This is a super basic banner ad plugin.  CPM? CPC? CPX? CPR? Nope...  If you need to have a banner or banners displayed in multiple spots with no tracking or weighting or really any analytics, this is it.  

== Description ==

I run ads for long periods of time so I don't care about display statistics or anything of that nature.
I needed to show banner ads on my site, but double click for publishers was messing up my template and other plugins were too heavy for what I needed.
So, I made a super-basic banner plugin and named it after my favorite breakfast.

Create a banner, paste the link it should point to, name the zone you want it in, and make a note of the advertiser.
Then plut the shortcode into your template or directly in a post.  

If you put multiple banners into one zone then 1 will randomly be selected when the page loads.

== Installation ==

1. Install from repository
2. Update your template `<?php do_shortcode('[adsbenedict zone=zonename]') ?>` (change the zone name to whatever ads you want displayed here)
3. In posts/pages just use shortcode: `[adsbenedict zone=zonename]` (change the zone name to whatever ads you want displayed here)
4. Go to the adsbenedict menu page and add some ads.  

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Aren't there enough bad banner ad plugins? =

Yep.  And this one makes no claims to superiority other than that it is insanely simple and fixes some problems I was having with other ad plugins. 

= What about click tracking? weighting? alternate networks? =

I dunno...I cache heavily and don't really care about those numbers.  
This plugin is really fast because it's not doing anything tricky...in fact it's just placing an image and link in your theme.  

= Will it ever... =

The only "features" I *think* I'm going to add are a start date and end date.  
Subject to change as I need to add features for myself.

= Can I request a feature? =

Of course.  If it's interesting or seems helpful to the rest of the world I might add it.  

= Does it handle billing? =

Nope.

= If I put the same zone in my template twice could it possibly display the same ad twice? =

Yes.
