I have been meaning to test out Marks ad hosting system so I decided to install it to give it a whirl. It took all of 5 minutes to set up as you need to provide some information about your blog (or site I guess).
Having tested Openads for ad management previously I was pleased with the simplicity of show your ads here. It is relatively easy to understand and implement. It allows you to manage ads spots on your site and also sell advertising from your site and via the marketplace.
The ad management is free to use and advertising sales are charged at 25 percent which is a lot lower than most ad brokers. You may want to use the free ad management part of the service to show and rotate affiliate ads.
The ads are hosted on the SYAH server so if that server goes down your ads will not show. However Mark has some appropriate hosting to serve all these ads so I'm not too worried.
Mark has also added an affiliate program into the mix that pays out 10 percent of all referred ad sales. If you refer someone who than buys an ad on one of the sites in the network then you get 10 percent of the sale revenue which is quite generous.
