    Well, How can I show ads at the top of all pages in a directory with 1000's of html pages ? I don't want to manually add them.

    Can I do this with frames ? If yes, than How ? can this also be done using some kind of php code which gets added at the top of all the web pages in that directory ? the ads will be google adsense.

    try to put all that pages in a template, i'm assuming is a static html website, if you are or will use php, you can use an "include" in the header

    You could do a global find & replace on a unique set of tags on the whole local site to insert the ads or, even better, a snippet of code for a server-side include.

    You can put SSIs in your pages even in html as long as your server is set up correctly to do so. It's been a while since I ran such a setup but I remember getting the IIS server I had to treat html as shtml pages.

    Going on from arnoldcr's recommendation of going php, you could maybe start to use phpadsnew in that SSI, which I have just found out has been re-launched/re-branded as Openads.

    You meant including a header.php file ? Hmmm I am not sure that will be a very good solution for me as manually adding so many file is very difficult

    I was thinking about SSI but not sure how to use it ? should I talk to my host first ? any other option ? I am even fine with frames, if that's possible

    The following .NET function will add a specified HTML code after the <body> tag to every HTML file in a specified directory. It could be run on the server or locally, but I suggest a complete backup before using.

    
    Function addToAll(ByVal HTMLToInsert As String, ByVal DirOfFiles As String)
        Dim files() As String
        Dim fTxt As String
        Dim sr As StreamReader
        Dim sw As StreamWriter

        files = Directory.GetFiles(DirOfFiles, "*.html")

        For i = 0 To files.Length - 1
            'Read
            sr = New StreamReader(files(i))
            fTxt = sr.ReadToEnd
            sr.Close()
            sr = Nothing
            'Replace
            fTxt = Replace(fTxt, "<body>", "<body>" & HTMLToInsert)
            'Write
            sw = New StreamWriter(files(i), False)
            sw.WriteLine(fTxt)
            sw.Close()
            sw = Nothing
        Next

    End Function
    Code (markup):
    Take note that this will only do .html files not .htm (you can change what file types it edits by changing the *.html on line:
    files = Directory.GetFiles(DirOfFiles, "*.html")

    usage would be:
    addToAll("<a href='http://www.google.com'>Google</a>", "c:\dir1\")

    would add a link to google on the top of every HTML page in c:\dir1\...
    If you do not have visual studio to use this code it would have to be run using asp.net on the webserver.
