Ajay » It’s 25% for them, which I think is pretty fair for a hosted solution.

BTW, what is the revenue sharing scheme of BSA?

I think OIO is a good choice. I tried performancing ads and well, it’s partly that I don’t run a super big site!

But, like you, I still need to implement it on my blogs. I have it running on both of them, but, am still too tied down to work on prices and stuff.

Count me in! Sounds like an excellent deal, if you ask me!

@nathan, sorry for requiring the registration at BSA, from your comment I’ve added a feature enhancement idea for allowing people to buy without needing to register and we would just create an account/password automatically for them.

@ozh, I think you should charge more than $5, you’ve got a great blog! To kick things off I’ll buy an ad ;)

To remove the default “advertise here” box and replace with your own, you can set the JS variable “ShowAdHere” to false.

To customize the CSS, you can edit the css styles (in the JS ad code) that are contained in the styles array. For example, you can add “float:left;” to the A element in the styles array and the ads will tile horizontally and not break they layout once you have two ads.

Hope this helps!

Nathan » Yeah, I already bought it like 6 months ago. Never took some time to implement it in my blog :)

I recently worked with this plugin:
http://www.oiopublisher.com/
and was very happy with the results. It’s $47 but IMO it’s well worth the money if you plan on automatic ad sales.

Nathan » Indeed, you’re making a point there. I was also expecting more customization options like a custom “advertise here” place holder or, more importantly, being able to fine tune the ads CSS (I’m expecting layout breakage when 2 ads are displayed on the same row:)
I guess that’s partly why they are still in beta :)
