What’s up Max Banner Ads!

by Melvin · Jul 1, 2008

So everyone seems to be intrigued with this new plugin from Maxpress. Max Banner Ads is a plugin that makes it very easy to add and rotate banners in your wordpress blog. The good thing is you don’t need to alter any codes in your theme. Sounds good right? That is just the prelude. Another thing that it does is that it automatically tracks the statistics of the specific banner. It shows the impression, CTR and so on. After reading Chow’s post about it I immediately take a look at the site, grab my copy of it and installed it.

As you can see, the plugin automatically lets you add banners from almost everywhere in your site.  You can rotate as many as you want. And add the fact that it is free. Yes, it’s free. So you’re thinking now everything about it is positive? Well not quite. The plugin after activating it, actually is not still activated. You will be asked to subscribe to Maxpress newsletter, and it’s not optional. If you don’t want to, then you cannot use the plugin! For me I find very annoying. That simple subscription would probably have a huge impact on those who want to use the plugin. Another thing is that under the banner there is a link ala Project Wonderful. As of now I haven’t tried if you can remove the linkback to their site. Geez…

So all in all I find this plugin still useful. Though, OIO direct is still better by far, Max Banner Ads is free and would be very beneficial to those who do not have a $37. Yes, the subscription looks spammy and the linkback is annoying but sure the plugin worths a great look. If you have any other things to say about this plugin then say it…

I’m a WordPress Noob

by Melvin · May 31, 2008

So, like what I’ve said in my previous post, I have my blogs hosted at blogger.com. This is basically my first blog hosted at wordpress and I am really like a kid learning it’s abc’s. But of course, I can say that using wordpress is very easy. As long as you know the basics, you can be somehow comfortable using it…

Right now, I’m installing some great wp plugins that can really be helpful in terms of everything. So far I have sitemap generator, the all in one seo pack and the next gen gallery and of course matt’s akismet spam killer. So what else do you think is worthy to be included here?
