People can upload their own ads. 2. As the ad inventory owner, I can enter a free ad on my site. 3. You can sell your own inventory and the amount the network keeps is out in the open. I don't think there are any hosted networks that allow all of that. Unfortunately, phpAdsnew doesn't allow self service (1 above). I haven't looked at adbrite in depth, but I hear that is pretty good. In the beginning, blogads seemed to be selling the inventory in their network. But, I haven't had anyone buy my space in awhile. Maybe because we trash talked them? Or maybe they just aren't pushing it anymore? Who knows? There are a few things about blogads that I like.
