Creating my own banner ads

(1/3) > >>

kathiemt:
Rather than using Google banner ads or similar, I want to create a series of my own for affiliate programs I belong to.

Do you know if there's any software out there that I can use to create my own banner ads?  I've got the ad management mod set up and working on my forum and I thought it would be good to have banner ads that specifically relate to the industry that my forum caters to.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

ApplianceJunk:
You don't need anything special to create banners. Any graphics program should work.

Here is one.

Also any affiliate should be able to provide you with banners.

kathiemt:
Sorry, I wasn't specific enough.

A script is what I'm looking for where I can add all the affiliate code and banners I've already got so they cycle in the ad manager in the header of my forum. So I've already got the images/banners - I'm looking for a script I can put them into, to create my own series of banner adverts for my forum.

ApplianceJunk:
If you use one of the ad mods and place different banners in the same location they will rotate with each page refresh.

Here is one mod we use that works that way.

This is the one we are currently using.

Or are you looking to have the ads rotate on there own with out having to refresh the page?

kathiemt:
I was hoping to have them rotate but refreshing each time is better than nothing.  I'll go explore those options you suggested. Thank you.
