Don't save each page as a seperate file. You will get serious problems if you 
try to make the final publication.

If your document is not too long (10 Pages should be okay) just create one 
document and insert all the pages you need. For ads that are always there you 
can use a masterpage. In scribus you can choose for each page which 
masterpage gets applied to it. Layout the rest as needed by inserting frames 
for text and images.
