Sample Testimonial
Thank you very much for your kind reply and attention to this challenge for me. My wife is a bit envious as she says that she could contact the toaster companies regarding her desire for modification of their products so they would fit her bread but would probably not get the same response you have provided for me. :)
I have it set up and it works for me very well. I think I am going to like this program.
Thank you so much for all your help. You guys are great. I imagine that usually you don't have to help someone with as little programming knowledge as I have and I appreciate your patience.

Periodically Auto-refreshing Banner Ads

With DynAds Pro, while your visitors are viewing your page, you can dynamically refresh banner ads or contents on the page periodically without refreshing the web page itself. The content refreshing process is done behind the scenes automatically. At every period you specified, such as 10 seconds, new ads are retrieved and displayed from the server.

The image below shows the controls for setting the periodic refreshing of a rotation in the Content Rotation sub-menu of the Code Generator menu of the admin panel.

Controls for periodic refreshing of ads
Periodic rotation setting

You can set the refresh period in terms of seconds. With some Access Methods you can also select the refreshing method. We recommend using the Dynamic Refresh via IFRAME method over the Dynamic Refresh via Cookies method.

A Java Script code is employed for the access methods JavaScript, IMG tag, and server side rotations. For other access methods, a meta refresh or http header refresh method is used.

The ad to be displayed is selected by the selection method you set in the code generator. For example, if you select a random selection method, then at every refresh, a random ad is selected among the active ads of the zone.

Instructions for periodically refreshing random banners

Assume that you are rotating banner ads randomly at the top of your web pages and you want to refresh the banners at every 10 seconds. Follow these instructions to perform the rotation.

  1. In the Ads menu of the admin panel, create an ad for each of your ads.
  2. Create campaigns in the Campaigns menu for the ads. It is your decision whether to include the ads into one campaign or several campaigns.
  3. In the Zones menu, create a zone for the rotation. Insert the campaigns created in the previous step into the zone.
  4. Go to the Code Generator > Content Rotation menu.
    1. Select the appropriate Access Method for the rotation.
    2. Select Uniform Random selection method.
    3. Enter 10 into the Refresh Period text box.
    4. Select the IFRAME refresh method if it is available on the page.
    5. Select other options as appropriate for the rotation.
    6. Click to the Generate Rotation Code button to obtain the rotation code.
  5. Copy and paste the rotation code to your page where the ad will appear.
At the first loading of the web page into the browser window, a random ad will be displayed. And afterwards, the banner will be refreshed from the server at every 10 seconds.
