Banner Ad Management, Tracking, And Rotating

Webmasters, please help me Im going insane!! Ive spent the last several hours adjusting ads on only 2 of my websites. i have found a great code(http://www.htmlbasix.com/banner.shtml)for rotating the ads but its very time consuming and I would like some management software to track CTR, and rotate the ads on my website. I finally found, Ad Peeps - banner rotator and text ad rotator software with geotargeting and Joomla compatible - and I think this may be what Im after I signed up for a free trail. Im not sure how much resource the software would take so I opt-in for the month account fee, about $10 per month for 500,000 impressions seems ok value.

Anyway, if anyone has any other suggestions please let me know!

I have checked out wordpress plugin Max Ads, but this does not allow ads to go after the header and before the content, even when I try to custom code it, it does not display correctly. I have also heard several reports that the script is heavy and drags down the server CPU.

Really would like to hear any more solutions, I do think Ad Peeps - banner rotator and text ad rotator software with geotargeting and Joomla compatible may be what im after but Im new to banner management.

    OpenX is the best solution we have found.

    We have run hundreds of thousands, probably even millions of impressions and the thing never even broke a sweat. It can be a pain in the ass to set up. There is a learning curve, but it does everything we need and after a little bit of getting used to, it rocks. Plus... It's free.

    Another vote for OpenX here. It will do everything you require - Geo targeting, rotating, tracking and yes, you can import your own banners. Either upload them to the server or link to them.

    I too can also recommend OpenX - a very robust and extensive setup.
