    Hello everyone -- some may know me from SEOChat and SEO-Guy.

    I'm trying to get the co-op advertising on my site, but I'm afraid i don't see a solution in the existing threads for my situation...I hope this isn't a dupe.

    The scenario:
    1. Pages are all HTML; I don't particularly want to change 50k extensions to PHP.
    2. The hosting service won't allow me to use .htaccess (thus the mod_rewrite workaround for html files isn't a possibility). This was something of a shock to me...up until this point I thought rather highly of hosting service.

    Has any code been written in javascript to handle the ad requests / writes? I realize it'd necessitate a global change on my part to add the code, but that could easily be done -- I just don't want to try and develop something if it has already been done and/or if a javascript solution is not allowed within the co-op.

    The next site I develop in the upcoming months will be on a new host; if the javascript concept doesn't fly, I'll just try again later with that new site, using one of the known implementations of the co-op.

    Thanks everyone!

    It wouldn't work with JavaScript, so if you can't do .htaccess you would need to change your extensions.

    I also have this problem

    I hate to ask foolish questions but I am very new to codes and web site building.
    If I change the file extensions to php I do not need the .htaccess ?
    What is involved with changing file extension names?
    Will it have any effect on things like pr serps ect.
    any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    It would have an affect on your immediate ranking and PR because you are changing all the file names (URLs).

    Bummer. Okay, thanks Shawn. I'll revisit when we launch our next category site in a month or so...in case anyone is thinking about Yahoo! Web Hosting, it won't work for this solution, but it otherwise a pretty solid host.
