I just posted a GID Community blog entitled: Fetching Unique Ads for a Contextual Advertising System.


Please let me know what you think.

It looks like your logic should work. The way I see it you have two options, which you already mentioned. If you keep it as a DB, then everything is stored in one place; you just have to call each add from the main DB and put it in a new table. If you made a text file, then you could treat it like a stack and "pop" off each add as it's used.

Since I'm not that familiar w/ PHP yet, I don't know which method would be easier/better to implement.
