Quick Overview
Advertisement Network (AD NET)
Requirements:
AD NET is designed for any PC based Web Server that is WIN-CGI capable
running on Windows NT or Windows 95. Most computers are as it is a standard.
Comparison of other AD Servers:
Other simple AD servers display a random AD during each browser reload
of the current document. Which requires a considerable amount of
processing and gives you NO control of AD displays. Also managing and
installing advertisements on these servers requires one to know and
understand shell scripts, which can be a very time consuming and tedious.
WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD OF INTERNET ADVERTISING!
AD NET is designed two load a new AD at timed intervals, NOT DURING
EVERY RELOAD, therefore giving control back to the user. This also allows more
ADS to be served. Installation and maintenance are a breeze. No need to
learn C or Shell Scripts as AD NET allows you to manage the server within
the GUI (Graphic User Interface) built-in Windows 95 or NT. Other systems
P-A-L-E by comparison.
CONSIDER THESE AD NET FEATURES:
*Easy to install
-Click on Setup and watch it fly.
