Excellent Wordpress Plugin For Ad Management

Well my quest for a great functioning ad management plugin for my Informant Zone blog is over! Of course, to optimize your blogs’ financial income, you must have good control over your ads. So what made me choose Max Banner Ads? Well, if you’re like me and just getting going in the world of blogging you don’t have advertisers banging down your door to advertise on your blog. Of course, you are then resorting to putting affiliate banners and buttons on your website from programs such as commission junction. With a site like commission junction, you are not provided with an affiliate link for your advertisers but rather HTML code and Javascript code. As I found out recently, 90% of the ad management plugins out there like WP125 do not support the entering in of HTML and Javascript. You are simply limited to entering targeting URL and image location URL. Of course, this plugin does have that option and you are able to upload your banner image from your desktop, a hosted site or the affiliates’ site.

This is where Max Banner Ads comes in! It has a healthy amount of features that you can spend a lot of time playing around with and it enables you to basically put a banner or button just about ANYWHERE on your blog as well as rotate them for fresh looking content. What I really liked about this plugin once I got it installed was the fact that it tracks your banners’ impressions, clicks and CTR’s all within Wordpress. What it also let me do over other banner management systems was “center” the 2 rows of  125×125 buttons in my side bar. My theme was not built with this new advertising fad in mind and this plugin helped me achieve the well organized look I wanted.

In addition to its already robust base of features, it allows you to put banners in the top of posts, bottom of posts, top of your blog, bottom of your blog and many other places. When you add banners into your posts, you can have Max Banner Ads change around the positioning and type of ads within the post. This ensures that the reader does not see the same ads in the same place every single time they show up at your blog virtually eliminating “advertising blindness”.

For someone like me who is more worried about writing and researching rather than coding, this plugin takes care of my banner worries. Not to mention I find the layout intuitive and easy to use.
