Tags: We’re delighted today to issue a press release highlighting the dramatic growth and momentum that OpenX has experienced over the past several months.
Some of the key points we shared in the release were:
- A major update to a key metric: 300 billion ads served monthly through our software;
- A new number of websites being powered by OpenX publishers: 150,000;
- Major OpenX Hosted updates: 100% week over week growth in impressions flowing through Hosted; more than 1 billion impressions running through Hosted monthly; and
- Major OpenX Ad Server updates: more than 10,000 publishers actively using version 2.6 and running 25 billion impressions monthly through the downloadable software.
And the media and important folks in the blogosphere seem to be paying attention to this news and, importantly, understand what’s driving it. Here are just a few articles and posts you might want to check out:
More than anything else, this news is a testament to our vast and vibrant OpenX community and to your active involvement and participation in all that we’re doing.
We’re all working incredibly hard to provide useful and unique open source ad serving products, services and support. And we hope that by doing that, always with a keen focus on our core values of openness and neutrality, we’re truly helping publishers worldwide grow and get the best out of their online advertising efforts.
As ever, we’d love to hear from you, whether you’re completely satisfied (we’re always on the lookout for more testimonials), want to get more involved in the community, have questions, issues or new ideas.
Thanks for all of your help and support.
I think some of those articles make good points.
A contender to take on the mighty Google.
I myself have found good success with OpenX and for clients, I think they find it a unique and very strong platform to serve their advertising.
What would be nice to see is an article that really focuses on what OpenX can become. Unlike Google who offer great things and we eat them, OpenX is presenting change according to users and their desires.
I don’t think an advertising strategist like myself could easily give Google advice, but I can gain response within the OpenX community from my experience.

What I like about this report is that it says, implicitly, that there is room for more people to contribute to OpenX and monetize their work.
We at AdoptX.net are striving to contribute plugins and resources to OpenX that although not open source themselves will help to promote OpenX as a full featured and full serviced software.
Companies like Google, and AdTech do have API’s but… they are impossible to get at the inner code and sample data…. a huge barrier to entry.
It’s just really nice to know that there is a base of users who would appreciate and respond to services that we can offer.
