vb.org Archive - Miscellaneous Hacks - Rotating Banner System

Hi

Is there anyway to display all the banners on one page? So say 10 banners list down a page with a space inbetween for example?

For example

Banner 1

Bannner2

Banner3

Banner4

Any ideas if this is possible with a tweek maybe?

Thanks

A while back, in the context of counting impressions and clicks, I reminded everyone that banner ads are practically useless to sponsors. While most of us old timers know this and understand it, I saw a very interesting article today that reinforces the concept of "banner blindness". Ignore this and keep counting at your peril.

Hi,
My site is here

I have added a banner today. It's the 2nd from the top to the left.
If i click on it after the movie is over (it's without loop), it opens the landing pgae.
If i click on it before the movie is over , it opens the landing page + the swf itself!!
why ??

PHP Code:


		
			
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,2,0,0" border="0" width="150" height="75"><param name="movie" value="http://www.s-maof.com/Forum/rbs_wrapper.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="banner=http://s-maof.com/LandingPages/options/exc150x75.swf&amp;jlink=http://www.s-maof.com/Forum/rbs_banner.php?id=16&amp;userid=5&amp;bwidth=150&amp;bheight=75"><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.s-maof.com/Forum/rbs_wrapper.swf" flashvars="banner=http://s-maof.com/LandingPages/options/exc150x75.swf&amp;jlink=http://www.s-maof.com/Forum/rbs_banner.php?id=16&amp;userid=5&amp;bwidth=150&amp;bheight=75" loop="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/get/flashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150" height="75"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object>

The wrapper does nothing to the banner, it just loads and shows it in a private container. It has proven to work with a large number of banners, but not literally all. There are always masters who break any best rule :p

<!--@vbbanners:0--><br />

<!--@vbbanners:0--><br />

Where N is the number of the banners you want to show at once. Of course, you need that number of banners on that location, too :)

I did not understand this part, may explain it a little more?

thanks

The more banners you have for your pages, the more they are split. Say you have 1 page and 100 banners, so each banner will randomly show about every 100th page view and thus count each 1 for 100 page views.

With 10 banners and 1 page each banner will randomly show about every 10th page view and thus count each 10 for 100 page views.

With 1 banner and 1 page the banner will randomly show every page view and thus count each 100 for 100 page views.

Now: with 50 banners and 2.000 pages, how many impressions will each banner have for 1.000.000 page views? :D (sorry, I made it a little more challenging)

didn't quite get the answer. What are you saying? that there is no solution for this problem? my users will have to get the landing AND the enlarge banner when they click on the SWF through 'Rotation banner system'?
