Blog Banner Ad Management Plugin: Max Banner Ads
Pawan Agarwal has released yet another monster WordPress plugin, and this time it’s something all blogger, black hat or white hat or "gray hat", can benefit from.
Max Banner Ads is a plugin that will help you manage, rotate, organize and track advertising on your site, including Google AdSense, banners, JavaScript ads (like from CJ) and even flash-based ads. As a matter of fact, you can actually use Max Banner Ads to rotate, manage and track almost any kind of content you want.
The really cool thing about Max Banner Ads is that it’s 100% plug-n-play and trust me you don’t have to copy and paste a single line of code, although those codes are still made available for more advanced users.
Create Your Own Banner Ad Zones
This is what makes this WordPress plugin totally plug-n-play. You can effortlessly create banner ad zones for your blog, and you can choose to either:
- Display ads before the first post of your blog
- Display banner ads at the bottom of the last post
- Display banner ads within the post content
You can choose the layout, either:
- Fixed alignment - left, center or right
- Randomize the position (great for Google AdSense within the post content)
- Display it as a WordPress widget in your sidebar
- Edit the CSS and match your blog layout
Adding New Banners and AdSense
Adding new banners is really easy too. A cool feature here is to just copy and paste the advertising codes given by the publisher, and Max Banner Ads will automatically extract the image as well as the URL into the system. You can also easily upload banners from your PC.
Adding javascript ads (Google Adsense or codes from networks like CJ or PepperJam) is simple, just copy and paste into the space provided. However script ads don’t produce statistics and it’s not possible to track clicks on them.
Here how the tracking and reporting page looks like. At a glance you can see not only the impressions and clicks, but you can also see the actual banners (unless it is a javascript).
Free or Paid?
Max banner ads is available both as a free or paid plugin. Both version work the same except that the paid version allows you to remove the "Powered By Max Banner Ads" link at the bottom of all your banner ads. However, if you do upgrade to Max Banner Ads Pro you can still use it on an unlimited number of blogs, so $47 is well worth the price of looking like a professional.

I was blog hopping when I stumbled across some inline ads and little did I know that it was Max Banner Ads. Currently, I’m quiet fine with adsense but I’ll checking it out in a while.
