== How To Place Rotating Ads On a Page ==

To place ads on your page use the following code. REPLACE: <tt>PUT_GROUP_HERE</tt> with the ad group name of the ads you wish to rotate
<tt><?php action('show_rotating_ad','PUT_GROUP_HERE');?></tt>

Or if you would like to display your ads on different sites that are not the Cash Crusader software package you can place this code: 


<code>
<iframe src=http://YOUR_DOMAIN/scripts/runner.php?IFRAME=1&GA=PUT_GROUP_HERE space=0 vspace=0 width=468 height=60 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=no>

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.YOUR_DOMAIN/scripts/runner.php?JS=1&GA=PUT_GROUP_HERE">

</script>

</iframe>
</code>


Replace YOUR_DOMAIN with YOUR domain name and adjust width and height options to desired values if needed.


If you want to just rotate URLs from one simple link, select the redirect option when creating the ad and you can rotate those URLs from this one link
<tt>http://YOUR_DOMAIN/scripts/runner.php?GA=PUT_GROUP_HERE</tt>

Replace YOUR_DOMAIN with YOUR domain name
