Text Based Adverts?

[Brett_Tabke]

With the wide adoption of IFRAME support in browsers, text based advertising is now a possibility.

Any know of any ad broker offering text based links?

Can Brett or someone update us on what browsers and versions now support iframes. We always wanted to use it but thought it was IE only, (and now maybe NS6). What about other browsers? Opera?

We are very interested in using iframes. Any good guides on their use on the Web?

Thanks.

NN6, Opera 5+, IE5+, and not sure about IE4?

[rcjordan]

IE4, yes. The big hang-up is NS4.

What percentage of NS6 are you logging?

[chiyo]

Many thanks all.

RC... we are getting around 15% hits from netscape (or compatable), will check on versions.

There aren't any big players rotating text links that I know of.

Sponsorships.net [sponsorships.net] has a text sponsor box that pays $.12 CPC. They list 3 offers in the box (all text) and rotate them. You can customize the text and background colors and box width. They have a vertical one and a horizontal one. I set up a test page to show you how the boxes look without you having to signup/login with your own account to see. Will stickymail the url.
The box is pulled via javascript call, is this a problem with IFRAME?

I browser-sniff and swap between IFRAMES and ILAYERS now to serve some ads (or anything, for that matter) -been doing it for well over a year. Since the page being shown via the IFRAME is good ol' html, I haven't found any problems using javascript or anything else.

If I can get a handle on SSI, I think I'm going to go that route rather than IFRAMES. I've posted Setting up SSI to inject text and html code [webmasterworld.com] to see what it will involve.
