Ad servers to help you display banner advertisements
| Wed, 2007-11-14 23:05 — David Herron |
Bannerfish Bannerfish is a GPL web banner ad server written with Twisted. I wrote it because I didn't feel like installing a security risk like PHP on my web server. It's intended for small sites that don't need too many features. The server is written in Python and requires running a separate python-based web server.
phpAdsNew 2 phpAdsNew is an open-source ad server, with an integrated banner management interface and tracking system for gathering statistics. With phpAdsNew you can easily rotate paid banners and your own in-house advertisements. You can even integrate banners from third party advertising companies.
Max Media Manager - Open Source Ad Server Max Media Manager is a set of tools which enable online marketing campaigns. Written in PHP, Max is based on phpAdsNew. The core modules include an Ad Server and Conversion Tracking Tools. The most recent version of Max also has an API for extension modules developed by the community. Yes, this one is derived from the same code as the phpAdsNew 2 server.
Open source Ad Serving and Inventory System (OASIS) OASIS is a high-performance ad server built using PHP on top of MySQL. It is designed to handle many hundreds of thousands of ad impressions per hour. On moderately capable hardware, it is capable of serving in the neigborhood of 500,000 impressions per hour.
adSapient An open source ad server written in Java using Struts etc. It was formerly a closed source product and is used by the AdSapient corporation in their commercial service. They claim it has all the features you could possibly want.
Tclads is a simple, extensible banner rotation system, written mostly in Tcl (a tiny bit of C code is used for password encryption).
UPDATE: I was turned off by all of the above scripts for one reason or another. In response I wrote the dead simple banner advertisement rotation system which is, uh, dead simple to use. It doesn't keep any statistics, it doesn't limit the number of impressions, it doesn't walk the dog, it just selects random banners and displays them.

Re: Ad servers to help you display banner advertisements
David,
I am not sure if this note will reach you but....
I learned about you when I was doing some research on my 2007 zapino on the website visforvoltage.
I have been wanting to add banners to our non profit website. I was reading this blog about adservers to help add banners to a website and noticed that you wrote it 11/2007.
I am interested in pursuing banner ads for DisabledCommunity.Org.
Are you aware of any great changes since you wrote this piece?
DisabledCommunity.Org is a small non profit that I started when I was in my masters in gerontology program which I started after an automobile accident knocked me out of the information services / technology field where I worked in Mountain View. Now, 10 years after the accident, I am still largely homebound but am continuing to persue my interest in lessening the isolation of people with disabilities.
I have been selling donated books online at Amazon, but I would like to
be able to find additional resources through ads on the website to continue to expand the grow to other features for the website.
Is there a banner / ad program that a semi-technical person such as myself which has some upfront costs but that would help me accomplish the above goals?
Thanks,
Lori Guidos
Executive Director
