This code will
rotate 3 ads at the top of this page randomly as
the page is refreshed. If the same ad keeps
showing, refresh again.
How To:
You will
need three files (not including your ad images) to
program this feature:
1. adrot.txt
2. This page: adrotator.asp
3. A page to send the user to the URL of the ad:
adredir.asp
adrot.txt
This text
file contains the pertinent information on the ad
graphic location, the redirection page, image size
and graphic relevance. What is this last feature?
When you assign a number to an add, it gives it
the same, less, or more relevance to other ads.
For example, if I set ad 3 to 2, it will get more
viewings than the other two. NOTE: This is a
random rotator. It does not specify and order to
the ad viewings.
Here is the
text for adrot.txt:
adrotator.asp
This ASP
page simply calls the Adrotator Object that is
part of the server objects collection of IIS.
Place these lines of code in the HTML code where
you want the ad to be displayed:
<% Set Ad =
Server.CreateObject("MSWC.Adrotator")
Response.Write(Ad.GetAdvertisement("adrot.txt"))
%>
adredir.asp
This page
simply grabs the URL from the query string passed
to it when the user clicks on the ad and redirects
the browser to that page. Here is the code:
<%
Response.Redirect Request.QueryString("URL")
%>
