Learn how to rotate your banner ads on your website with the Ad Rotator.
The following code should be inserted on each aspx page you would like the
ad to appear on:
<asp:AdRotator AdvertisementFile="banners.xml"
runat="server" target="_blank" />
Creating the Advertisement File
The advertisement file used by the AdRotator is a simple XML file that
should use the following format:
banners.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Advertisements>
<Ad>
<ImageUrl>Banners/Image1.gif</ImageUrl>
<NavigateUrl>http://www.websolutions4me.com</NavigateUrl>
<AlternateText>WebSolutions4Me</AlternateText>
<Impressions>3</Impressions>
<Keyword>Web</Keyword>
<Caption>Web Design and Development Company</Caption>
</Ad>
<Ad>
<ImageUrl>Banners/Image2.gif</ImageUrl>
<NavigateUrl>http://www.websolutions4success.com</NavigateUrl>
<AlternateText>WebSolutions4Success</AlternateText>
<Impressions>2</Impressions>
<Keyword>Web</Keyword>
<Caption>PortFolio</Caption>
</Ad>
</Advertisements>
The advertisement file consists of the following elements:
<Advertisements> This tag should surround all ads within
your file. This is called the root element.
<Ad> This tag contains all the attributes for a single ad
within your ad list.
<ImageUrl> The path of the image file that will be displayed.
<NavigateUrl> The URL that the image file will link to.
<AlternateText> The ALT text for the image. This will be
displayed when a user hovers over the image or if the image can not be
found.
<Keyword>
This is what the KeywordFilter property of the <asp:AdRotator> tag
searches
for when filtering ads to display on a page.
<Impressions> This property specifies
the relative number of times this ad compared to the
other ads.
