WordPress Banner Management Plugin Options

In this post I’ll be addressing WordPress banner management plugin options as monetizing your blog via paid sponsor ads or via affiliate banners is one of the major income streams for many bloggers. Even though I have previously wrote couple posts about the subject in question – new options were made available that allow you better choice for WordPress banner plugin.

I want to take a closer look at 2 different plugins you can use on your WordPress blog that in my personal opinion address all the major needs and provide the simplicity combined with functionality most bloggers will need.

While it depends on your needs – these plugins take a slightly duifferent approach but provide the value and opportunityies. First a more minimalistic approcach that deals ONLY with 125×125 ads on your sidebar

WP125: Easy 125×125 Banner Management For WordPress

Simply click the title to get to the author’s blog for more details on this plugin or download it if you like. What I personally like about this plugin is that it provides you with all the options you need to monetize that Banner Ads Space on your sidebar.

Nothing more, nothing less – its beauty is in simplicity while still providing all the options you might need, such as click tracking, banner rotation, etc. A really versatile plugin that does one thing but does it well and if that is all you need – well worth the look!

Max Banner Ads For WordPress

Released as “reviewware” this plugin is created by the same developer who brought us great many other commercial and semi-free plugins that allow blog monetization – Pawan Agrawal. If you are looking for an ALL-AROUND banner management option for your WordPress blog this one would be a great option to consider, just don’t forget to write a review as license states!

It comes with great many options to allow you place your banner in just about any location you can imagine and attempts to overcome the “ad blindness” by rotating your banners within a specific zone. It also permits you to test which banners perform more effectively and leave those that are the “bread earners”.

Pawan did a great job with this plugin and I have no intentions to duplicate the description he already provided plus an excellent video that does a nice overview of WHY you need to consider the Max Banner Ads Plugin.

Armed with 2 banner management plugins outlined above I think you can have all the options you might possibly need to designate location on your blog for sponsored ads, affiliate marketing or any other means of monetization you decide to deploy via banners!

I personally think that Max Banner Ads is the better option for all around solution and provides you with all the options you might need but it is your blog, so consider what you need and if sidebar ads are all you need – there is no reason to install the bigger plugin.

    I recently searched for banners and links management plugin and evaluated about 10 of them. What I did not like about Max Banner Ads is their link on my blog banners. I could get rid of links, but it’s not free. The closest free replacement for this plugin was Ad Integration plugin by ThaSlayer.

    However, winner in my case was Adsense Manager as I wanted more precise control over both banners and links. All ad manager plugins work on a global level, and you cann’t really manage ads on a post level (different ad for different post). Adsense Manager does exactly that, and I can very easily add and replace banners and links anywhere I want.

      Max,

      Max Banner Ads, allows you to add banners/adsense/any other type of ads at post level as well.

      Simply, copy the zone/banner tag by clicking on “” icon and put that in any post you like.

    Alex, is there a reason (you can share) why 125 ads are gone? They are one of the best performers for my blog.

    I ever used integrated directory on wordpress but it was really pretty bad. Now I used phpLD with wordpress but I’m finding banner manager for wordpress too. You forgot to tell about WP2.6.2 compatibility.
    Thanks for good information.

    Hi Alex,

    WP125 did not work with my updated version (2.6.2) of wordpress and the max banners plug in is branded unless you want to pay to remove the branding plus to activate the plug-in you have to go through a one time offer speel, ugh!

    Still looking for a better banner management solution,

    Mark

    What a joy it is to finally have a choice in banner ad management solutions. Both get a double thumbs up from me. I will say though, that I really do love the WP125 Plugin. It’s sooo very good.

    I got rid of wp125 and bought myself oiopublisher and it paid for itself in the first week. I really like the affiliate side of it so your readers can get rewarded for advertising your advertisement page.

    I have a few 300×250 banners on my blog.Having too much banners will confuse your visitors and your site will look cheap as well.People have learned not to click on banners so if they are not converting, they are just taking up valuable space on your site.
