Google Ad Manager

Do you want to make money with internet marketing? Then start using Google Ad Manager.

What is Google Ad Manager?

Google Ad Manager is a free ad serving platform. Shoemoney uses it, Darren Rowse uses it and many other internet marketers. I have been using OpenAds (Now OpenX) on some projects, but it is now time to switch to Ad Manager. I am going to place some ads on my 51grand blog.

Ad Manager benefits for bloggers and marketers

Imagine you need to manage ads for several blogs, adsense sites and forums. It becomes freaking hard to align all the dates, ad spots and then manually upload ads, contact  advertisers, manage billing and so on. With Google Ad Manager you can do all this very easy and for free.

Why use Ad Manager?

• You can display, track and get reports for all your affiliate ads at one place,
• you can manage private ad sales (CPM, CPC, CPD models),
• complete AdSense integration,
• you can use it on multiple sites,
• free to use and hosted on Google.

This means no server costs, no maintainance, less work and a complete ad serving solution for all of your websites.
