Thanks for that suggestion - I like it :-)

So any thoughts on the counter side of things?  Is it a bad idea to have  
say a table like this:

Table Name: Banner
Columns: banner_id, banner_desc, banner_impressions, banner_clicks,  
image_url, click_url

Then lock and increment the banner_impressions or banner_clicks depending  
on the action?  Does that create a bottleneck?

Or am I better using a separate table, inserting a row for each click /  
impression, and totalling them up as a separate job?

Andrew.
