If you haven’t heard already – Google has quietly launched an invite-only Beta for their AdManager product.

This is incredibly exciting news. Everyone currently using other Ad management suites, including OpenX, will find themselves migrating to Google AdManager as soon as possible. I really support Open Source and have had great experiences using PHPads (OpenX), but when the Google Goliath makes a move like this… there really isn’t any way for other solutions to survive. This is an E.L.E. for those developments.

Check out the FAQ and Features list to find out more on how Google hosting, analytics and the other benefits of using Google AdManager is going to directly effect our online businesses.

And, before you do anything else today, GO SIGN UP FOR THE BETA AND TRY TO GET AN INVITE! (if you didn’t receive a private invite already).

Stumble it!
