Hi Guys

Can someone please explain to me - in details - what the Openx service does, and what are all the features it has?

It would be great also if someone can give me a link to a comprehensive video about the Openx services.


Thanks an Advance!

  • Free ad server and ad management tools for publishers | OpenX
  • Its an ad serving script however I would recommend using another open source script. I think the best "Open Source" ad serving script for your server that runs on PHP, MySql would have to be Orbit Open Ad Server which I have personal experience with.

    You can check it out here.

    • This is the first I've heard of Orbit. I was under the impression that there's no alternative to OpenX. I'm going to check out Orbit, but at first glance, the admin interface looks cluttered compared to OpenX.

  • Need to say it's quite awful platform, and besides now it's not free anymore...

    • That's wrong. OpenX is still free (It can be downloaded for free here). If you think it's an awful platform, I'd love to see any suggestions you have for a better free self-hosted ad serving platform.
  • I'd assume OP was talking about OpenX OnRamp. They terminated the service on Saturday,
    so that's actually true statement.

    • Okay, I see. I've always self-hosted OpenX.

      I'd still like to know about other free self-hosted OpenX alternatives, if anybody knows of any. KingMighty mentioned Orbit. Are there any others?

  • Yes, the admin is a bit cluttered but the advertisers side of it is spectacular : ) Perhaps I will make a video tutorial on it sometime
  • Epom is really an option for those who looking for OpenX alternative, they're free and afterall you get more features.
  • According to adserverplugins, OpenX Ad Server is an ad server, created and published by the British-American company OpenX.org. It is a system that can be used to manage and optimize the advertising space on one or more websites. It is a tool for web site owners (called 'publishers' in the online advertising industry), but also for organizations running their own ad network.
  • Yes I was wondering about OpenX myself... good info I've found here - thanks!

  • I've been using OpenX for some time, and it seems it has been hacked and is about to be terminating the services. Is it true? And what could be a good alternative?
