WordPress random ads plugin makes your advertisements widgets rotated.

Some days ago, after i added 125×125 widgets in wordpress, i wanted to have them rotated.

With wp125 plugin, you can achieve it, but sometimes, one ad is displayed twice all at once, of course i don’t want it.

Plus, if you use Twenty Ten theme which has a bit tiny sidebar’s width, you may want to have only one ads in one column.

WordPress random ads plugin can make this work done easily.

I recently do not use wordpress random ads plugin in this blog, but i might add it if i have time, plus i have to experience the result first..

I will show you how with step by step guide and a video tutorial to use wordpress random ads plugin for displaying rotating ads widgets today.

Please please, if you find it useful spread the post via your facebook or twitter account, or link to this post in your blog, i would really appreciate it!

To use this wordpress random ads plugin, you have to do these preparations.

Having random rotating widgets in your blog give you advantages and disadvantages.

Here is my opinion with the advantages of wordpress random ads plugin:

This wordpress random ads plugin will make your blog cleaner and more organized about the advertisement placement, because you do not need to display all of them.

So basically, you just display one advertisement, but rotating differently.

The disadvantage of wordpress random ads plugin:

This wordpress random ads plugin will possibly make your sales stats go down..I mean when an advertisement displayed and rotated, people can’t choose what they want to buy, because they can’t see the other advertisements.

Unless they refresh your pages several times, so that they can see all of your ads which are rotated and randomised.

However this is my opinion without any experience and facts, so not sure if this will make your sales less.

Preparation before you follow the tutorial is very obvious, prepare your affiliate link and images.

In this demo of using wordpress random ads plugin, i use Shareasale affiliate network, which is great, because it has a great support and it is related to wordpress blog, my blog niche.

In the wordpress random ads plugin tutorial, i use three links, and three images. (if you upload the image, don’t forget to optimize images first to compress the size).

After you collect all those datas, you can follow the steps.

I am using Twenty Ten theme, and it should be able to be applied in your theme which has single.php to display in the post page.

If you are using Thesis, i will make another tutorial sometimes soon.
