Openads 2.4 – the Affiliate Ad Server

I’m frequently asked by fellow affiliates about how to manage all of the banners for different affiliate programs. My answer always comes down to one solution – get Openads.

If you’re not familiar with Openads, it’s a free, open source ad server that enables affiliates to create campaigns for the affiliate programs they promote, compare performance through a variety of reports, and TEST.

The testing is the most important part to me – you can rotate lots of different ads in the same location on a site to determine which ones perform best for you.

If any affiliate programs just aren’t working for you, it’s a matter of a couple clicks to vaporize them from all of your sites through Openads.

So anyway, they’ve just announced the release of latest stable version, Openads 2.4.

This new release introduces some big improvements and new features:

• More control over ad space
• Simple and reliable upgrade process
• Faster ad serving capable of scaling to billions of ads each month

Also, Jeremy Schoemaker recently had Scott Switzer of Openads on the ShoeMoney Show on Webmaster Radio. Definitely worth a listen for more insight into OpenAds.
