I only wonder, because I did a post concerning KillSpills and the KillSpills banner appears constantly at the top!

Very impressive!

May I ask what the system is please?

Thanks! Very Happy

It's the Google Adwords system - as used on many good websites (and some really bad ones too Smile)

Haha, the banner at the top right now says on this thread "The answer to your question is yes"

I'm familiar(ish) with Google Adwords. Used them at work to publicise our sites. But how on earth do you adapt it to run an internal banner system??

I'd appreciate the info! Very Happy

Thanks in advance Smile

BCF runs its own banner serving scripts, the Google ads are just the default banners. I don't think Adwords can be adapted to do internal ad serving, sorry.

Arse! Sad Laughing

Thought I'd stumbled across a decent, open source, targetted banner system for a minute there! I was getting all excited! Sad Rolling Eyes Laughing
