This is a review entirely because I liked the software – I was not paid a dime for it.
I’ll admit – I was skeptical about OIO Publisher, as ad spots tend to sell well on TUK – although I heard it was better as it saved you time, I had plenty of time so that was not an issue. So skeptical was I that I told Max (at Moneybites) I was not going to pay a cent for it and even turned down a free copy a couple times; anyways, he eventually convinced me to have a go, and although (like everything 
) I found it confusing to setup, the support was immense.
My results from OIO are this:
Expenses:
Nothing (received free)
Revenues:
One 125 x 125 sold – $35
Two links sold – $20
Although that is not an amazing sum by any means, this was made in the 24 hours after I put it up – without me having to do a single bit of work. Meaning that even if I had paid for it, I would have made my money back the same day, and a little bit more on top.
This is not the only success story – Max at Money Bites saw 4 ad slots go sold the day after he put up the plugin, and so did a few others (you can check out their squeeze page). I guess some advertisers just can’t be bothered to email, and would prefer having their link put up near instantly after payment.
I do not think OIO Publisher is needed for small blogs - you will not be selling ad space on them anytime soon. However, for medium-large ones, they help, as shown in the real life example above.
Although the interface takes time getting used to, it is fairly easy to use and as I mentioned, support is sweet; they also have a fairly decent affiliate program that pays 50% ($18.5/sale).
You can buy OIO here. It is well worth the $37.00, I feel

Awesome. I’d seen this plugin being used, but after reading their sales letter, and it being only $15 on DealDotCom.com I just had to have it. Should be very useful with a couple of projects I’m launching soon.

TUK,
Found my way here through livingonadsense.com via bloggernoob.com (internetwork = a beautiful thing). I got encouraged to take a stab at blogging because I love to write and my buddies remain amused by my (coherent) ramblings. I’m working out the logistics but anticipate launching my blogsite very soon. It won’t be of the “make-money” motif yet padding my wallet with some money for lunch and movies will be sweet.
I appreciate entrepreneurship in every sense of the word, and The University Kid reinforces that high regard. Just dropping a line to give props where props are due, and I wish you enduring success! PEACE

I am so tempted to purchase this, but my blogs are small, so I’m not sure I’d be making much money on them. I guess if I could just get the money back that I spend on it it would probably be worth it though. Hrm… decisions decisions.
