WordPress plugin Simple Ads Manager

January 1, 2011 by 479 Comments

AdvertismentUntil recently I used the plugin “Advertising Manager”. However, I am not quite satisfied the set of its capabilities. For example, the inability to display scheduled advertisements, or the inability to display ads in the posts only certain categories. Etc.

That’s why I wrote my own plugin to control the advertising on the blog – Simple Ads Manager. I tried to create a plugin that will satisfy most requests of any blogger to manage advertising on the blog. And I think I managed it.

Simple Ads Manager is easy to use plugin providing a flexible logic of displaying advertisements.

The Concept

The main object of the plugin is “Ads Place“. Each Ads Place is a container for the advertisements and provides the logic of the show and rotation. In addition, one of the parameters of advertising space is “patch ad code”, ie ad to be shown if and only if the logic of ads this Ads Place does not permit to show none of the advertisements contained in this Ads Place. One Ads Place can contain any number of objects “advertisement”.

Object “advertisement” rigidly attached to his container “Ads Place”. Its parameters determine frequency (weight) of displaying and limiting displaying from “show all pages” to “show the articles with ID … ” and show from date to date (the schedule).

Additional object “Ads Zone” is selector developed for increasing the flexibility of displaying ads. This optional object can be useful for conducting advertising campaigns using a large number of promotional materials.

The additional object “Ads Block” allows to display the block of advertisements.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to the folder /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin on the Plugins page
  3. Configure your plugin to meet your needs
  4. Create an Ads Spaces in the right quantity and fill them with advertisements

Options

Go to the page Ads->Settings

Views per Cycle – the number of impressions an ad for one cycle of rotation, provided that this ad has maximum weight (the activity). In other words, if the number of hits in the series is 1000, an ad with a weight of 10 will be shown in 1000, and the ad with a weight of 3 will be shown 300 times.

Do not set this parameter to a value less than the maximum number of visitors which may simultaneously be on your site – it may violate the logic of rotation.

Not worth it, though it has no special meaning, set this parameter to a value greater than the number of hits your web pages during a month. Optimal, perhaps, is the value to the daily shows website pages.

Display Ad Source in – you can display advertisement target in new or current window (tab). Select target window (tab).

Auto Inserting Settings – here you can select the Ads Places and allow the display of their ads before and after the  content of single post.

Google DFP Settings – if you want to use codes of Google DFP rotator, you must allow it’s using and define your pub-code.

Statistics Settings

Bots and Crawlers detection

For obtaining of more exact indexes of statistics and incomes it is preferable to exclude data about visits of bots and crawlers from the data about all visits of your blog. If enabled and bot or crawler is detected, hits of ads won’t be counted. Select accuracy of detection but use with caution – more exact detection requires more server resources.

Allow Bots and Crawlers detection – If allowed, hits of detected bot won’t be counted.

Accuracy of Bots and Crawlers Detection:

  • Inexact detection – This method is based on an analysis of the request header. Inaccurate method.
  • Exact detection – This method uses the Browser library by Chris Schuld for detection of bots. Recommended.
  • More exact detection – This method uses “browscap” data for bots detection. Very exact and very slow method. If browscap not defined in your php.ini, this method is unavailable.

Display of Currency:

  • Auto – auto detection of currency from blog settings.
  • USD – Forcing the display of currency to U.S. dollars.
  • EUR – Forcing the display of currency to Euro.

Ads Place creation and configuration

Go to your list of Ads Places (Ads -> Ads Places) and click the “Add New Place”.  In the opened editor window configure current Ad Place.

Enter a name and a description of the Ads Place. In principle, it is not mandatory parameters, because these parameters don’t influence anything, but experience suggests that after a while all IDs usually will be forgotten  and such information may be useful.

Ads Place Size – in this version is only for informational purposes only, but in future I plan to use this option. It is desirable to expose the real size.

