Automate Ad Buying Process with OIOpublisher WordPress Plugin

Everyone knows that private advertising on a site has far more potential to make lots of money for your blog than the Ad Networks do.  With private advertising, you don’t need to share the earnings.  You get 100%.  The problem is it can be difficult to manage all of the different types of ads without an ad network.  

Enter OIOpublisher. 

OIOpublisher is a WordPress plugin that automates the process of selling ads on your site.  It allows you to directly sell text ads, banner ads, in-content ads, and paid reviews.  It also provides the ability to sell custom items such as digital downloads.

Here are the features from the OIOpublisher website.

• OIO can be used as a standalone platform, or as a WordPress plugin
• Sell text ads, banner ads, in-content ads and paid reviews
• Sell custom items; from custom ads to digital downloads
• Entirely automated; purchases and epxirations all handled automatically
• Your own ad server; javascript output lets you display ads on any website
• Break ads into zones; display ads easily over multiple sites
• Click and impression tracking; weekly ad reports emailed to advertisers
• No empty ad slots; show your own default ads until slots are purchased
• Ad status management; approve / reject / expire / renew / validate ads
• Setup your own affiliate program; reward people for selling your ads
• Easily extend functionality; modules let developers go further I
• Integrated marketplace; let us help you advertise your ads

The cost of the plugin is $47, which is not that much considering that it does for you and the license you get with it.  The license is a multi-use license which means you can run it on any website that you own.  You also get a lifetime membership and access to the marketplace. 

I purchased OIOpublisher this morning and am working on integrating it into my sites.  So far, it is fairly easy to setup and has decent documentation.  The support forum also has a lot of useful information. 

For $47, you really can’t go wrong with this tool.  The first private ad sale could easily make up the cost of OIOpublisher.
