Ad Management Software

Has anyone used Xigla Ad Management software? I realize there are simpler programs out there, but this one can link ads to keywords in search pages. I am just not sure how that will work with my Ning network. I am hoping I can do something where the ads that show up when someone is on the Search pages will be linked to the keywords used. Either in the right column, or even within the page itself if I can manage that. I do not have source code access. I you have tried something similar I'd love to hear about it.

afternoon, Jennie,

I'm wondering if you ever found some solutions re your question here. I'm curious about the same thing. Also, regarding CPM on posted ads...is that something you ever checked into as well?

thanks

Hi Bob, we ended up going with OpenX. It was free (open source) and my IT guys were able to install it to our in-house server. So far it's working well. I'm not really much of a developer, so I needed a lot of help to get this in place. If you are familiar with this stuff, you may find it very useful too. Visit http://www.openx.org/ad-server and you can see all the info, features and necessary stuff. If offers a lot of options for scheduling ads and tracking clicks, etc.

Hope this helps,
Jennie

I should also mention that I didn't get the kind of keyword search tie-in with the ads that I mentioned in my original question. We are doing pretty basic stuff with the ads right now.
