Author Advertising Plugin
This plugin allows blog admins to create a revenue sharing program utilising one of the many advertising programs out there i.e Yahoo, 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.
Admin has complete control over…
The percentage of author’s ads to admin ad’s.
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.
Authors publisher ID’s, and other custom information (you can edit and delete an author’s advertising entries)
Installation
- 1. Disable your Author Advertising/Adsense plugin (if any). If you’ve used this plugin before version 2.5 of Wordpress then you’ll need to delete your author_advertising table. You could always export the publisher information and import again using phpMyAdmin. You could also simply add two new columns to the table author_custom1 (text) and author_custom2 (text) and delete the kd_author_advertising option in the wp_options table.
- 2. Upload author-advertising.php into your Wordpress plugins folder.
- 3. Activate the plugin from your admin plugins menu.
- 4. Change the admin options from Settings > Author Advertising Config.
- 5. You can also modify author settings from Users > Author Advertising
Compatibility
This plugin is for Wordpress 2.5. Anything lower and all the admin pages will look as if they fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch. You should always use the latest version anyway ;P.
Many themes don’t support the automatic ad-placement that’s used in this plugin. To get around this simply disable the ads and use the included funtion in your theme or the tags in your post. Placement problems are due to the themes not the plugin.. (plugin works fine with default and classic themes ;)

Now adsense give its code only with ad_slot. How we can insert it on your plugin per every author?
Thanks

Hi Merlinox, from the plugin admin page there are two custom slots you can use. These are to allow authors to enter extra information (aside from publisher id) such as ad_slot if you’re using Google or even a banner URL or link to a picture. Then on the authors dashboard it’ll allow them to put that info in. Google are not very friendly when it comes to sharing ads etc. which is why I changed this plugin to advertising instead of adsense but adsense will still work in a roundabout way.
