I haven't done this before but you may be able to create a view with an argument form the URL, such as maybe the node ID or though parsing the path for terms. A different way could be to use CCK node reference from your pages to ad nodes which would be displayed as teasers in a block somehow. Each page may have a set of ads that go with it. Since I've never done these, maybe someone can tell you if they're even possible!
The more I think about it, to guarantee a certain number of views per ad, custom code is probably necessary.

Hmm. Yes, for starters. But since this is for ads, it's important to be able to guarantee the advertiser a certain number of views per page load. So I'm not sure random would fly. And now I'm thinking that I probably need some code in there to get certain ads displaying more often than others. So maybe I really do need to write this code.

Could you create a view that displays only one item and sorted randomly?

I'm looking for a way to rotate views. I've seen "Views Rotator", but it doesn't look like it does exactly what I want. I need the view to rotate for each time a page is loaded, while views rotator rotates on the same page via jquery.
What I'm after is a way to replace the advertisement module using views and click filter. A different ad should show each time the user loads a page. I'm thinking that I need to set a cookie to hold the incremented offset, and pull that value into the view whenever it is called. I can write this code, but I'd rather drop a module in and call it done. Anybody know of any thing that will do this for D5.x?
