Just download the plugin, go to Option/Random Ads within your wp-admin and enter your ad code (be sure to separate each with <!–– End Ad ––>)
Download:
random-ads.zip

I guess one use scenario for this could be that you could simply use it to rearrange your ads. That might cause readers to pay more attention to ads, since the ad space might look little bit different each time, when they visit your site.
At this point, I don’t have anything advertisements to really benefit from this, but its nice thing to know that tools already exist, if it ever comes a problem.
Definitely a good point. Honestly since I made this plugin and started using it on my own site click-throughs on the ads have gone up, most likely due to stopping ‘banner blindness’ as you stated.
i will try it on my blog, i find here from google.
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
Currently if you put in 20 ads, it will show 20 ads. The only thing the plugin does is show them in a random order. I will keep in mind though your suggestion and in the future it will be added.
Thanks Gary!
