    We've been using Google Ad Manager here and we like it. It certainly has better AdSense integration that OpenX does.

    I use OpenX for personal sites, so I'm more accustomed to OpenX's work flow and it's been a bit tough for me for Google Ad Manager, but overall we've been happy with it.

    With Google's new Media Planner, the Ad Manager will become even more of a necessity for advertising.

    Hi, sorry to ask, but in here where? DP? :confused:

    Another question before i open a new thread about this: does anyone know how to track a sale in Ad Manager?

    Let's say i develop a banner, give the code to be placed in a forum like this one, and i want to know wherever a visitors leaves the forum, enters my site, and clicks on "buy now" button.

    Is it possible to track this action of a visitors click in a specific link/button in my site? Not entering the site, but the action of clicking in a specific link?

    Ah, ok. Thanks for those infos. Just today i received a mail from Google with some updates on Ad Manager so, i just have to wait for that to come up i guess. Can it be done in Analytics?

    I'm sure it will be possible soon, I just don't think it's possible quite yet.

    If you move all your services to google, then one day you get suspended... you really are screwed! Don't keep all your eggs in one basket!

    Sohan is dead on with this one. not only that, but I don't like having one company manage and have all that information, it's a security risk to begin with.

    I got it but I don't use it. Not only for the reason sohan and fsmedia mentioned but mainly due to lack of time to organize it to my needs.

    My only problem is that I feel bad I may have taken an invitation from someone who would really use it right now :p
