Thanks for the advice. Why did you give up on openX? Do you have a link for 'Ad Manager'

I believe an Adsense account is required.

Openx was phpadnews. For me, it was bloated software. Too many features not needed. Made the whole learning process difficult. Updates were also an issue.

With Google Ad Manager there's no need to worry about "updates", security issues, etc. Now, I have just the right amount of features - no clutter.

If you do decide to use Ad Manager take a look at their Getting Started video and help section. Will get you started in no time.

Be advised though...
their is a learning curve.

good luck

You can go with the hosted openX
https://login.openx.org/sso/login
and not have to worry about updates as well ;)

It was pretty easy for me to pick up, just make a site, zones and place the banners. (it took me about 20 mins to figure it out the first time)
I haven't messed with the google version, but to me it's a "if it's not broke" type of thing
openX works effortlessly, and I think there is even a vb mod that you can use with it, not that it's needed.
