How can I rotate ads in the ad space of my theme?

**robber** · 05-30-2011, 01:52 AM

Does it need to be weighted? if not you could load all your ads into a db, randomise on it, and then track the clicks out using an inbetween script which counts the clicks and then forwards the user onto wherever they are suppose to be ending up...

Would that work for you? If you are unsure on how to do this, just ask and I can give you the scripts which will do it for you, and the lines to insert into you .htaccess file (if you want the links to not show your out file link), putting them through a script means that it could allow you to put up multiple banners per sponsor on your site but only need to keep one link record for them (unless you are wanting to track which banners got clicked).

I'm not sure how best you would weight your search if you wanted to (i'm sure there is an easy way, but my minds blank)

Hope this helps anyway

Check out Smart Sports from the guys who did Smart Thumbs and Smart Tube

For $50 it's a steal! I use the script over many, many domains. One license is ok to cover all your sites.

Basically you create an ad spot in the script, and place that code on your site. Then when you want to add/subtract or change banners you just do it in one place in the script, which aslo gives you the amount of views, cliks and so on. Very nicely done.

www(dot)adzs(dot)nl
You enter your own html, host all of your own ads, but tracking like NO OTHER Program out there as we speak, you will know which ads are working the best by CPM, with viewable impressions clicks the whole 9 yards.

I have no idea what your talking about. I just want to rotate several ad codes without refreshing or atleast every refresh within the ad space of my theme.

Hi, if you're using Wordpress, I suggest the adrotate plugin. Works for me.

adpeeps works pretty good.
