An Affiliate Random Ad Rotating WordPress Plugin is now running on my funny jokes site
It was surprisingly difficult to find a WordPress plugin that could be used to rotate ads via a MYSQL database (didn’t want to use text files). I tried over a dozen scripts (not all WordPress plugins) and none of them came close to what I wanted!!!
Eventually found a WordPress plugin called “Nice Quotes Rotator” which was created to add rotating quotes to WordPress blogs, it was apparently inspired by the Hello Dolly plugin that comes with WordPress by default.
Since I was looking to create an affiliate random ad rotating plugin for the jokes site it needed a fair amount of code changes.
After editing the plugin to work as I wanted, downloaded a CSV format Shareasale datafeed that was for an affiliate that offers stupid prank gifts.
Downloaded and partially renamed the images (for SEO reasons) associated with the datafeed, using MS Excel took the name of each product and added Stupid Prank Gifts to the end of it (for SEO and marketing reasons).
Used some nifty javascript/CSS coding so the affiliate links won’t be recognised by Google etc… as links (mo wasted PR/link benefit), but Google can still get to the name of the product and the image that’s uploaded onto my server so potential to gain some prank related SERPs.
Edited my Talian 05 theme (that was pretty easy to do) to use a WordPress shortcode for the new plugin to generate several ads: what you see when you visit the jokes site.
Pretty cool result if I do say so myself :-)
Will be interesting to see how much money it makes, before today had Chitika ads running on the site and their performance was RUBBISH: last 30 days just $76.69 from 1,087,247 impressions (I think Chitika reports an impression each ad loaded, I had two ad units per page so that’s from half a million page loads!).
If I can’t make more than $76 a month from half a million page loads linked to an affiliate I give up!

Update: didn’t make any money :-(
