Monetize your WordPress Blog with Money Making Plugins
Monetize your WordPress Blog with Money Making Plugins
There are too many wordpress plugins to monetize your wordpress blogs. Most of the plugins are written for Google Adsense, as Adsense is the biggest ad network. However there are also many others which support other ad networks such as Chitika, YPN, Adbrite, Bidvertiser and more along with Adsense Support. Some of the plugins are no longer compatible with the latest WordPress version. Here I am listing only few of the plugins that are working with current wordpress version. You need only one of those plugins to automatically insert ad codes to your blog posts and pages.
WordPress Plugins
Tip: Go to plugin editor and check out the code that the plugins use. Sometimes they are useful. Like, some of the plugins add codes to all posts but do not add ad codes to the pages. You can simply edit the post.php and insert your ad code to make it work. Truly speaking you can also edit your single.php code manually and insert your own ad code too. If you do not like manual edits, below are some of your best solutions. I use ADMAN for a very long time and a big fan of the plugin. It is still working great for me.
1. Adsense Manager
AdSense Manager is a WordPress plugin for managing AdSense ads on your blog. It generates code automatically and allows positioning with Widgets.

Great Feature: Automatic limiting of Ads to meet network T&Cs (Google 3 units/page)
Installation: Easy one click installation via plugin activation.

3. Easy Adsenser
Easy AdSenser provides a very easy way to insert Google AdSense code into your existing blog posts. It gives you a widget to display ads in your sidebar, and another to show a Google Search box. It also gives you an option to apply Google’s policy (not more than three ad blocks per page) Thus, Easy AdSenser is perhaps the first plugin that gives you a complete solution for everything AdSense-related.
Features: Easily insert Adsense or other Ad network codes above, middle or below EVERY blog post automatically. You can also align your ads to the right or left of blog post. Great feature that is not available in many other Adsense Related wordpress Plugins.Compatibility: WordPress 2.7 compatible

I have pretty interest in making money with online. I have just gone through this post and I feel that this is nice place to get start tips from here.
But what about traffic? Even if you have these plugins you still need to have visitors. When you have visitors who says they’ll actually click on them? I’m still trying to figure out how to balance all the programs, finding what will work, while trying not to cheapen my site with ads. Sometimes I think people think less of a site if it’s covered in ads, hopefully they understand that there’s a cost in a site (unless you’re on blogspot or something), but it seems that most people just ignore ads.
I wish they knew that just a click, no need to buy anything, just a click goes a long way in the website owner making a little money to cover expenses.
I agree with you Sam.
In my experience every website is different. And you should always experiment with your websites to understand your traffic.
I am going 180 degrees opposite right now trying to optimize for Affiliate marketing Ads and paying less attention to PPCs.
I have to say I’m really impressed with your posts and blog overall. I stumbled on your site accidentally but am now happy I did. I’ll be stopping in to read more often now. Thanks again !
Hmm……….trying to get a link back? Say I am bad when I am really bad my friend.
