vb.org Archive - Miscellaneous Hacks - Rotating Banner System

No clue. But FWIW I used to notice the google ads not showing up in FF for me, and earlier today I was working near the footer adspace in Chrome and I noticed the same thing. I would have to refresh the page several times until one of my local banners came up.

So I don't have an answer, in fact I have worse news for you - I just tried your link in Firefox and the ad didn't show there either.

A possible clue though in IE. An ad shows, but it's not changing. It's stuck on a televisionfanatic.com ad. So maybe there's something wrong with the ad code.

I installed this and for the life of me I can't get any banners to show up.
inserted the code in the Advertising spot
I checked settings ->options and Advertising and all looks good but banners won't show up. I see there are two default google ads. Those wont even show up

I have this code in but nothing shows up

Thanks,

Repeat two times the same placehoder in a sequence and make sure you got at least 2 banners in the database. No 2 locations needed to show 2 banners on a single page.

How can I create a "Text only" banner (not Google related) where I can show some formated text (let's say a colored table) with some words, but keep it tracked and linked in the RBS?

I've tried adding the simple text, but it does not make hyperlink. Tried also adding html code hyperlink in the text area and works, but keeps no track.

Can you help me?

You need to format your text banner with valid HTML in order to to enable manually click tracking. The landing page must be defined as well and click tracking enabled.

XMas Bricolage: In order to see how it works, create an image banner with click tracking check its link and try to reproduce the same effect for your text banner.

I have also shown how to do this in this thread but at this point I cant' remember the post ID.

Where do you have the code placed?
Try unchecking flash in setup.

I'm using  in my AD locations I want it to show up. In the text box I use HTML to pull up ad's you might try a Adsense code in the text box.

It is kinda confusing at first but works really well when setup.
