Part of making any type of content is to make sure it is sustainable and consistent. We have to make money out of it simply because we cannot eat or drink Facebook shares and Twitter favorites. Sure, content fuels your business and reputation but to operate and expand you need to create healthy sources of constant revenue so that you can continue doing that awesome job.
Below I’ve shared a list of 8 of the best ad management wordpress plugins that will help webmasters/web publishers/bloggers monetize their websites without interrupting the flow of content on their website.
But don’t take my word for it. Read the user reviews (available on the Download page) on their respective pages and see for yourself.

Ad Injection facilitates you to place your ads above, middle or bottom of the fold and even on sidebars/widgets. It gives you control on the number of adverts you want on your page. You can also A/B test advert spots to see which one is performing better.
Here’s a list of screenshots that show the plugins features
Wpstuff.com wrote a brilliant and detailed post on how to effectively implement Ad Injection into your content. However, the only drawback that we could find with this wordpress plugin is that it is very powerful and therefore for advanced users only.

‘How-To’ tutorial for Ad Rotate
The only drawback is that the free version comes with more-than-necessary disabled options which almost makes its use quite restrained. I understand that developers have to make money too but some options concerning reporting and planning should have been allowed to make the plugin more controllable and productive.

It supports HTML, javascript, PHP ad codes and the ‘Ad Zone Selector’ feature helps you drag and select advert spots in the webpage. If you are a beginner and don’t know where to start then don’t worry because the plugin provides default ad places. The dashboard is easy to use yet it provides complex functions for advanced users. An added bonus is that it supports codes for Google DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP).

The author does not share any of your Adsense revenue, so don’t worry about that. Other features include default ad positioning, fixed/random ad positioning, display upto 10 ads, simple configuration with no coding skills required.
It’s it simplicity and ease of use that works very well for Quick Adsense.

Advanced Ads
Last Updated: 2015-1-7
Downloads: 9,800+
Thomas Maier writes in this blog entry “I decided to write my own WordPress plugin to manage and optimize ads. Before that I used some of the plugins above, but they are either outdated or not ment to really increase your income. So I wrote Advanced Ads.”
It is a tool made by publisher for other publishers who faced the same setbacks as him. A unique feature that the plugin has is a user friendly ad optimization and testing option. Other features include multiple ad networks, ad rotation and check ad conditions (how is each ad performing on a page).
Definitely a tool worthy of a try given that it is a powerful yet light weight ad management solution.
