Hi eservice,

Thank you for your comments.

Randomization is controlled by the sql query rather than using php to generate a random order. As the number of ads for a zone increase, the "distribution" does become more even.

I had not planned on incorporating a "timed" rotation for ads. To do so would require an ajax request triggered by the user-defined expiration setting. To further expand on this functionality, each ad could have a different "exposure" setting. It is not that this functionality cannot be incorporated rather, at first glance, it would introduce a level of complexity for the user that I think out weigh its benefit. I will, however, add this to my 'research' list to see how easily I can incorporate and document this functionality.

Thanks again for your comments!

I see that the ads rotate occasionally as you flip between pages (I have two ads specified for one zone), but it seems inconsistent. One ad gets about 3 times more impressions than the other. Is there a way to control that?

Also, is there a way to make the ads in a zone rotate while the reader is reading the page so that they see each ad for 20 seconds or some such?

Thanks for your help. So far I really like the plugin.
