If you have many ads or affiliate banners and you want to rotate them on your website, here is the way on how to do it. But make sure your server supports PHP because we are using PHP script here.
First, you need to create a blank PHP file and name it as rotateads.php. Then copy this code and paste it in.
<?php
$bannerCounter = 1;
$bannerCode[$bannerCounter] = ‘replace with your ad code‘;
$bannerCounter++;
$bannerCode[$bannerCounter] = ‘replace with your ad code‘;
$bannerCounter++;
$bannerAdTotals = $bannerCounter - 1;
if($bannerAdTotals>1)
{
mt_srand((double)microtime() * 1234567);
$bannerPicked = mt_rand(1, $bannerAdTotals);
}
else
{
$bannerPicked = 1;
}
$bannerAd = $bannerCode[$bannerPicked];
echo $bannerAd;
?>
As you can see at the above code, you need to replace “replace with your ad code ” with your own ad or banner code. If you want to put more ad in the rotation, just add these two more lines
$bannerCode[$bannerCounter] = ‘replace with your ad code‘;
$bannerCounter++;
below the previous one.
To include the rotateads.php in your theme file, you need to call this function. I assume you have uploaded the file in your root folder.
<?php include(”/home/yourname/public_html/rotateads.php”); ?>
Make sure to put real path to your website or it might not work. I was trying using the link (www.cypherhackz.net/rotateads.php) but it does not work on my new server. But when I use the real path, it is working without any problem.

can we use Google adsense code?
I was using the same trick but it does not increase your CTR. so better if you put your adsense just like that. no need to rotate it.
Hi, this is unrelated, you may remove this comment after reading it.
You introduce ImageFly on your site a year ago and I joined the program through your referal. It was good at the begining but I have prolem when I request my payment from them.
I was then joined another program called PicsPay, a similar program like them ut the minimum pay is $10.

how to show different banner within the same time?
I think you need to create two PHP files then.
