I’ve installed this on my wordpress MU and the problem is that I cannot change ads per MU site. So basically, I want to be able to control ad channel, colors, size etc. etc. for each site. Each MU site having different ads.
Installed the regular version and the MU version and both of them seem to do the exact same thing. I put the ad code in and it shows up across all blogs… the same ads. That’s not what I’m looking for as each MU site has different templates, colors, design, etc… not to mention different Niche.
Thanks a bunch for this great product. Please let me know how this can be resolved. Thanks!

@Sushi Supplies, – I see your problem, but I’m afraid you can’t use this plugin if you want individual ads for each blog. The plugin will give the same ads all across the network when using WPMU because it was created to be used on a site with thousands of blogs, and I figured it then would be bad to use individual ads for every blog.
The only difference between the MU-version and the standard Wordpress version is the possibillity to remove ads from the main blog in WPMU.
The plugin could absolutely be a bit improved, but for now (as WPMU no longer will be developed) I will not create any new version. I guess I’ll be waiting for Wordpress to have the mu-features before I do anything with the advertisement management plugin.
