3 plugins to monetize your WordPress blog

In a previous article, I shared 12 must-have plugins to make your WordPress blog more interactive. This time, I want to tell you about three plugins that will help you monetize your page.

Ad Squares Widget

The Ad Squares Widget makes it possible for you to display 125×125 ad squares ( or some other configurable size ad, advertisement, banner ) into a widget-ready bar for WordPress®. It supports AdSense®, Javascript, XHTML and more.”

You can add up to eight squares per widget and randomly shuffle their positions. You can also create as many widgets as you wish.

Easy Ads

“East Ads provides a unified and intuitive interface to manage multiple ad providers on your blog. Currently supported are Chitika, BidVertiser, Clicksor, and, of course, AdSense. The list of ad providers will be expanded later on at your request.

AdSense dumped you? Don’t be heartbroken; there are other fish in the sea. You may find happiness with ClicksorBidVertiser or Chitika. Use Easy Ads, and you may get lucky!

I like Easy Ads, as it is quite flexible and lets you decide where you want to place your ads inside the content of your posts (beginning, middle, end).

For more information and to download the plugin, click here.

Smart Ads

“Automatically adds advertisements before and after your post’s single page content based on word count or post age. You can also ad custom ads using the built-in shortcode.”

This is my favorite plugin of the three. It is very simple to figure out and accepts pretty much any type of code.

    Thanks for this. My site can get pretty long, so I like to drop a few ads in the middle of the content. With Adsense, I only get 3 spots, so I have one at the top, one on the side bar and one wayyyyyy at the bottom. I could fit at least 4 more ad banners in the site and still not have it look like an ad farm. I’m checking out AdBrite now, but their ads look kind of spammish. I guess I’ll keep looking.
