Learn Perl then write a few scripts to help you. For example I wrote a script that will go through a directory on my computer looking for one set of text, and replacing it with another. So you have a template with the line ----text ad here---- then you just tell the script what ad you want there, and in less than a second it has gone through all the html pages looking for that text and put your banner wherever you want it. The time cost to you is just the time it takes you to type the text ad once, you don't have to open every page you want the ad in and paste in manually.

Why would anyone start off with perl in this day and age? For simple web stuff wouldnt PHP or a full featured OO language like java or C++ be better? It's ok to waste your own time....
