Search Engine Roundtable AdsI basically have two ad positions on the Search Engine Roundtable site. The ad units look like what you see in the top right picture here.

Ever since day one, I set up each ad to run in the same position. So on every page refresh, ad box 1 would have the same banner in it, every time. It wasn't really fair to my advertisers. One would have a top right ad, while another would have an ad in the bottom left (possibly under the fold). So finally, I set it up to rotate the ads randomly.

Using OpenAds, it is easy to configure.

(1) Set one on single zone.
(2) Link all the banners you want to see in that zone, to the zone you set up above.
(3) On the "Invocation code" section of that zone, select "Yes" for both "Don't show the banner again on the same page" and "Don't show a banner from the same campaign again on the same page."
(4) Select the JavaScript code from that page.
(5) Copy and paste that JavaScript code for each ad spot on that page. In my case above, I inserted the same ad code six times.

Now all my advertisers get a fair shot and the premium - premium spot. Plus, I never have to rebuild the site for those premium ads.
