The Advertising System extends your concrete5 core install to give you everything needed to manage your own banner ad program. An administration area lets you setup and track ads, while a new block lets you easily place any size ad you want in any block area.

Dashboard:

• Upload GIF, PNG, JPG, or SWF files to serve your own ad.
• Link to external images or embed javascript for integration with 3rd party ad systems.
• Create & manage groups, put ads in multiple groups.
• Set target impressions and click-through counts to change balance in random ad pulls from a group.
• See real time counts of impressions and click-throughs
• Please note that links embedded in Flash-based ads are not tracked at this time.

Block:

• Place an ad on the fly, still get the reporting in dashboard.
• Pick a group to pull ads from, display a fixed number, and randomly fill slots using target counts for weighting.
• Can be added to any specific page, or to a Page Type's Defaults to appear everywhere.
