Advertising

[Harvey]

I had an advertiser approach me about putting animated ads on my site (728 x 90) but he's not comfortable using adsense.

Is there some way I could create a way to put not adsense ads into the rotation with ad sense?  Give him maybe 15% of impressions?

[Pedro]

Take a look here:
http://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=48182 at "Competitive ads and services". Do you think it might be an issue?

[Harvey]

I've got an advertiser that just wants to send me an ad (728x90) and just have it run.

I can't really eliminate adsense and only run one ad on my site.  So I was wondering if there was a way to add unit in, in rotation in the same spot.

On another point I see that adsense doesn't want ads in iframes. I wonder why. Hope I'm not in violation. Or the rest of nabble.

I've made a solution that shows randomly your ads or his ads. You have to put this piece of code in your show_custom_ads macro:

<n.if.equal value1="[n.random max='2'/]" value2="1">
	<then>your code</then>
	<else>his code</else>
</n.if.equal>

It probably shows 50% each ad. Let me know what do you think.

If I don't put his code in or remove it, adsense will run 100%?

Anyway to give him a set percent like 10%?

[Pedro]

If you keep your code like the way it is now, it shows 100% your ads. If you replace it with his ads, it would show 100% his ads.

To set him 10%, you could do like this:

    <n.if.equal value1="[n.random max='10'/]" value2="1">  
        <then>his code</then>  
        <else>your code</else>  
    </n.if.equal>

that is cool.

Can i show an animated gif ad?

what is the name of the macro?

Yes. Just upload it somewhere and use an img html tag.

"show_custom_ads".

[Harvey]

Pedro - if I upload it in my private forum will it display publicly?

This is what  I see in there. Do I remove the code for the small square?  It doesn't run in my forum any way.

[Pedro]

Could I see his Ad, I'll test it in my own forum first. You can upload his image or gif in a post inside your forum.

[Harvey]

Hope to have it tomorrow.

[Pedro]

The code would be like this below, but I would like to see it working on a test forum before.
