For the past 3 months I have been trying out a new wordpress plugin called the OIOpublisher that allows you the publisher to sale banner ads, text ads, manage a affiliate program as well as set up a add server for non wordpress sites. I have been very impressed with the results of this plugin to say the least. But one main feature that really attracted me to this plugin was that all proceeds would go directly into my pocket. I am talking about 100% of the proceeds. Yes, their is no middle man used. What also impressed me was that I could set this plugin up on all my blog and websites and not have to worry if the ad network was going to approve of the site or not. Getting approval on a few of my sites has been a great concern, especially for sites that don’t have a very distinct following yet.
But their is one drawback from using this system. The publisher will have to advertise. Usually this aspect is handled by the middle man. I can’t say that I have found an answer for this as of yet. The only thing that I can say is to make your service a focal point on your website or blog. In the header make sure you have a tab or menu item that say specifically that you allow for advertising. If you have a large amount of traffic and you can attract big named advertiser give away 15 to 20 days to allow that advertiser to get acquainted with you traffic and if they are satisfied book them in for the next 30 days at regular prices. Now lets get into some of the features.
Ad Server - Set up ads in this plugin and through java-scripting add the ad to websites that don’t have a back-end of wordpress. What a great feature. The javascript works just like plugin code on a wordpress blog. That means you can drop in either a text ad and banner ads or both and sale both of these site wide for any website that you would feel would benefit from this feature. You can also set your own price for each ad per site.
Google and the <no follow> tag. If you afraid for Google pinging you site for selling page rank, don’t worry about that with this plugin. You can set it up so that each link sold automatically has the <no follow> link. You can also charge a premium to turn off this feature.
Affiliate programs - Do you have a in house affiliate program that you run. This plugin will can take care or payments and tracking for you affiliate program also.
All of these features and plenty of other features are all automated and does not require any interaction once set up. Just set everything up in the beginning and let it do its thing.
All payments are real time and are credited to a paypal account that is set up in the plugin in the beginning.
If you or anyone else is serious about selling text links and banner space on a website or blog then this plugin is what you need. It is powerful enough for a small website that may only get 20 to 30 clicks a day to a blog or website that get 10,000 to 30,000 clicks a day. It is that powerful. Learn more about the OIOpublisher..

I am a computer programmer that got fed up with the corporate life. While I write the post I have since removed myself from the corporate life and am now doing affiliate marketing full time. It was not easy. I took a lot of slack from bosses that did not have the same vision that I had. But I continued to rock on and follow my dream.
