Great Ad Plugin

August 26, 2020
The plugin is excellent, basic and yet powerful. Hope your next update will include country location of clicks

A great advertising manager

August 13, 2020
It is a great advertising management plugin.. I used some plugins before it and then deleted all , and kept Adrotate, it is simple and professionally working - even in the free copy. I recommend to have professional copy after 2 - 3 months of operating your blog, it is a must have plugin.

Not so simple

July 14, 2020
The plugin has a lot of options and even more on the pro version, but the documentation is lacking and it's somewhat difficult to operate and set up.

Great features and lightweight

July 7, 2020
I've recently been testing a lot of plugins to manage advertising and very glad I stumbled across this one, it deserves to come up higher in searches. Many of the plugins I tried were either overly complicated or bloated, or reserved what I consider to be the two most important features (scheduling and click-tracking) for their "pro/premium" version. But THIS one - AdRotate - is just really well thought out, clean and simple, and easy to use without needing much in the way of documentation or tutorials (I'm sure that's available, I just found it very intuitive to use). It's free version has all the features I need to get started, but does offer more features in a Pro version that I'll probably update to at some (near) future date. Kudos to the developer for creating a nice lightweight plugin that covers the basic features one would need to simply display ads on your site, and know how many people click on them.
