ClubMac has ads that appear only in certain subsections of their site, based on parts of the search parameters. The idea is to display your ads using an embedded [search] context that searches for things based on what the user typed in. So if you get to a page by searching for woDescriptiondata=hockey+pucks, then the embedded search can use that information to look thru the ad database:[search db=customads.db&woKeywordata=[woDescriptiondata]&max=1] [showif [numfound]=0]No ads found[/showif] [foundItems] [adCopy] [/foundItems] [/search]Grant Hulbert, V.P.
