Hi Folks,

When wordpress first came to us, all I could think about was having a plugin that would let me rotate banners, track the clicks and let me put them anywhere I wanted.

I thought about posting a job on rentacoder (a place to hire people to make scripts) but never got around to it. You know how that goes right? You think of a good idea and then you go feed the dog and there goes that great idea!

This week I found what seems to be the solution to my want. I’ve yet to test it but it’s looking real good.
Here it is http://www.maxblogpress.com/plugins/mba/ Give it a try.

Why I want to do this is because we will never know what our readers will respond to unless we expose them to many choices and track it.

With just putting one banner on your site and tracking it, it’s gonna take a long time and a lot of traffic to see some results. You have to remember later to check the stats and then decide to change the banner or not, which is a process. With the above plugin you’ll spend a little time setting everything up but once it’s done it’s done.

I promise I am going to get this plugin going because I know the value of doing so and I hope you join me and give it a go on one of your blogs too. I’ve been able to do this with stright HTML sites with a simple PHP include but with a blog, I’ve yet to do it.

Here is something that needs to be tested: Slip in a banner to something that is not targeted to your niche. Something like credit repair or a banner for a free trial to a dating site. I think you may be surprised to see people clicking and buying.These are called “General Offers”.
