OpenX and Keeping track of ads

[Marek]

I use OpenX to display the ads on my site, the ads are mostly just banners from CJ.
If the ad doesn't perform I delete it, but I was wondering if there's a better way to keep track of what worked and what didn't, so over the long term I don't accidentally run the same bad ad twice.
My question is how do you guys keep track of the stuff you run?

affmeter?

I think I'll just plug the data into a spreadsheet

Time honored tradition - you can't go wrong.

Can't you just disable the ads instead of deleting them, or expire them. This way you'd at least know what you ran before. I also name the banners with what they are (name_size), etc . .

Good luck.

The only other option is to unlink them from the zone but they'll still show up as active so it gets messy if you have a lot of ads.
