Tags: I am very pleased to announce that, as of yesterday, over 10,000 publishers are using the latest Openads stable release (2.4). In the space of just 3 month we have reached this exciting milestone with publishers upgrading from the older releases and new publishers turning to Openads to manage their online advertising.
We’ve had some great feedback on the new release of Openads so far:
Danny - PunkRadioCast
Andy Beard - Niche Marketing
Andy is right, Openads is very powerful and we need to make it as simple as possible. We are working to improve usability and add other important features which you have been asking for. We’re already busily working on the next big release of Openads.
We’d like to send out our thanks to everyone for your continuing enthusiasm and interest in Openads. We promise to keep focused and bring you the best tools to help you make more money from online advertising.
I do realy like Openads since its earliest days as phpAdsNew. But I have also to admit that the last move was forced by a very brutal bug:
Over night my statistics in v240 with up to 750.000 impressions a business day counted each impression and click exponential times higher than correct. A fallback to an older database was not possible. The daily cronjob for mysqldump dumped a broken database since the last weekly cleanup of raw statistics by oa. A simple upgrade was not possible: v242 did not want the tables of v240 (a simple job I did at least 10 times in the past).
Now I have to use two installations to serve my clients with reports. One local with the datas before the crash and a virgin with new results after that. Both with a lack of a weekend and 3 business days.
Hope this was not just bad luck.
A good reason would be more calculabe.
Best regards, TJ
