Today I’m really pleased to announce the launch of my latest WordPress plugin: WP AdCenter. This is an advertising management plugin for WordPress which allows you to control all aspects of your website’s display advertising. I needed something to run banners here on WPLift (you can see the rotating banners at the foot of each post) and I wasn’t happy with the plugins that are currently on the market, so I contracted a development team and we created our own.

Plugin Features
Here is a run-down of the main features of the plugin …
Place Banners with Ad-Zones
Define as many Ad-Zones as you like – Ad-Zones are used to display the banners on your site. The Ad Zones can one banner at a time that rotates, or the can hold multiple banners which display at the same time. We include the standard IAB Ad unit sizes, but you are free to use banners of any size you like.
Create Multiple Campaigns
A campaign is one set of banners running within an Ad Zone – create as many campaigns as you like so you can carry out testing to see which is the most effective. You can set automatic start and end dates for your campaigns.
Place Ad-Zones with Ease
There are currently 3 methods to place the Ad Zones into your WordPress theme :
- 1. With a Shortcode – Paste a Shortcode in any Post or Page
