AdSanity: The BEST Way To Display and Rotate Ads On Your WordPress Website

December 13, 2011 by Blair Williams · Leave a Comment

Who do you know that is writing a blog for their business and doesn’t want to make money? Stupid question huh?

We all know the best fix for this — get some ads up on your site, right? Have you tried doing that? There’s all kinds of HTML to copy & paste, then you have to figure out how to put the ads on the sidebar of your site (or other places) and then figure out how to rotate ads — trying to manage ads manually can be an absolute nightmare — gah.

Well, my good friends, Brandon & Jeff over at PixelJar have now created a plugin that is in my opinion the perfect addition to WordPress for displaying, rotating and tracking ads on your website — its called AdSanity. [Read more...]

Pretty Link Bugs Squashed

March 22, 2011 by Blair Williams · 28 Comments

Today we released Pretty Link version 1.4.56. It fixes numerous bugs including:

Pretty Link (Lite and Pro) is now 100% compatible with WordPress 3.1 and Multi-Site. Pretty Link has been running well with WordPress 3.1 but these Pretty Link fixes have been put in place so that future updates will work properly (especially when a Pretty Link release updates the database).
Link slug availability routines have been shored up to allow pretty links from being able to utilize all slugs that truly don’t conflict with page, post, category and tag slugs.
Fixed link rotation form in Pretty Link Pro so that the link weights won’t reset when the page is reloaded.
Fixed a minor auto link creation issue that affected posts when the Default Group was set to “None” in Pretty Link Pro.
Made several modifications to the hit resetting routines especially when Simple Click Tracking is enabled.
Made several enhancements to the Keyword Replacement Routines in Pretty Link Pro.

We recommend that all Pretty Link Lite & Pro users upgrade to 1.4.56.

Reports about this release that have been coming in from users this morning have been very positive … so you have no excuse but to upgrade …

Where Did Pretty Link Cloaking and the Pretty Bar Go?

September 24, 2010 by Blair Williams · 120 Comments

This morning Pretty Link disappeared from the WordPress.org plugin repository because it didn’t comply with a new, apparently undocumented policy that doesn’t allow plugins to cloak links. Pretty Link wasn’t the only plugin affected by this policy change, wordpress.org removed all plugins from the repository that allowed users to cloak links.

I’ve been working with the guys at wordpress.org this morning to get Pretty Link back on the repository. The only way to do this was to remove link cloaking, pretty bar and pixel tracking from the Pretty Link Lite versions 1.4.51 and beyond.

How will this change affect me?

Here are the facts you need to know about this significant change: [Read more...]
