By all means, try it, but I don't know anyone who prefers banner ads (which people rarely interact with - they are more for branding/presence) over text-based ads - either contextually or otherwise.
I answered your PM, too.

Thanks Laura - lots of help there! So Openads will serve up the ads to your site - similar to how
Copeac manages affiliate programs? It would be awesome if I could insert the banner code onto my site as I can the affiliate banners (its how I had my admin banner section designed).
Hope thats the case - if so , CPM is much more towards what I was looking for - I feel pretty dumb I didn't even think of that sort of network during my design phase...
too focused on other things and just went w/ what I knew, aff and adsense!
