Revive Adserver

Revive Adserver is a fork of OpenX, a commercial ad server that was once open sourced.

This version continues the free work put into the original project and provides an open alternative to current OpenX versions.

If you haven't ever used an ad server, Revive will simplify the task of managing different ads on your websites, allowing you to control advertisers, their campaigns, and the current ad banners.

Once all the details of a banner and its subsequent ad campaign have been setup, the Revive Adserver will provide users with a simple iframe, PHP, or JavaScript code snippet to add to their sites.

For each campaign statistics are gathered, helping webmasters analyze and decide on what future ads will look like and if the current campaigns have reached their goal.

Various pricing models like CPA, CPM, CPC, and Tenancy are supported for the campaigns, along with various campaign types.

All in all, Revive successfully delivers a powerful product that will not only help webmasters monetize their sites, but also let them launch a (semi-)professional advertising network.

What is new in this release:

• We fixed an issue with Revive Adserver failing to connect correctly to the sync service, which advises users about upgrades to the product.

What is new in version 3.1.0:

• The domain used for the viewerId cookie is now configurable.
• The "My Account" main menu has been re-named to "Preferences" for clarity.

• The "midnight sync" process that checks for updates to Revive Adserver is now the very last thing to happen in the overall maintenance process.
• Blank impressions are now logged and taken into account during prioritization. This should allow using zones without remnant campaigns, which was previously discouraged. Blank impressions are also counted in the "Global History" and "Website & Zones" statistic screens and separately displayed in the "Campaign distribution" tab for websites and zones.
• The "Contract (Exclusive)" campaign type has been re-named to "Override".
• Added the ability to intentionally attempt to over deliver Contract campaigns by a given percentage of impressions against the predicted "ideal" to help ensure that Contract campaigns always meet their contracted delivery by their end date.
• The Revive Adserver delivery engine now includes a completely inclusive CORS header (i.e. ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *').

Requirements:

• PHP 5.3 or higher
• MySQL 4.1+, or PostgreSQL 8.1+
