I’m noticing that this plugin/widget does not show up on a lot of browsers – Firefox, Chrome, etc. It’s not that the code doesn’t work, it seems to be getting blocked by some anti-adware. Is there anyway to “sanitize” the code so that doesn’t happen?

Hello, I came across this page looking for exactly what this plugin seems to do – and that is rotate adverts in a sidebar widget.
But, can you please let me know if this plugin is up to date for 2011?
Or does anyone know of a similar plugin, please?

I found the problem. The client added a redirect to his website and each Ad Rotator link used an absolute URL. Changed to relative URL’s and now it works again.

I realize this is an old plugin and the last comment here was in November of 2009. But I’m hoping the author is still monitoring comments. I just installed the plugin and have it working well. I’ve put three Ad Rotator widgets in my sidebar, since I want three ads stacked vertically. I populated each widget with the same content (10 images wrapped with the appropriate html and separated by ). My goal is to have each ad appear in any one of the three positions randomly so that over time, each one gets equal exposure in each of the positions. The only problem is that on some page reloads, the same ad appears in two widgets. I know this is just because of the nature of randomization and the relatively small number of ads I have. But is there a way to link each instance of the widget and have each one omit an ad (and pick another) if another widget has already randomly selected it? Even running 10 ads in three spots, I can get the same ad in two spots fairly frequently. That’s what I’m trying to eliminate. Any ideas? Thanks!

[…] you find another theme that doesn’t include adsense, I’d recommend checking out the Ad Rotator. I haven’t tried it out, but it is supposed to be able to include ads into any WordPress […]

Having two plugins with the same name is bad enough, but making one rewriting over the other is very ugly thing in life. Having to redownload and reinstall the old one just because you thing widgets are nice is not appreciated.

I installed this plugin this morning because I was being prompted to upgrade from the old Ad Rotator plugin at http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/wordpress-plugin-adrotator-rotate-your-ads-including-adsense-dynamically/
This plugin appears to do exactly what that one had done. The only difference between the two is that this one works in a widget whereas the old one worked with a template tag. I had gotten around the template tag issue when widgets were introduced by writing my own widget for the old plugin so I essentially had the same functionality on my website before I installed this one. And I have not had to update it for different WordPress versions (while this one seems to need updating occasionally). I’ll use this one for a while to see if there’s any real benefit to it but will probably switch back after a while.

And FYI – if you’re running the old version and want to keep it without getting prompted to upgrade to this one simply change the filename of the old one.

I’m using this plugin in all of my websites.. The beauty is this will decrease down the ad blindness and users tends to click more on ads..More over other benifit is I can keep track of CTR and check which ad is performing well and remove the non performer..
My Kudos to this pligin

Looks like you are using outdated WordPress version. You should update it to at least 2.8.0 to use this plugin. And I think you should do the upgrade, because there are many known security holes in old version, and your blog could be hacked by someone.