Ads Place Patch – it’s an ad that will appear in the event that the logic of basic ads outputing of this Ads Place on the current page will not be able to choose a single basic ad for displaying. For example, if all basic announcements are set to displaying only on archives pages or single pages, in this case the patch ad of Ads Place will be shown on the Home page. Conveniently to use the patch ad of Ads Place where you sell the advertising place for a limited time – after the time expiration of ordered ad will appear patch ad. It may be a banner leading to your page of advertisement publication costs or a banner from AdSense.

Patch can be defined:

  • as combination of the image URL and target page URL
  • as HTML code or javascript code
  • as name of Google DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP) block

If you select the first option (image mode), tools to download/choosing of downloaded image banner become available for you.

Codes – as Ads Place can be inserted into the page code not only as widget, but as a short code or by using function, you can use code “before” and “after” for centering or alignment of Ads Place on the place of inserting or for something else you need. Use HTML tags.

Advertisement creation and configuration

Go to the list of Ads Places (Ads -> Ads Places), move the mouse to the desired Ads Place, select in the row menu that appears “View Ads” for the transition to the advertisements list of this Ads Place or “Add Ad” for the transition to the editor of a new ad. If you went to the list of ads, click on “Add New Ad”.

Enter a name and a description of the advertisement. These parameters are optional, because don’t influence anything, but help in the visual identification of the ad (do not forget which is which).

Ad Code – code can be defined as a combination of the image URL and target page URL, or as HTML code, javascript code, or PHP code (for PHP-code don’t forget to set the checkbox labeled “This code of ad contains PHP script). If you select the first option (image mode) you can keep statistics of clicks and also tools for uploading/selecting the downloaded image banner becomes available to you.

Restrictions of Advertisement Showing

Ad Weight – coefficient of frequency of show of the advertisement for one cycle of advertisements rotation.
0 – ad is inactive, 1 – minimal activity of this advertisement, 10 – maximal activity of this ad.

Restrictions by the type of pages – select restrictions:

  1. Show ad on all pages of blog
  2. Show ad only on pages of this type – ad will appear only on the pages of selected types
  3. Show ad only in certain posts – ad will be shown only on single posts pages with the given IDs (ID items separated by commas, no spaces)

Additional restrictions

  1. Show ad only in single posts or categories archives of certain categories – ad will be shown only on single posts pages or category archive pages of the specified categories
  2. Show ad only in single posts or authors archives of certain authors – ad will be shown only on single posts pages or author archive pages of the specified authors

Use the schedule for this ad – if necessary, select checkbox labeled “Use the schedule for this ad” and set start and finish dates of ad campaign.

Use limitation by hits – Use this parameter for limiting displaying of ad by hits.

Use limitation by clicks – Use this parameter for limiting displaying of ad by clicks.

Prices – your prices for that ad.

  • Ad placement per month – used only for scheduled ads.
  • Per Thousand Hits – Not only humans visit your blog, bots and crawlers too. In order not to deceive an advertiser, you must enable the detection of bots and crawlers.
  • Per Click – To calculate the earnings on clicks, you must enable counting of clicks for that ad.

Ads Zone creation and configuration

Ads Zone is selector that used to select the appropriate Ads Place for each type of displayed page.

Go to your list of Ads Zones (Ads -> Ads Zones) and click the “Add New Zone”.  In the opened editor window configure current Ads Zone.

Enter a name and a description of the Ads Zone.

Select default Ads Place.

Select the appropriate Ads Places for each type of page, category or author or leave “Default” value. You can block displaying Ads Place on needed type of page selecting “None” value.

Ads Block creation and configuration

Ads Block used for outputting block of ads.

Go to your list of Ads Blocks (Ads -> Ads Blocks) and click the “Add New Block”.  In the opened editor window configure current Ads Block.

Enter a name and a description of the Ads Block.

Enter number of lines and columns of Ads Block. After changing these properties you must save Ads Block settings before using Ads Block Editor.

Configure styles for Ads Block and Block’s items. Use Stylesheet rules for defining these properties. For example: url(sheep.png) center bottom no-repeat for background property or 5px solid red for border property.

