Hello,

Would it be possible to set up a site so that the adsense ads would be rotated automatically, say, weekly to change the text and border color?

Looking for ways to fight transparancy, especially for my regular repeat readers.

On one of my sites I display AdSense Within a grapical box which provides the borders around the ads. I've set it up so that each time a page is viewed, the box is shown with a different color of graphic, in effect changing the color of the border around the ads. The colors rotate amoung 4 different colors, but I think the color change is nearly unnoticible, but still the click thru rates on these ads are the highest of any ads on any of my sites. I did this to combat "ad blindness" and I would say that it's pretty successful.

It can easily be done using a dynamic website language such as PHP.

Can definitely be done with PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, etc.

Use 'include' files to swap Adsense code based on some event.

Obvious follow-up question... Does anyone think this would help ad performance?

IMO consistency is better in the long run.
