I am a big fan of OpenX. You can download OpenX here. OpenX is a script that is open source software (meaning free to use). A script is a program that sits on your server and runs from there you can access it through any web browser.

OpenX was initially designed to be a resource for someone with mutliple websites who is selling the space on those sites to multiple advertisers. It is not a selling site like adbrite but just a hosting and serving place.

With OpenX I set each of my sites up as a “publisher” and then each Sponsor as an Advertiser. The ads in the sidebars to the right are served with OpenX and wil change each time the page rotates. I also use OpenX to serve up NF buttons, Featured Pics and more -it is much easier once you are used to it than using a banner rotator.

The best part about OpenX is you can track impressions and clicks - so each day I can see how many times any various banner or text ad was served and how many times they got clicked. If I am running two banners in the same spot and each is served up 1000 times and one is clicked 200 times and one only 2 times I know to change out that banner!

The greatest thing is - now that I have decided to change a banner, I only need to swap it out once on my openx server and it changes on every site I have it on!

OpenX is magic for monetizing and making $$ from your blog!!!

Sextronics has tons of great site to promote - even cartoon games! And they have LOTS of great graphics so you can try various banners. I promote Party Girls Flashing and Drunk Girls Flashing on a blog I have. There are great banners for each site - so I have about 6 for each loaded in OpenX, each time they load the impression is recorded and then each click is recorded. By doing this I am able to narrow down which gets the most clicks and ultimately sales!
