Can anyone recommend good Banner Ad Management software?

I want to put a banner ad management tool on my site so that users can pay through PayPal or 2CO to put their image or text ads on the designated positions on my site.

The tool must be able to accept PayPal or 2CO payment, and price can be set by banner location, ad size and the length of showing.

Any recommendation? I am sure some of you are already using this kind of tool on your sites.

Thanks

have you tried openx?

I've been looking for something that does this for years, and nothing is out there that I've been able to find. I still handle all of my advertising manually.

OpenX doesn't have payment module, if I am not mistaken. You will have to buy some PayPal plugin from individual developers, which I don't feel comfortable with.

I actually did some research and found two products that do what I want:

Adpeeps
Softbiz admanager(Ad Management Software – PHP Ad Management Software – ADMANAGER)

From the feature list, they both do everything I want. Adpeeps goes further allowing advertisers to do geo targeting. Of course Adpeeps is a lot pricier. I think I am going to choose one of them.

I use vBAdvertise, but to pay for it, you need vbcredits, although since my site already uses it, I have it working with vbcredits, its addon, vbcommerce all synced up. Cost a bit, but I had it all before vBAdvertise.

I use this one and it works great!

In the end I purchased Adpeeps.

The reason is that they allow 7 days of trial and during trial it worked great.

Purchased for $99 for one domain installation. But you can manage/sell ads on multiple sites.

Adpeeps is totally encrypted and has very limited customization capability.

Well despite it still being for sale and advertised to work with vb4. It doesn't wok with vb4.0.7 I can assure you.

Firstly ads are only showing under the Navbar and depending on the type flash/graphic it will open either one or two pages and your main window will reopen in the front page - also the Quicklinks button is no longer usable ....

They have no support, it appears the owner of the site has abandoned it except to update and make sure the products still sell!!

I'm about to ask for my money back and in my honest opinion you are better off finding another banner solution - I'm going to look at a other ones mentioned here

thx for the other banner management links fellas

HI Brian,

Is there a way vBulletin owners can place specific ads forcertain categories only? For example, if a vBulletin owner was an affiliate of LinkShare, CJ, and other ad networks, and let's say for example I created a category on the forum to talk about "Space" and only wanted affiliate banner ads from Discovery Channel ONLY in the "Space" category, how can I go about configuring the forum in the admin panel , so that i can set it up that way? Any help would be greatly appreciated! =)

Sorry, but support is offered for vbseo customers only. If you have general vb questions, you should ask them at vbulletin.com or vbuleltin.org.

Adpeeps works Ok. Thanks! I wonder why VB spending work resources into SPAM-email-software and Google absence integration, instead of producing something useful for forum admins. Photo Gallery and Web directory, would be nice... Not even asking for improvements of ad-management.

I realize this is an old post but Brian did you ever run across a suitable ad management program, I have been looking at http://www.oiopublisher.com/ but I am not so sure how well it will integrate with VB?
