AdRotate

If ever considering a way to monetize your online activity, AdRotate is a tool to look into if your website management platform of choice is WordPress.

The plugin provides a rich set of features to help webmasters easily manage, organize and embed ads in WordPress.

The free version of AdRotate is available under a standard WordPress GPL-compatible license, while the Pro version requires a paid commercial license to activate.

There are a lot of features that differentiate these two versions, so before committing to either of them, make sure to read the features list.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
