Or you could check out CF_adbanner in the Developers' Exchange. I just
installed it on my server, and it's a great custom tag. The author set it
up as shareware, with a $10.00 reg. fee if you use it. I'll be sending in
my $10.00 for sure. It's got an Access DB on the back end which holds all
the paths to the files, the URLs for the ads, and the impressions and
click-thrus for each banner. You can create different categories to pull
ads from, and the tag pulls a random ad from the category specified. Quite
nice, and almost completely plug-n-play. I had it up and running in like 40
minutes.
