Need to serve Ad on a C5 website and Non-C5 website... was wondering about iframing options
Permalink Browser Info Environment
The Arizona Self Storage Association has 2 websites... the one I co-built using Concrete5 at azselfstorage.org and a non-C5 auction listing database at selfstorageauctionsaz.com.
The question I have pertains to iframing the Ads. For instance, at the top of both websites you'll see Ads being served. The azselfstorage.org has Google Adsense ads in there right now and the other uses a service called Multiview to serve Ads. We'd like to sell Ads to our Vendor members and serve them up on both websites as a part of the contract. I'd like to use the C5 Ad Server for both and was wondering how best to serve up Ads on the non-C5 site. I was thinking about creating a separate Ad campaign on a blank page, no header or anything, and then iframing it into the selfstorageauctionsaz.com website at the top. Would this work you think? I'd have to tweak my Google Analytics a bit to prevent data skewing since the auction gets more traffic, but that's not really the point of this question. Does it even make sens to do it this way?

Thanks Franz!
Proving more difficult than I thought. I've done it in the past, but not with the ability to add a Block if I recall. Is there a good "how to" anywhere about creating a completely blank (no header, footer or content) page with the exception of the ability to add a block... any block for that matter in case this is necessary for something else?
Not sure a specific how-to exists for that, but if you explore the
documentation section around theming you should find this pretty easy to
pull off.

Even with that... it's just not apparent to me how to create a completely themeless page with the ability to add a block. I'll seek help elsewhere.
Thanks,

ad-block on it and then iframe that page on your static site... Should
behave fine.
