Very powerful

I was quite amazed how much this module is capable of — it far exceeded my expectations. It's well written code by a veteran who frequents the issue queues regularly and is quick to squash bugs.

It would have scored a 5 for features, only I don't like the way loading the ads delays rendering of the page. It was easy enough to patch it to use jQuery to load the ads after page rendering though.

However, I struck a serious problem when I used the Devel module to generate content and it added ads and ad categories which broke things in mysterious ways.

Overall, a very useful module for a commercial site.

Switched from custom code to ad module

I found and installed the Ad module after using custom php to display my ads. This has a lot of great features, including a number of different ways to display the ads, either a flash ad, a standard banner, a text ad etc. I'm currently using 3 different sized banners which are rotating.

I'm also using the text ads for peoples profiles, not really ads but I like the stats gathered by the module.
