You created an awesome blog, but what it still lacks is its ability to manage advertisements. Advertisements or sponsorships are the perfect way to monetize your blog. While there are numbers of plugins available for the same but question is what and in which way you can manage ads with one of the best available plugin AdRotate Plugin in WordPress. In this tutorial, I am going to talk about the same.
AdRotate is one of the simplest plugin to use. Despite it brings a huge larger chunk of ability with it, but thanks to the way it gets developed, it is the priority advertisement plugin which anyone wants to have on board. Assuming that you had download, installed and activated the plugin, I am beginning the process.

Installation and Configuration

- On the Plugins page click “Add New” and select “Upload”.
- Upload the adrotate-pro.zip file and wait for WordPress to tell you it’s finished. This may take a few seconds.
- Once done, click “Activate Plugin”.
- When activated, AdRotate (Pro) will install the nessesary tables to your database and set up the menus.
- Pro: Navigate to “AdRotate” > “Settings” and activate your license to receive premium support and update notifications.
Creating And Organizing Advertisements
- On activation, you will notice a tab name “AdRotate” on your dashboard.
- To start with click on “Manage Ads” option under the plugin tab and then at top click “Add New.”
- Here you will be asked to fill in information regarding the advertisement which you want to add in.
- Add a title, your ad code and fill in the display options.
- Once you have, say three advertisements in place, it will be better to organize them into “groups” so that you can begin with displaying rotating ads.
- To make this happen, select the “Manage Groups” option from the dashboard tab and click “Add New” at the top.
- With doing this, now all advertisements in this group will be rotated in one single spot.
Summary & Review
AdRotate Plugin without a doubt is the best available advertisement plugin. Choosing this one as your ad solution plugin is the right choice for both beginners’ blog as well as advance huge level blogs. I highly recommend using the plugin.

Summary & Review
Livefyre is a great commenting system with an extremely strong and powerful real-time engine which comes equipped with a nice looking user interface. Livefyre is well good enough for target bunch of people as I feel not everyone looking for real-time activities as say for a new blog, which hardly make its existence in the web-o-sphere requires time to influence its visitors while overall it’s good.
