  1. Robert Lönn Says:

    wow! This is the first time I hear about about this initiative. I appreciate the information rich blog post. I will take this into consideration on my own sites, thank you.

  2. Why is my computer so slow? Says:

    Very cool. I'll definitely consider adding this to my site. Thanks.

  3. Speed Up PC Says:

    Wow, you guys are right on top of this stuff. Right now I only use google adsense, but I'm definately going to consider using OpenX, awesome stuff.

  4. Nailsblog Says:

    I've used OpenX in the past and it was a bit too cumbersome for the minimum ad serving I was doing. As an awesome replacement, I would recommend using WP-Ads, assuming you are operating a Word Press blog.

    WP-Ads is a simple plugin that allows for ad creation, rotation, and even the ability to assign weight to a certain ad. This has been working for me just great, at least until I need a bigger hitter like OpenX.

  5. mrLami Says:

    Just ran into your software and I cannot wait to test run it.

  6. Web Hosting Says:

    We are using openx to serve ads for our free web hosting sites. The ability to geo-target ads is one of the features that comes in handy big time and the script is highly stable. highly recommended.

  57. John Eden Says:

    Our 2.8 installation got a serious security exploit, the code was manipulated and the site was blocked by Google from being a malware source. We've since switched to AdSpeed.com, a hosted service that's pretty easy to use with much better support than I got from OpenX community.

  58. Celebrities Says:

    OpenX Ad Server 2.8 sounds very interesting. I've tried the online demo but I'm not sure if I'll use it. I already have a custom-made ad system but I'm considering replacing my current system with OpenX.
