would like to rotate ads on a page

After using AdSense adverts on my site for the better part of a year, I'd like to do something similar with my own advertisements. I suppose I would use Javascript?

Is there somewhere a template I could use or adapt for this purpose? I envision a rectangle like the AdSense 180x150 pixel script. Over time, I would plant it on every page on my site. It would call up one of say five text or graphic advertisements in rotation.

Which five these were I would like to control myself, saying by uploading one.htm, two.htm, three.htm etc to my website. So when I wanted to replace one, I would just upload a revised *.htm file.

Does this make sense?

yes, but it would make more sense to have them in a database and use server-side processing! Wink

You can still offer a random ad using JavaScript, too, though.

I'm moving this to the right forum.

The code itself in PHP is real easy but you don't say if you want the items tracked or what not, if you do you need a database or flatfile (some hosts dont allow flatfile db's).

If you don't want to track them, for the actual random script you dont even need seperate pages, just one file and place all your text, image detail or whatever in there and then you just include that file into every page you want it in.
It can be as simple or as complex as you wish.
Try hotscripts.com for some as well

Thanks, I will look at hotscripts.

(No, I don't need tracking.)
