Is there any module that allows for banner ads that tracks clicks and auto-deletes the ad after a specified time? There are a multitude of these for Wordpress-just wondering if there is something similar for this program.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is not a module like that for 68C. At least not that I'm aware of.

I personally use OpenX (opensource ad server) for all of my sites including my Wordpress blog. It does exactly what you are talking about and much more including being able to serve to multiple web sites, default ad images when no paid ads are available, statistics and multiple account management for a multitude of levels.

The only bad thing is that of course it doesn't collect or track money, because it's an adserver. I simply set up a display advertising page with my rates, zones, sizes, etc. add in PayPal buttons to collect. It's not automated, but honestly, how often do you actually make a display advertising sale?

Oh, and often overlooked you can paste in affiliations code as an ad on the ad server as well as Google ads code.

Thank you! I think this will work quite nicely. I appreciate the fast response.
