WP Photo Ads 1.0.a Released

Woot! After about a month of brainstorming and development (pretty much crunched into two days of intensive testing and trial/error) we’re ready to release the first version of WP Photo Ads, a WordPress plugin that will allow WordPress users to easily change every image link on their blog, point these links to a page that’s fully customizable and thus give them the ability to ad advertising on these image pages. This can drastically up the amount of ad impressions on specific types of sites, but will pretty much have a positive impact on the revenue stream of every WordPress site this plugin is installed on…

Features of this first release

  • WP Photo Ads works retro-active. Older posts with “normal” image links will be changed once the plugin is installed, upping the earning potential of your old blog entries.
  • WP Photo Ads will not touch images NOT linking to their own full version. If you’re linking images to their full version on another site, or to its source on another blog — these links will remain untouched.
  • WP Photo Ads is full customizable. The image file that will be used to show your large image version is very easy to edit, and you can even build a new one from scratch to fully match your design. For the unexperienced users, we do have a standard template available with the plugin.

Installation notes

  • Download the plugin.
  • Unzip the whole folder in your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  • Upload the image.php file in the “domain root” folder to your blog root, or to whereever you want this file to be located (or create your own image.php file!)
  • Change two parameters in the image.php file.
  • Go to the WP Photo Ads Options page under the Settings tab in your wordpress, and set the url for the image.php file.
  • You should be done!
