Open Source Advertising Network PHP Script

Free Ads Serving Software (aka AdBrite Clone, Adsense Clone, Clicksor Clone, or Kontera Clone)

Would you like to run your own advertisement network, like Adsense, Adbrite, Clicksor, etc? You can, actually. For many, the highest stumbling block will be the software platform for managing such advertisement networks. It will cost hundreds or thousands dollars to buy a decent script for managing ads-serving, and much more to build your own.

If you don’t mind make-do with whatever available functions and features, there are actually some good ads-serving software. Do check them out and see if it fits your need.

List of Free Ads-Serving Script
(All below are php scripts)

  1. Sponsorennetzwerk
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/sponsorennetzw/

    Advertising thousands of websites. Comprises tools for configuration. Webmaster and advertiser can watch their statistics. Export statistics as pdf or email. Manage webmaster, sponsors, advertising modules, layouts admin tools, email and pdf layout.

  2. OpenX Community
    http://www.openx.org/

    Open source ad server you can host yourself and build your own custom features on top of.

    OpenX is actually ad script for your own websites. However the script is so powerful, I believe you can tweak it to serve ads network.

  3. Adhere Mobile Ad Server
    http://adhere.citexsoftware.com/adhere-adserver

    Adhere Ad Server is a very powerful tool that specializes in serving ads for mobile advertising. Adhere is the first open-source ad server in the market.

    Adhere is initially built upon from OpenX for mobile advertising.

  4. VertEasy Advertisement Tracking
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/verteasy/

    VertEasy is an advertisement tracking and management web application written in PHP. Companies who have clients for which they conduct advertising campaigns, can allows their clients member’s to register and place their adverts quickly and easily.

Lastly, I’d like to mention Php Lemon’s Adbrite Clone. Surely, it’s not free. But for just $249, it is supporting almost every type of advertisement you can run, e.g. text-link ads, full page ads, peel ads, inline ads, splash ads, etc.

  1. Ads Network Script says:

    Nay… All of them are ads serving scripts, good for displaying adverts in your own site only. The nearest to ads network script is Sponsorennetzwerk, but still far from being usable. But the phplemon adbrite clone seems good. Should I or shouldn’t I purchase it? Sign…

  2. Fernando Hal says:

    Yup. If you have the budget, the phplemon solution seems pretty cool.

  3. One more mobile ads server build on top of latest version of OpenX in the recent times. Adhere was built on top of old version ie. Openads.
