it for banner exchange programs but it is usable for paid programs too. ($50)

I have also installed bannerplus (which is free) and is something like webadverts but with less administration capabilities.
