   I am working on looking for something that will allow me to put ads in my site that change per page load or change during the page (example: http://macthemes2.net/forum/) I am in need of putting them on my site, but i dont want ads everywhere, I will be selling these ad spots, and I DO NOT want to use Google Adsense. Anyone know any code or help with this issue? Thanks in advance!

   Try a random or rotating ad plugin (there are several to choose from):

   Try a Google search for randomizing or rotating ads for WordPress. Code to display random images or quotes could also be adapted to show ads.

   I am using this and I am happy with it (WP2.7.1) it's not a plugin.

   Found a description here:
   http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Creating-a-file-based-AD-rotator-script/24458

   Save your ad's (images, jpg's) in a folder on your server. Use Wordpad to make a file called adlist.txt .
   Example:
   

   <a target="_blank" href="http://2x2noppennieuws.nl"><img src="http://www.enduro.nl/sponsorpagina/logos/2x2nop.jpg" alt="2x2 NOPPENNIEUWS" border="0" /></a>
   <a target="_blank" href="http://www.andremotors.nl"><img border="0" src="http://www.enduro.nl/sponsorpagina/logos/ANDRE_MOTORS.jpg" alt="" /></a>

   Every ad gets one line; no line-breaks!!

   Save the follwing code as microADRotator.php in your theme folder:

   <?php
   // Function to display random ads from a list
   function showRandomAD($ADnumber = 1){
   // Loading the ad list into an array
   $adList = file('/var/www/vhosts/enduro.nl/httpdocs/sponsorpagina/logos/adlist.txt');
   
   // Check the total number of ads
   $numberOfADs = sizeof($adList);
   
   // Initialize the random generator
   list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
   srand((float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000));
   
   // Initialize the ads counter
   $adCount = 0;
   
   // Loop to display the requeste number of ads
   while ($adCount++ < $ADnumber) {
   // Generate random ad id
   $actAD = rand(0, $numberOfADs-1);
   // Display the above generated ad from the array
   echo $adList[$actAD].'';
   }
   }
   ?>

   Change line 5 to your situation, calling the adlist.txt

   Ad this to the very top of for example your rightsidebar:
   <?php require_once('microADRotator.php');?>
   Next put this in for example your rightsidebar, there where you want the ad (s) to appear. Change the number after showRandomAD to show 1 or 2 ad's etc:
   

   <div id="adrotator">
       <?php showRandomAD(6); ?>
   </div>
