I'd be looking at 10 ads per page loads, simply because they're text links and many are small, like text-link-ads style.But i'd think that means 10 MySQL queries to find the ad content (stored in teh db) and then MySQL inserts to log the performance.Probably we'll stay with 2.0 also since msot folks seem to be using that, meaning it'll probably be more stable.One way to find out - guess I'll install it and go production with it and see what happens. :-)Have an awesome day!

Do you know if OpenAds can manage text ads as well? I was about to download it and try figuring this out as we'd like to track accurate performance metrics on all our rotating text ads. Those can be much more effective than banners. Now we're using a very basic random ad rotation PHP script.Thanks.Have an awesome day! Dan Hey Everton, thanks, this is a great idea.
