If you direct your questions to [email protected] he can explain you in detail what you need to know..

I will try to find what we use

any opinion on advertpro?

overpriced and just plain ridiculous

OpenX is good for a very huge network and/or very huge amount of traffic but it's a real pain in the ass to configure...

Smart Spot is very good !

Wouldn't it be more better for him/her to explain here? I'm sure others would want to know as well. And who know, it might lead to a few more sales of Smart-Spots becouse of this useful info!

He has his own forum and guess what? This exact question with a few jumbled letters has already been asked there about 50 times.

Isn't the blog closed to non-clients?

It's free to get an account and it takes less than a minute to sign up. I don't see the problem, besides, with those scripts they have, it's likely that you are or have been a customer or user already.

You know, I keep hearing all of these horror stories about OpenX. And while any software has bugs and requires patches, I've never had a single issue with it (even back when it was phpads, then phpads new).

To this day we deliver millions of banner impressions per month to our clients, and not so much as a hiccup.

Having said that, I understand there have been vulnerabilities. But I am betting the bulk of those affected probably do not apply patches the same day they are released, or have not effectively locked down their installation. I'll bet most do not even do so much as restrict access to the admin by IP or even simpler, use something as basic as an htaccess file to disable PHP execution in the uploads folder. Certainly a lot of software hardening is undocumented, but I think its imperative that anyone relying on third party software understand, or hire someone who does understand, how to implement some proactive, preventative measures.

Nobody is going to touch this? Fine....

Get a "free" version of anything... You are now a client.

I did. The forum I see 3 Smart Thumbs forums, no Smart Spots forum!
