to have x amount of page views to get one banner ad, while x amount of page
views to get another banner ad, and soforth. How do I do this?

generally it's done with some server side scripting.
what kind of server is your site hosted on?

If you give me the domain name I'll look it up with Sam Spade or you can try
it yourself:

Dear Chris Leads, MVP - FrontPage,

I think I need to make myself more clearly then being vegue. I want to
rotate banner ads on FrontPage 2003. I know how to put a banner ads on the
FrontPage editor, but, I want to utilize a service that change the banner ads
for me for each time a page is viewed. Are these programs, that you gave me,
offer this technique or is there a way that I need to do it on my own, or is
there a program out there to do this on itself? The site it is on is
registered through Yahoo GeoCities free program. I think this is all the
information that I have at the moment.

OK,
No problem.
I wanted to know the name of the domain so I could see what kind of server
it was on, for instance; Windows, Apache, etc.
the reason I wanted to know what kind of server it's on is so I could
recommend a script or technique based on the scripting language common to
that server.
for instance, if you're on a windows server there's a banner rotator object
that's very easy to use. you can see a version of it here:
http://contentseed.com where the "testimonials" rotate.
I'm doing something similar here with .asp changing the background of the
top banner:
http://surequest.chrisleeds.com/

it takes less than 20 characters of code to do it.
there's also a banner rotator built into asp.net.
If it's an apache/ UNIX hosting environment you would be looking for most
likely a PHP solution.

must know and thanks for the help.

There's a feature that will do that built into the web masters CPanel on
"most" Apache servers.

I like to sync banner ads and use them onto my FrontPage 2003 sites. I like

to have x amount of page views to get one banner ad, while x amount of
page
views to get another banner ad, and soforth. How do I do this?

My understanding is the preferred method is using server side scripting (eg.
Asp, Asp.net, Php, Perl etc). You can also do the trick using Javascripting
even with the new kid on the block AJAX. The problem with doing it "from
the browser" is your revealing more information about where the ads are
located (depending on exactly how you code it) and similar security and/or
performance issues. I would prefer to use a SSS because then the end-user
gets less code (a smaller page) and it is specific to that ad.
