The new Ad Manager service will provide the ad service free, said the Journal.

Google is hoping that Ad Manager users will agree to carry some ads Google sells in any vacant ad spots on their own Web sites, and Google would take a commission on revenue from any ads it sells, said the report.

A Google spokesperson was not immediately available.
