AdMentor ASP
AdMentor is a totally free ad rotator script written entirely in ASP. No binary components are needed on the server ( hosts tend to charge you extra for it, if they even allow it at all ) and no super-power database engine either - just a simple Access database is what you need.
The AdMentor project started with the simple goal to be an easy to use replacement for the Ad Rotator that comes free with IIS. Now ( especially beginning with version 2.0 ) it has become a pretty advanced piece of ad software.
It lets you weight your banners - that is you can make some banners appear more often than other. It supports multiple banner sizes, by a construction we ( somewhat falsely ) calls banner farms. Typically you create one banner farm per advertising position on your page. You might have one position showing 468*60 banners, and another showing 88*31 buttons etc.
Beginning with version 2.0 zoning is also available ( that is now you can target certain ads to only appear on certain pages etc ). New in version 2.0 is also the HTML generator and the possiblity to use it even from within static HTM pages ( located on totally different servers as well - with no access to ASP ).
And HTML banners is available as well, easy rotate all kind of banners ( LinkExchange etc ). A textrow under the banner is supported as well - and that text could refer to another url than the actual banner. Perfect for referring people to ad networks etc.
An Access-database is used in the backend, storing farms, banners, clicks and impressions.
Simple administration scripts and statistic pages are available as well.
And as I said - it is FREE! Sourcecode and database included.
