Looking for an Ad Management Program!

[Imaster]

Hi,

I have a few questions.

I want to run 4-5 different rich media codes for my client's website using some ad management program. My questions are:

1. Which is the best and robust ad management program for linux system and capable of serving around a million pageviews per day easily. [please list their websites also where I could download them]

2. Would google's adsense program also work with it?

Thanks.

Phpadsnew is pretty good. It is a very nice open source project and even comes with a 100 page PDF manual.

The number of ads it can server per day is upto the hardware.

As for google adsense, I'm not sure.

Hello Imaster,

Why not check out PhpAdsNew. It has all what you need and more, you can find it at phpadsnew.com

Hope this helps.

Hi Eaden and NS,

Thanks a lot for your replies. I am currently taking a look at the software.

I will get back to ya soon :)

NS, one more question : Is it very fast to load or does it slow down the pages? And can it serve around a million pageviews?

Thanks again for all your help.

Imaster, that all depends on hardware

Thanks Eaden, I will try it out and determine :)

Hi Imaster,

Like eaden said, speed depends on your server & server software. But *if* you are running your site on a good machine, then PhpAdsNew can handle *WAY* more then million impressions.

Generally when you use javascript to serve banner, you can be almost certain that the load time will increase by few seconds, so can't help you much there, however if you are using PhpAdsNew on a static site or on php pages then I would *highly* recommend you to use "Local Mode" banner innovacation method. This method is lot more effective then Java and also helps on the page load time.

Hey NS,

Thanks again for all the words of wisdom and tips ;) I will check out the software as soon as possible and let you know how it works.

Take care :)

Hi NS,

All my pages are static html pages (and shtml pages as well). The local invocation method provides a php code which I believe can be added only to php files. Is there any way I could append them to the html or shtml pages.

Thanks

Yeah you can use php in .html pages. I am doing the same ;)

Just add below line in your .htaccess file

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

I am not sure if you will be able to phrase both .html and .shtml pages at php, but there is nothing wrong in trying (let me know what the result is, or tell me and I will try it), to see if you can phrase both .html and .shtml at the same time you can try below line

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .shtml

P.S.. I personally don't think it would work.. but well things don't always work the way I think, so this is worth a shot.

If you're using PHPAdsNew, and have control over your server, then it's probably wise to also install some PHP Acceleration software, such as the ionCube PHP Accelerator or Zend Optimiser. This will allow you to increase the number of banner ads you can serve on the same hardware.
