Hi DPiers.. I have submitted an application for beta testing the google admanager and finally got it approved. Admanager is a gift to the publishers as it has a lot of cool features... 1. A user friendly interface to Manage ad inventory with lot of useful options 2. Ad targeting - Country wise, resolution wise, age wise, language wise etc., 3. Integrating adsense etc., I will post more after my complete usage of it.. Regards, Jawahar Prasad www.expertsforge.com | www.spyware-software.net
It is google new service. You have to apply it It is here https://www.google.com/admanager/login/en_US/index.html I am still waiting for the invitation
I still have no clue about this ad manager. Is it about selling ad space on our sites, then why google doesnot like paid links.
1. Admanager is identifying advertising areas in our websites and creating ad slots. and paste the code in your site. 2. After creating ad slots, we will create the ad placements,targeting rules and then add affiliate ads/or other ads - CPM/CPC/CPD and assign them to the ad placements. after which the ad starts to server based on the priority of the ad. This is really good way to manage the ad inventory. This will also help you manage ads easily. It will also give the forecast of the impressions/clicks which ultimately can help us estimate the future earnings!!!! Isnt that gr8???
AdManager is just the advertisement slot manger/ad server and not a replacement of adsense. To explain more: 1. For example you have a leaderboard(728x90) space in the header and footer of your pages sitewide. <- This is an ad slot(Just an empty space where ads like adsense,adbrite,sponsor links can be placed) . 2. What we used to do before is, insert the adsense code or any other affiliate banner code in the adslot MANUALLY! If you want to insert adbrite code there instead of adsense code, we will edit the code and upload it right?? OR some people also use other PAID third party hosted ad servers/their own ad servers!. But, using admanager(its FREE) you can manage this ad slot online; add more advertisers including adsense,adbrite or other affiliate banners/links. So, the advantage is : admanager can rotate the adsense ads and other banners based on the priority & targeting, etc. It will predict and let us know how many impressions will be available, etc.,etc.,
Ahh, thanks, I see what you mean. Kind of like Adsense Deluxe for wordpress or something to that effect. Well, I applied, hopefully I'll be accepted!
It will definitely help! because 1. You can set how many times an ad can be displayed to a user... 2. *** I will test this and let you know if this feature is available*** Google link URL will be encrypted and if a user bombs it will not be valid!!! hope so
Just try and post your experiences here... Currently I am creating the adslots and placements in my sites.. and will soon be able to see the stats online!!!
I am currently using OpenX which is fine, but I signed up and was approved for the new Admanager and I was a little dissappointed. Not that it is not a good program, but things like everytime I enter an Ad, these "Flight Dates" are annoying. I can set it to display till 2028 or something, but what about for those programs that will always be displayed like my Adsense? I should not have to cap the date for certain ads. Also, I thought it would be easier to import my ads along with channels into the program into certain slots. I may be missing something, but I would love to use Admanger because I can use their delivery speed and their updates.
