Mogado AD Serving Platform
Mogado is a developer of an AD serving platform. Its AD serving platform allows customers to create its own special ad networks and start an ad network business.

Customers can create ad networks similar to AdWords/AdSense, AdBrite etc. Ad networks can be payment-based where advertisers pay for inventory and the pay is split between the ad network operator (our customer) and the inventory owners (web site owners). Another form is exchange-based ad networks. Inventory owners (web site owners) dedicate part of inventory to the exchange ad network, in exchange for their own ads to be published by other web sites participating in the same ad network.

Customers can also use Mogado AD serving platform to manage a pool of ads and advertisers, for serving on one or several of their web sites. This type of use is typical for those companies that operate several web sites and sell the inventory also directly to advertisers. Mogado AD serving capabilities in this kind of scenario are similar to OpenX ad server, and are available free of charge.
