Manage your advertisements on Wordpress - The easy way

Managing ads on Wordpress is quite a tedious process, especially when you have a template that shows bright yellow/black on white error messages when you try to tweak it (I guess that’s an error most of the time from the other end and not the template, though we firmly believe otherwise).

So I thought bloggers running on wordpress might be interested to learn about the best Advertisement manager plugins available to them, while discarding the stupid ones. Here goes..

1. Shylock AdSense Plugin
   The best one in the category and a must must to all WP bloggers ( % stars ).
   This plugin allows you to show AdSense (or any other ads) on posts at various places (top, bottom, midle, top-left etc) and based on how old the post is. You can configure more than one AdSense code to it.
   I’m running this on DailySEOblog and strongly recommend it.

2. Who sees Ads
   A great idea in plugin form.Who Sees Ads is an advanced ad management plugin that lets you decide who will see your ads, depending on user defined conditions like whether the user is referred from a search engine like google, or he is a direct visitor or referred from another site.
   Based on these user conditions, the ads are either triggered or not triggered.
   This plugin is extrememyl good to increase your AdSense CTR. Why? In AdSense if your impressions (which are not clicked) can be minimized, then your revenue will increase. With this plugin, you select whether you should display the ads to one particular section of visitors (like regular readers) or not thereby minimizing the chances of wasteful impressions.

3. Chitika eMini malls
   This plugin allows you to put a Chitika eMiniMall right into the body of the blog post. There is also a convenient button in the editor to customize keywords, colors etc. Good for bloggers who have been banned on AdSense and looking for other income streams.

4. AdSense Manager
   This is a Wordpress plugin for managing AdSense ads on your blog. It generates code automatically and allows positioning with Widgets. It can also be used to manage text and image based ads.

5. WP-Ads
   A very good plugin for managing non-Adsense image banner ads. Easily configurable and very effective. It can be automated to make random banners appear on different positions on your blog.

Managing ads on Wordpress even without these plugins is possible but at some point of time it tends to be tedious and an automated way can be much helpful. If you plan to insert AdSense/Image banners in your template, all you have to do is tweak your respective template (like sidebar.php), but when you change the theme, the ads may disappear, but in a plugin’s case it’s likely to remain if no other errors occur.
