The Sidebar Random Ads is a 300px by 250px ads space that allows you display both image (banner) and text ads on your blog sidebar.
In most of our templates, we include SideBar Random Ads in our Blogger templates. These adverts are randomly displayed on every page-load. Thus, when banner 1 is being displayed now, refresh the page and the banner 2 or banner 3 would be displayed.
In this ads space, you can have as many adverts (including Google AdSense, affiliate banners and links) as you want.
On this single page, we would be containing the setup instructions for our Blogger templates SideBar Random Ads.
