Easily add and rotate banners in your wordpress blog anywhere you like without editing any themes or touching any codes
Normally adding banners will need you to edit your wordpress theme, mess with lots of codes and even then you won’t have the result as you want.
But what if you had the power to easily place your banners in any position you want to on your blog? What if you could also track your banners, find out how good they really are doing? Above all what if you didn’t even have to worry about editing your Wordpress theme to do all of this?
What if all of this could be done with one powerful and easy plugin? That is where Max Banner Ads comes into play. Adding, controlling, and tracking the banners on your blog has never been more easier or more powerful with the Max Banner Ads plugin.
The AdSense Manager Wordpress plug-in is a great plug-in which makes it easier than ever to place and maintain Google AdSense ads on your blog. The plug-in is great because it automatically generates AdSense code for your blog and allows you to use widgets to position ads on your blog. Another great feature is the ability to limit the number of ads so you do not violate any TOS.
This plug-in works great to keep readers interested in the content of your blog. It provides readers with links to other posts with similar keywords. When you use this plug-in, a list will appear at the end of each of your blog posts with a list of related posts. A similar plug-in is the Similar Posts plug-in.
Top 10 SEO Related WordPress Plugins
WordPress has some pretty good functions built in to help you with SEO (Search Engine Optimization), however you might find you need some plugins to help you along the way. Here are ten of my favorite WordPress plugins that have to do with making your web site work better with the various search engines out there.
All in One SEO Pack – The All in One SEO Pack plugin does exactly what its name implies – it allows you to customize and automate adding title tags, descriptions, keywords and meta tags to every page and post published on your blog.

In order for any person to
make money blogging you need to advertise, promote
affiliate marketing, and generate interest in products that will make you money. Smart Ads is a great plugin that helps place advertisements on your blog without having to constantly input the html code. The Smart Ads Wordpress plugin will allow you to automatically place ads before and after your blog posts. There are additional options to remove ads for subscribers, showing ads on posts older then a certain amount of time, and to disable the top ad if the top of the post contains an image. One of the nicer features of the SmartAds Wordpress plug-in is the ability to create a “SmartAd” which is a custom ad that you can add to your blog.
The Feedburner Feedsmith plug-in automatically redirects to your Feedburner feed regardless of how various users access it. Taking a couple of minutes to setup a feedburner account allows you to combine this plug-in with the feedburner subscribe by email option. As you see on my blog (its the subscribe to my blog form). This means you’ll give subscribers multiple options of subscribing, whether by RSS feed, email, or ShareThis.
If you use the “more” tag in
your blog posts (meaning, you just show a short amount of
your blog posts on your home page with a “Continue Reading” or similar link leading the reader to the full post), then only the part of your post before the “more” tag (before the “Continue Reading” or similar link) is visible in your feed to subscribers. If you want your subscribers to see your full posts in their feed readers, then the Full Text Feed plug-in is for you.
With this plug-in, your full posts will show up to subscribers in their feed readers at all times.
This is a great plugin for people who want to maximize the ad space on their blogs. Using text files that you create, the plugin automatically rotates between the ads you specify to appear in a particular space on your blog.
This is a light-weight and easy to use plugin which allows you to add any text and/or HTML/CSS code to your posts and/or pages as prefix (top / beginning), middle and/or suffix (bottom /end). (That includes even any new or old posts and pages and even your feed)
