Whaddya know? Google Ad Manager provide tool to manage your online ad sales and inventory.

Great to know that Google is now providing free ad manager just like having your own hosted open source ad manager (phpad). The service is still in beta and currently a free service to use. I'm hoping that they will offer this service free of charge after the beta stage. Here's a few words from Google Ad Manager.

Introducing third-party ads on the Google content network

The Google content network now accepts display ads served from qualified third-party vendors. Third-party ad serving has been a longstanding request from top brand AdWords advertisers who use third parties to create and manage their online campaigns. Initially, we will be only accepting third-party ads in English, but we hope to expand to other languages soon.

Making the Google content network more accessible to large brand advertisers also benefits AdSense publishers and end users. Third-party ad serving will introduce a greater variety of advertising into the Google content network, increase the inventory of quality display ads competing to show on AdSense publisher sites, and offer more engaging ads for end users. In the long run, we believe the increased inventory and ad competition will result in increased revenue for many AdSense publishers.
