Ok I just got the Links as well as the Webadverts on my site.
This is great, no errors! Must of done something right.
Hoever, the server is NOT SSI, so I am trying to figure out how to make a different number on the page for Webadverts (the XX)
The closest answer to this I have found is a previous posting from Mark (found at http://gossamer-threads.com/scripts/forum/archive/links/528. html)
He says:

If you cannot run SSI on your system, then you need to use the image calls (suppled in webadverts docs) for your static pages. Not a big deal, but you lose ALT tag info, and things like that. Plus, nonssi image tags cause webadverts to not perfor as well as ssi. You get browser cache problems, so the banners dont always rotate. Darryl built in a page=XX which helps, but isn't always perfect.
What you should do if you are using the image tags, is have Links generate a counter before doing the build routine, and have the output of the counter replace the "XX" so that you at least have every category page show a different page number.
Meaning, if you have 10 category pages that will need banners, you have an increment tally being kept so that on the first category page generated, page=10, on the second one page=11, thrid page=12 etc). I haven't done that for anyone, so I dont have the exact code you would need, but it's nothing even remotely difficult.
Good luck!

Remotely difficult? Is it possible you can give more details on how to do it please?
I love this script!
Thanks
