BEWARE: Performance has taken a nosedive since I upgraded from PhpAdsNew. The database used to be simple, and I think the addition of channels, agencies, and other muck has just fouled things up. I'm really sorry I upgraded.

I just took a look at OpenAds.. I actually followed the link from their testimonial page..

Looks good but setting it up might be a little daunting for someone who is a beginner at server related things (ssh, cronjobs, etc). I'm definitely reading up on it though cause it looks great.

Thanks for the information. I agree with you that all can be done manually by using a suitable theme. I just found one which allows me to do what I want. The theme is Smashing Theme.

Ginn ... that was not my link, not an affiliate link ... the getsemiologic link is the Semiologic Pro sales page ...

The link you posted is the standard semiologic package which is pretty well optimized from a search engine optimization perspective but without all of the bells and whistles of the pro package ...

You can certainly do it yourself manually ....

Thanks for the link but $295 for someone just starting to blog like me is a bit overkill. However, I'll definitely consider it once I've gotten more serious into blogging because it looks really powerful and customizable. How about this link?

Greg, do you mean Semiologic Pro theme? Can you provide the link?

I did a search here on Andy's site and could not find an affiliate link of his - you might ask him for one (I believe you should support those who feed you) ...

If he does not have one, you can go directly to www.GetSemiologic.com ...

I'm looking for a plugin which allows me to place ads in only the index page, in individual pages minus index page and certain or all individual posts. Ad rotation feature is a bonus. Any recommendation?

Gin ...

The current version of semiologic allows you to do all four of the ad features you are talking about ... it is not intuitive at first, but very powerful once you figure out how to combine what it calls "ad units" and "ad distribution" ...

The next release which is in alpha testing provides even more fine granular control with a new advertising management system included ... I am playing with the new system on a couple of test sites now, and it gives me a level of control that I will be moving 39 heavy advertising sites to it as soon as it is a full release canidate ...

Greg that would really need to be fully part of OpenAds

Ginn most of that can be done with theme tweaks either using different custom themes or a little programming logic.

I don't know of any plugin which would give you the exact results you are looking at. The Semiologic Pro theme has an advertising manager that I think allows you to control zones, but I am not sure it has enough logic functions for what you require. You would still need the theme tweaks.

I love the Openads server and have been using it through various versions and name changes ... what I am really looking for is a plugin that is going to allow us to take payments for online orders and renewals from clients. Thoughts?

Hi Andy,

Found you trying to find someone blogging about performance issues related to Openads.
I'm a Buddhist monk blogging about Buddhism.
I have installed Openads after hearing about it from problogger. But, the performance seems to be a big issue! Maybe I have something configured wrongly?

I'd be very interested in seeing videos on how to leverage the various features. Is this something you can do???? please please pretty please :)
