This plugin allows blog admins to create a revenue sharing program utilising one of the many advertising programs out there i.e Google Adsense, Amazon, Allposters etc. It can also be used as a banner manager, author photo/website widgets.. actually it has about a zillion uses. Give it a try and lemme know if you use it for anything really groovy. This plugin was first created around 10 years ago and is still chugging along just fine.

Admin has complete control over:

  • The percentage of author adverts to admin adverts.
  • The user level that an author has to be before they get to participate in the revenue sharing program.
  • Whether to randomise author ads on the front page of the blog.
  • The page that authors see before entering their publisher id.
  • Custom fields where you can collect additional information from your authors and display it.
  • The positioning and content of ads.
  • Up to three Author Advertising widgets.
  • The information that authors enter.

Known Problems

  • The whole thing needs a re-write and some new features wouldn't go amiss, still works though 🙂
