A few days ago I wrote about rotating ads in WordPress and as I said I had found a couple of solutions, but as it usually happens I was not completely satisfied with any of them, so I decided to code my own plugin.
I have written a plugin called WPAds, that allows you to define the different positions (or zones) where you want to place your ads and then randomly rotates the banners you want in those zones.
I use adservers like phpAdsNew for a few projects, but the installation and learning process are way too much for the usual blogger that just wants to show some rotating ads, and that’s what WPAds is written for. Of course, the features of WPAds are nowhere close to those of a full adserver, but I think they should be enough for most bloggers (and if you need something else, just let me know and I’ll try to include it!)
If you want more information on WPAds just follow this link, I hope you like it and find it useful.

Hi Nick, awesome plug-in, great job! One question, does it record impressions and click-thrus for each ad? I would consider this a very important feature, as my advertisers continually ask for this information.

I am new to blogging and WP. I installed the WPads plugin and it shows up in the option tab but when I click on I get a error?

Hi, Does your plugin avoid repetitions? All the plugins I’ve tried, do not check if the ad is already showing and I get duplicated ads. I would like to be able to
show 10 different ads on my sidebar (randomly selected and ordered from my total 20 ads).
Thanks!
Best regards,
Paula

Just installed it on Kitchener-Waterloo.net and it works great so far
still looking for an adserver with a carousel functionality similar to FCG but with the ability to do both images and adsense code.
