The code
The software that most of the banner companies use is called a "cgi script",
(I'm not going to go into cgi scripts here), the code you are given to
put on your page calls this cgi script on their server.
This is an example of the code you'll be given to insert into your page, and
no, it won't be multi-coloured like this !!

<!-- END INTERNET LINK EXCHANGE CODE -->
The two blue sections are just comments, you're not allowed to remove them but
they don't do anything at all. The red section is the actual code that decides
which page you should go to if you click on the banner. The purple section
is the section that contacts the banner company and displays a banner.
The two green sections are my membership number, this is part of the code and
is how the banner company know on which page an advert has been displayed.
The final yellow part is the text that appears under the banner, which will
take you to the banner companies home page if it is clicked.
You SHOULD NOT alter this code in any way, the most common mistake I see
is people putting <BR> tags in the middle of the lines of code.
