Guys,

i just started a new module called OpenX Manager (OpenX = OpenAds). It will allow Drupal sites control remote OpenX servers. Users might create campaigns, banners, publishers and zones and also import all these data from the server.

It uses the OpenX API intensively. And because the API is new and yet very simplistic, the module only allows you to create/edit/delete these contents. Its not possible to check statistics for example.

My final objective is to integrate it with another module i maintain: e-Commerce, letting people to buy ad space.

I would love to get some feedback.

I'm looking for beta testers at Ad Bard, an open source advertising network that I'm building using Drupal and the Ad module. The project is current in beta testing, with the current goal being to build a network of websites focused in one way or another on free and open source software. If you're interested in participating, please sign up for a free account, and follow the directions to place the appropriate javascript on your website.

I'm also quite interested in hearing feedback on the idea. What would it take for an advertising network like this to be interesting to you? What features would you like to see? I look forward to any suggestions and/or criticisms.

I have a consumer information site in a very specific niche. I've got AdSense and Commission Junction accounts today, but I think it would be very feasible to sell CPM ads directly (since this is such a specific niche and I know a lot of the players personally). The question is, using what platform?

My closest competitor uses Open AdStream by Real Media (and they say this on their site!) but their site also happens to be written in ColdFusion so I don't think of them as cutting-edge...

Robert Douglass: So how? We make a wiki page for each section? Here's one for events.
BorisMann: I was thinking more about a wiki page per issue, and the issue could get flesh out over time.
Robin Monks: Boris, sounds good!
BorisMann: I was thinking that we could stick to Markdown rather than HTML, to make it easier to make a plaintext version. Still not ideal for links, of course.
Robin Monks: Boris, the text version is automatically generated from the HTML output Drupal creates, so it doesn't really matter.

So far, I have read the AdSense module and Node Profile module's “readme” files, the AdSense and Node Profile module's descriptions, the AdSense author's module info on his web site, and done a search on both d.o and g.d.o. However, I didn't find my answer.

I was wondering about the AdSense when using the Node Profile module because when I go to my website's modules page, e.g. www.abc.com/admin/build/modules, under the AdSense module it states: "Depends on: Profile". This means the core profile module must be enabled for AdSense to work.

Basically, I'm confused on what gets stored if I use both modules (core profile out of a necessity for AdSense AND Node Profile as my choice for enhanced profiles).

If not I assume that everyone in this forum either is not running 5.x, or is not advertising on their sites. I doubt that either assumption is true, so can someone please tell me the secret?

How do I accomplish advertising on a 5.x site.

I saw that the calssifieds module is ported. But I don't need classifieds. I need text, banner and button ads.

Not too long ago, Google announced FREE processing of your Google Checkout sales until the end of 2007. That's right - more than a year's worth of free processing!

From now through December 31, 2007, you can process Checkout transactions for free, even if you aren't an AdWords advertiser. If you're already an AdWords advertiser, you can process your Checkout transactions for free regardless of your AdWords spend.

This potentially affects folks who use Drupal's ecommerce and advertising modules. Wouldn't you like to use Google Checkout (GC) for your Drupal web site(s)? Before that's possible, we need someone to create a module. Unfortunately, GC currently works ONLY in the United States. Regardless, I'd like to see a developer step up and write a membership subscriptions-based, recurring credit card charges capable module and I'd be willing to make a small financial contribution. Here's a short GC video demo, but please read on for more info.

Far too many months ago, I decided that the design of the Drupal banner module made it too difficult to maintain and began working on an improved replacement. At that time I got as far as defining the database schema, but then life distracted me and the project was left unfinished. In the past couple of weeks I've had a need again for the new ad module, so I've dusted it off and begun implementation. Today I've uploaded an alpha version that can randomly display image ads, tracking how many times the ad has been viewed or clicked. It is a humble beginning, but ready for a few brave alpha testers to give it a try, report problems, review the code, and make suggestions.

The goal of the new module is to provide a simple to install scalable advertising API that offers necessary ad management features such as randomly displaying ads, auto-activation, auto-expiration, limits, notifications, statistics, and ecommerce integration. Different types of ads will be supported through plug in modules, such as the included ad_image module for displaying banners and image-block ads. The forthcoming ad_text module will offer adsense-style text advertising. The API makes it possible for additional advertising types to be contributed later by third parties to display for example flash ads, or externally hosted ads.
