Revive Adserver is the world's most popular free, open source ad serving system, written in PHP, that publishers install on their own servers. It lets them serve ads on their websites, manage campaigns from multiple advertisers and ad networks, and track and report on campaign performance including click-through rates.
Use cases
- serve ads on my websites from my own server
- manage ad campaigns from multiple advertisers and ad networks
- track ad impressions and click-through rates
- target ad delivery to specific users with delivery rules
- serve VAST2 video ads
- self-hosted alternative to Google Ad Manager
- manage zones and banners across multiple websites
- give advertisers access to their own campaign statistics
When to choose
- you are a publisher who wants full control over ad serving without per-impression fees
- you need to manage campaigns from multiple advertisers or ad networks in one interface
- you want geotargeting, delivery rules, and campaign reporting in a self-hosted tool
- you need VAST2-compliant video ad serving
- you are migrating from OpenX Source
When to avoid
- you want a fully managed ad platform without server maintenance (consider the paid Hosted edition instead)
- you need programmatic real-time bidding (RTB) or an ad exchange
- you cannot run a PHP web server with a database
- you expect to install directly from the GitHub zip file, which is not suitable for production
