Got my version site 6 up and love it. What I was using isn't upgraded to v 6, so what else is anyone using to run banner ads? I want them different on each page, like the articles, etc, and I don't see how to do that?

I see there is one that rotates ads, anyone work with that one?

Mostly affiliate ads that I want to put around the site. Any help is really appreciated.

I've created blocks and positioned those around the side bars of the site. I've been using an affiliate network that provides a javascript that points at ads in a group. So when the script executes in the block it selects one of the ads from the group and shows it. As far as visibility of the blocks go - you can configure them using criteria such as roles, page groups, or php code to appear or disappear.

I've created blocks of different sizes so I can get buttons and skyscraper ads positioned in the desired locations without the content of the sidebars jumping around due to random size banners.

Knowing your advertisers are conforming to standards published by www.IAB.net is important. Only through conforming with standards are you going to comfortably predict what is going to show on your site. Sadly there are people claiming to be online advertising experts that have no knowledge that standards exist and why they are to be followed.

I put an ad on a page and its visible on some browezers & not others. Is there a module I need to display images, or will Drupal do that automatically?

thanks in advance,
