Anything for Banner Campaigns?

I wanted to know if anything is available for banner campaigns.

I'm looking at a few different CMS packages for starting a review website. Drupal has a lot of what I want and need, however it seems to be lacking any sort of banner campaign management.

I also went thru and looked at the long list of modules, and while I saw a module for amazon affiliates and another module for google adsense, I didn't see any "generic" modules for banner campaigns? Only modules I saw was specific modules for advertising amazon or google.

Is there any sort of banner campaign management modules or features built into Drupal. That is the only thing that I really need, and can't seem to find in this CMS package. Otherwise Drupal has everything else I could want in it.

So if someone could please answer me about what support Drupal has for banner campaigns in it? or if there are any third party modules for Drupal around that support it?

... search for "banner"? There is a module for 4.6 and work is under way on a version for 4.7.

Or you could use a dedicated ad server. Personally I don't see much point in building ad server functionality into a CMS.

Actually...

Actually I have a module in developement called Simple Ads that should be able to accomodate banners in a block for payment. The only problem I have at this point is getting the payment working. After thats done, drupalers will be able to use Simple Ads to receive payments automatically from advertisers to let them upload and display ads (banners) of a admin defined size. Its really exciting I think. Its just the darn payment that is the stick in the mud.

I realize that this is not really related to what you were talking about but I just wanted to let you know that there might be an alternative to adsense pretty soon.