Important Note: As the Ads Block is the regular structure, predefined styles of individual items for drawing Ads Block’s elements aren’t used. Define styles for Ads Block Items on Ads Block Editor page!

Customize Ads Block structure (select Ads Place or Ads Zone or Single Ad for each item of block).

Usage

There are three variants for output: widgets, short codes, the function… and auto inserting…

Widgets

Go to the widgets page (Appearance->Widgets). In the area of available widgets locate widget “Ads Place” and drag it to the necessary sidebar. You can also use widgets “Ads Zone” and “Single Ad”.

Configure your widget:

  • Title – title of widget. If not needed, leave empty.
  • Ads Place – select Ads Place from a list of all Ads Places.
  • Hide widget style – in some theme templates it is necessary for the sidebar in the blog header.
  • Allow using previously defined “before” and “after” codes of Ads Place – these are the codes that are defined for each Ads Place as “code before” and “code after”.

Widgets “Ads Zone” and “Single Ad” can be configured in the same way.

Shortcodes

Shortcode “sam” enables you to insert Ads Place anywhere in the post’s content.

[sam id=1 codes='false']
  • id – ID of Ads Place
  • codes – allow or not allow to use Ads Place codes “before” and “after”. Default “false”

Shortcode “sam_zone” enables you to insert Ads Zone anywhere in the post’s content.

[sam_zone id=1 codes='false']
  • id – ID of Ads Zone
  • codes – allow or not allow to use Ads Place codes “before” and “after”. Default “false”

Shortcode “sam_ad” enables you to insert Single Ad anywhere in the post’s content.

[sam_ad id=1 codes='false']
  • id – ID of Ad
  • codes – allow or not allow to use Ads Place codes “before” and “after”. Default “false”

Shortcode “sam_block” enables you to insert Ads Block anywhere in the post’s content.

[sam_block id=1]
  • id – ID of Ads Zone

Output functions

In order that would insert Ads in any place of theme template, use the drawAdsPlace, drawAdsZone or drawAd functions.

Output functions are defined as follows:

  • args – array, which may include id (ID of Ads Place) or/and name (the name of Ads Place, not recommended)
  • codes – bool|array, allow or not allow to use Ads Place codes “before” and “after”. Default “false”. If bool value, codes ‘before’ and ‘after’ will be received from Ads Place record. If array value, codes ‘before’ and ‘after’ will be received from array.

Auto Inserting

Designed for automatic insertion of ad codes before and after the content of single post. Configuring is on plugin settings page.

Miscellaneous

At first glance, it might seem that the plugin is too heavy – as did 500 kb codes. But do not be terrified ahead of time, the plugin is using the technology of saving resources. In other words, in the Face Side is loading only 23 kb of codes, of which 21 kb PHP-code and 2 kb javascript code. Everything else are extentions for the admin mode, and even then, not all are loading en masse, but only if necessary.

    Hi,
    I’m trying to use Simple Ad Manager wer 1.1.38 on WP ver. 3.3 
    I’ve created four Ad Places:
    120 x 60 button with one GIF – works well
    468 x 60 banner with four rotating GIFs – works well
    Two Google AdSense ads – showed up only few times and stopped working.
    Google ad code is pasted into “AdsPlace Pach” in HTML or Javascript Code  

    Any reason why the ads stopped showing?
    Thanks

    I have successfully used Simple Ads Manger on one site but now am having trouble in a second. When I try to add a new Ad Place, it reloads the page and says, “Ads Place Data Updated.” but the count still says (0) and nothing has been created. Do you know of anything that would cause that?

    I found a major problem with the plugin.  If access to wp-admin is blocked for the public (which happens if you limit access to that folder by .htaccess, a very valuable security step), then the admin-ajax.php script cannot be loaded and click-tracking does not occur.  Suggestions???? Help??

    Excusez-moi pour le français, je ne parle pas anglais.
    Est-ce qu’il est possible de faire tourner les pubs, même si on dne recharge pas la page internet, avec un réglage de 4 ou 5 secondes par exemple.

