PageEar

A web ad that sits in the top right corner of a web site. When the user mouses over, the ad "peels" down and appears underneath. PageEar is a free version of one of these ads.

Notes
There are two versions of PageEar - 2.x and 1.x. The 2.x version has an administration interface that requires MySQL and can be used for hosting multiple banners. For our purposes, the 1.x version was entirely adequate as we want to "integrate" it with OpenX.
