How can I add adverts to the Joomla! Content Management System?

In Joomla, you can use the built in banner system for Corporate. Just make sure that the theme you use has the banner output.

Here you go:

1. Upload a 1x1 pixel .png or .gif to the /images/banners/ folder in Joomla. Remember its name.
2. Log in to the Joomla admin.
3. ON the top menu, go to Components>>Banners>>Manage Clients.
4. From there, click "new" at the top-right-hand corner.
5. Enter the following information for x10:

Client Name:  	x10Hosting, LLC.
Contact Name: 	x10Hosting
Contact Email: 	support@x10hosting.com
Extra Info:The required banners for our hosters. DO NOT REMOVE OR EDIT!!!

6. Save and go, on the top menu, to Components>>Banners>>Manage Banners.
7. Click "new" again and enter the following info:

Banner Name:  	x10Hosting
Client Name: 	Select "x10Hosting, LLC."
Impressions Purchased: Check the "Unlimited" box.
Show Banner: 	Select "Yes".
Click URL:      http://x10hosting.com/advert/adclick.php?n=a7fb3e9d
Custom banner code:  Paste the ad code here.  Want XHTML Compliance?  Remove the <noscript></noscript> tags.  Also remove the target='_blank' part and and change '&' in the image part to '&amp;'.
Banner Image Selector:  The name of the 1x1 pixel image.

8. Make sure its published and that your theme has the following code in it somewhere:

<?php if ( mosCountModules ('banner') ) {
        mosLoadModules( 'banner', -1 ); 
      } ?>
