If you're running CPM ads, it's almost definitely fraud to rotate them on a timer. I wouldn't recommend anyone do that, of course. If you're running CPC or CPA ads and find that rotating them helps improve their performance, everyone wins. I don’t know what Google’s official policy is.

What if you refreshed the ad every x seconds? That seems like a no-no to me. Is google ok with this practice?

Serving the image through an ASHX handler that automatically randomizes the image returned is probably the most common way (should be easy to find an example), and it works pretty well.

Quick question though. If we wanted to randomize the images on the advertisement that were on our server, how would we go about that. For example all of my add's are png format. I want to rotate them using ajax. Thanks Great Post! Quick question though. If we wanted to randomize the images on the advertisement that were on our server, how would we go about that.

If the ad is refreshing, it sounds like you've got it right. It's entirely possible that they've done something to neutralize the rotation since then. I'd be interested to hear what you find out.

Your suggestion is something I had already tried. What happens is the Google ad "flashes" just as though it was being refreshed with a new page load but the ad content never changes. Is there a location where this code is actually in place and serving new Google ads on a ajax refresh? Dave, thanks for the prompt responses.

Put that JavaScript in your OnComplete and it will work. All the code should be the same, down to and including the section titled “Using that iframe to rotate the ad content”.

I can use jquery or microsoft ajax. The problem is things like "Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance()" have no meaning in MVC. Actually, I'm refreshing the page content via JQuery and have access to an "onComplete" funtion but I can't figure out what the heck to do on complete in terms of your code for web forms.

When/how to trigger that depends on what sort of AJAX you're using in your MVC app. The fundamental solution would be the same (i.e. iframes, .src = .src, etc).
