# Static ads plugin question

 * Hi. I’m totally new to using an ad plugin and am trying to figure out of Advanced
   Ads is the right plugin. Currently, I simply have some PHP code / shortcode that
   I wrote that randomizes an add to show. However, this is not scalable as it all
   by hand and “dumb”.
 * I’m wondering if Advanced Ads can let me:
    – create sets of static images – create
   ad groups to use those groups of static images – a/b test the static images from
   the groups to see what works best
 * All the ads are for products I sell on my site, so I don’t need any kind of other
   ad network. I just want static ads to link to my shopify store – dead simple.
   Is Advanced Ads the right tool?

 * Hi dbonneville,
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * Advanced Ads offers several ad types. For your case, the image ad type would 
   be the best choice. You can create as many ad units as you want.
 * You can assign each single ad unit to placements or add them to groups and send
   those groups to your placements. Advanced Ads offers multiple [options to rotate ads](https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/rotate-ad/).
   See more explanations of the [ad groups in our manual](https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/ad-groups/),
   please.
 * I recommend using the random rotation mode to configure an A/B test with the 
   images of the same group. I also use this kind of a-b-tests on my websites to
   determine which picture ads perform best. All you need is the [Tracking add-on](https://wpadvancedads.com/add-ons/tracking/),
   which records the clicks and impressions for each ad and shows you the CTR values
   for each ad.
 * I prefer to run the ads until there is a significant number of impressions for
   each ad. Then, I compare the performance and remove those displays whose performance
   is not good enough.
 * Best regards,
    Joachim