    Merci d’avance pour votre réponse et bravo pour ce plugin, il est vrais efficace.

    And I have another sugegstion for you: Im sure ots possible to add third parameter to function that calls banners, ad zones or other stuff. That parameter should count number of words after which ad should appear. It will let user to insert banner into text of post automatically.
    For example I have several sites with more that 1000 pages, but it`s absolutely impossible to insert ad codes into middle of posts manually.

            Saying frankly, I see no difference:
            I have three categories and three banners
            One zone that says: show me banner 1 on all pages as default
            show me banner 2 in category 1
            show me banner 3 in category 2 and 3
            Im also useing widget Ad Zone which is placed in sidebar and function calling same ad zone in template
            Result:
            on the homepage I don            t see deafult ad in widget – no ad widget at all and the same situation on first category page.
            I see widget only on second and third category page but all the ads are being rotated there  and I don`t see ad places in articles of any category in place where ad zone function iserted.
            Wp is being operated on my denwer installation.

              To get started please read this article…

              For essence the question:
              You must understand that the permitting logic of Ads Zones (AZ) can not overlap the permitting logic of Ads Places (AP). AZ is a higher level object and, therefore, can only enhance the restrictive logic of AP.

            And after I defined ad places for ad zone in article and page, i can see random ads from 2 and third ad places in article text.
            So, what shall I do to make targeting work?

    Hi! Your plugin is awesome! It’s the exactly i needed but one more thing… Is there any way to include/exclude not only _all_ archieves of custom taxonomy but exactly the entered category ID in this taxonomy?
    I’m running wp e-commerce plugin that uses wpsc_product_category taxonomy for products categories. And now all i can do is showing ads on each category… But I need to show different ads on different categories. Is it possible?

          I repeat these properties on my test blog and all works (ad on single posts, include custom type posts and default ad on non-post pages)…

            hi,
             
            its got resolved once i removed same code from AD PLACE & kept only AD LIST.
            I had kept as it states below.
            The patch (default advertisement) will be shown that if the logic of the plugin can not show any contained advertisement on the current page of the document.
             
            Thanks for the help, its working fine now.

    Hi, 

    I am testing your plugin, and it looks nice. I have one question though: If I would like to show like 12 ads on the same page, I use Ad Block, but: I would like the ads to show randomly and not at the same place everytime. Is this possible?

      As I understood, it`s possible, but only if you put same banner to all the places or if you use ad block, for example 2×2 and in every ad place you should put same ad place id.

    By the way, Minimus, your blog is redirecting mobile traffic to troyan software download page.

    hi minimus,
    is it possible to let the ads rotate e.g. after every 30 secs and not only after reload?

    thanks…

    Hi

    I am having trouble adding an ad to my header using the following code:

    I have set up a single ads place with a single ad in it.

    To test that it worked within a post I added the following code:


    and the ad was displayed.

    However, when I have tried to add into the template (I am using WP-Clear and it has a settings page with space for ad code) the ad is not displayed and all I can see is the following text:

    The source code of the page is as follows:

    I am sure I am missing something really obvious but would welcome any advice.

    Thanks

    Mark

        Hi Jon – No I still have the problem which is frustrating as it is holding up the redeveopment of my site. If I don’t get a response or any pointers I may have to find an alternative plugin which I don;t really want to have to do. Regards Mark

      Are you sure that you can use the PHP-codes in the template this way? I see that on the template configuration page of advertisements you can use HTML or javascript tags only!

    Hello, looks like a great plugin, thanks for sharing your hard work. I am currently using basic banner rotators on a blog, and wanted to know if your plugin is able to display Flash banners (SWF). Sorry if this is already stated but I did not come across it on the features list, FAQ or comments in here :)

    I’ve just upgraded SAM to the latest version and now I am getting the errors

    “Database table wp_sam_ads hasn’t been upgraded!
    Database table wp_sam_zones hasn’t been upgraded!  ”

    Can you give any advice on how to fix this?

    Thanks,
