AdSense or Yahoo YPN on Joomla and Mambo
Joomla and Mambo are the coolest open source content management systems around now. Both of these systems comes with default component and module for banner management, however features provided by this component are very basic. The banner module shows the banners at the specific location configured from admin console. You can setup multiple banners and these banners (you can use it for AdSense or ypn ) are shown in rotation.
However with default banner module major deficiency is having more than one banner on the site. Its said that there is way to copy the banner module and be able to have more than one banner being displayed on site. Still its near impossible to specify particular AdSense or ypn ad at specific banner.
Other deficiency which I think is major one is inability to be able to place AdSense or yahoo yp ads in the content itself. Joomla or Mambo doesn’t have built in support for this. There are some open source mambots/component/modules available which help doing it. The Yahoo YPN mambot is very good for showing Yahoo YPN ads inside the content item. It has features to have ads shown on all content items or user can select manual placements.
