Banner Ad Rotator for Websites: Hosted, From $5/mo

What is a banner ad rotator?

A banner ad rotator is software that decides which banner a visitor sees in a given spot on your page. Without one, a placement shows the same ad every time. With one, several ads share the spot, so each advertiser, sponsor or house promotion gets fair exposure and you can sell more than one ad in the same place.

A rotator can be a short script, a WordPress plugin, a self-hosted ad server, or a hosted service such as AdPeeps. They all do the same core job: pick the next banner, show it, and (in the better ones) count how often it was shown and clicked.

How banner ad rotation works

Random: each page view picks any banner in the group.
Sequential: banners take turns in a fixed order.
Weighted: a banner with a higher weight appears more often than one with a lower weight. See how weighting works in AdPeeps.
Scheduled: a banner only runs between its start and end dates.
Capped: a banner stops after a set number of impressions.
Targeted: a banner only shows to visitors in a chosen country, state or city. Read about geotargeting.

Banner ad rotator questions

Can I control how often each banner appears?

Yes. Give each ad a weight so higher-priority ads show more often, and combine weights with start and end dates and impression limits.

Does it work with WordPress?

Yes. Paste the AdPeeps HTML snippet into a widget or block. No plugin is needed. See the WordPress banner ad rotator page.

Which ad formats and sizes can I rotate?

Banner, HTML5 and video formats, in the standard banner sizes. Create a zone for each size you use. See the banner ad sizes guide.

Do you take a share of my ad revenue?

No. You keep 100% of your ad revenue and pay a flat monthly price based on impressions, from $5/month.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, 7 days, with no credit card required.
