Open Source version of Adwords

    We are planning to create a local version of Adwords on a .edu network.

    Students will be able to promote activities or announcement by creating textual ads that are inserted in different pages on the school intranet (yes, intranet only). They have to bid on KW and student profiles that are matched to content/typical visitors on the pages of the campus site.

    We have the tools for matching and displaying the ads. But we are looking for something for processing the ads like Adwords does: create a campaign, enter ads in a particular format, verify ads pass different criteria (hmm... fraternities ads may be edited), bidding, storing and billing (paypal).

    Does anyone know an open source program that can do some of these things? We're planning to create a few of those things from scratch in Rails but I was surprised I could not find any open source program that does something like that. or at least partially.

    Any recommendation?

    PhpAdsNew can probably do what you want.
