How true Teri,

You do get what you pay for! The trouble with many of
the low-end solutions such as CentralAds and Ad
Juggler is that they don't offer good support, real
functionality or stability. If anyone is currently a
serious Web developer looking for an ad serving
solution, I would advise using one of these solutions.
