A couple days ago Google announced that Google Ad Manager’s availability to all.

Ad Manager can help you sell, schedule, deliver, and measure both directly-sold and network-based inventory. It offers an intuitive and simple user interface, Google serving speed and reliability, and significant cost savings. Best of all, Ad Manager can be optionally integrated with Google AdSense to offer you an automated way to maximize the revenue of your unsold and network-managed inventory.

Head on over to read the full details of the announcement, but what I highly recommend is logging in to your account to check it out for yourself. All that is required is an Adsense account to gain access to Google Ad Manager. Like most Google products (all?) Google Ad Manager is free.

I’m in the process of migrating most of my forums over to the platform now; however, with that said I doubt I will ever replace OIOpublisher as this blog’s ad management system because I love how it works now.

Has anyone spent a lot of time using the ad management system yet? What are your thoughts? I’ll write a follow up post once I’ve used it more extensively but I was really excited about this program and am happy to see it’s open to all now.
