Reviews

February 7, 2017
I created AdMangler in order to give website owners the ability to control their own ad network for their site. AdMangler Pro is in the works and will allow you to sell and monetize the ads placed on your site along with many other exciting features. AdMangler Pro will be sold at $59.99 per domain and will also have lifetime updates for that domain. If you would like more information about AdMangler Pro or to pre-order AdMangler Pro contact us today. More information can be obtained at http://www.webternals.com
