AdMentor.NET features

AdMentor FREE asp.net

MySQL is now supported. Look in the directory otherdatabases and you will find two table creation scripts, one for MySQL and one for SQL Server.
Please note that the binary release is compiled with ASP.NET 1.1 and therefore you/your host needs to have that installed. AdMentor.NET uses MyODBC to comminucate with MySQL database so that needs to be installed as well, if you want to use MySQL. Access and SQL Server are also supported as it was before, of course.

AdMentor lets you weight your banners - that is you can make some banners appear more often than other.
It supports multiple banner sizes/ad positions, by a construction we simply call ad positions.. Typically you create one ad position per physical advertising position on your page(s). You might have one position showing 468*60 banners, and another showing 88*31 buttons etc.
Zoning is also available ( that is you can target certain ads to only appear on certain pages or areas of your site etc ).
There is a HTML code generator which generates the ad code you should insert into your ASP/ASP.NET/HTML pages. Since plain HTML ( JavaScript/img) is used it is possible to serve banners to pages from another server, even use it from servers with no ASP.NET support at all. Of course the server where AdMentor.NET is installed will need ASP.NET.
And HTML banners is available as well, easily rotate all kind of banners (LinkExchange etc).
An Access-database or SQL Server database is used in the backend, storing ad positions, zones, banners, clicks and impressions.
Simple administration scripts and statistic pages are available as well.
If you sell ad space to customers they can login themselves to view reports on how their banners are performing.
