All the sites I have made are static, normal HTML sites, but alot is happening in my category, so I need to make big changes on every site, without take everysite in to work and cut and past the things that must be changed on every page.

Like I said I have no clue how this works, but the goal is to make these changes easy:

change banners, text links, text ads, content on what ever site I want and on as many sites I want, with just a little work, so it must be some php/XML/ASP or what ever solution is needed, like I see amazon use, they have to make alot of changes, what do I need to do this in a profesionel way like amazon.

The program has to be like frontpage, so you can see results , not text only.

thanks,

zeus

P.s and can I take a already made site and make it dynamic or what is cald.

Using SSIs [httpd.apache.org] (Server Side Includes) may be a solution for you. It's a technique that allows a static page to import/include information in other files/pages. It's done on the server, before the page is served and it may give you the flexibility you seek.

Dynamic sites on an Apache server usually use a combination of PHP scripting and a MySQL database to "generate pages on the fly."

With your solution, is it also possible to send ads to a page, related to the keyword the user had made.

Assuming I understand your question, the answer is probably. ;)

If you build a script to identify the keyword and to select the appropriate file to include on the page, then the answer is yes.
