I have an idea on how it would work but its really hard to explain. I will let you know when I get everything going. But I am trying to figure out right now how to keep track of how many times the ad is clicked. And yes I am going to use a rule for linking to the advertisers url.
RKS said: You will need pro for url linking, yes. But to see how many times its click just make an real attribute called timesclicked and do a change attribute to +1?
for the timesclicked attribute how would I be able to get that information when the game is published?

well these ads would let developers make better money

This would not even work. GameSalad does not have the ability to call for information outside the app. So at best you will be able to publish using preset images and links that can scroll through but to update the Ad the Dev would have to update the app. Not gonna find anyone willing to pay for clicks on old ass ads.
You might want to check to see if this sort of thing is against the terms of service agreement. GS is a pretty closed and tightly controlled platform...
There might be a reason why something like this isn't easy to accomplish.
