AdRotate Professional: WordPress Ad Scheduling and Placement

AdRotate Professional is the paid edition of AdRotate Banner Manager. Its WordPress dashboard covers ad creation, scheduling, placement, and tracking for self-made banners, local business advertising, affiliate campaigns, Google AdSense, Amazon advertising, Media.net, and other ad networks or affiliate servers.

Build ads and plan delivery

Create unlimited ads and groups. A group can show one or several ads in a selected location. The advert generator lets you create adverts without code knowledge; banner images can be uploaded through the WordPress media manager or the AdRotate Asset Dashboard. Ready-to-use HTML5 ads can be uploaded as ZIP documents, and many advert types can be previewed while editing.

• Rotate ads on each page load or after a chosen number of seconds.
• Schedule campaigns in advance, with multiple schedules per advert and filters for hours of the day and days of the week.
• With the internal tracker, spread impressions across a campaign or throughout the day.

Choose where ads appear

Shortcodes can place ads in posts, pages, widgets, blocks, page builders such as Elementor and WPBakery, and other locations that support shortcodes. WordPress blocks and widgets are also available for individual ads and groups. PHP snippets can place ads directly in theme files.

Post Injection can add adverts to posts and pages automatically. Its extended option also works with WooCommerce products and bbPress forums and topics.

Set targeting and tracking

Controls can display or hide ads on tablets and phones, and banner ads can be hidden from logged-in users. Geo targeting is available for individual adverts through the listed free Geo Targeting service or selected services such as MaxMind GeoIP and Cloudflare.

Track clicks, impressions, or both with AdRotate’s internal statistics, Matomo Analytics, or Google Analytics. The dashboard also manages the ads.txt file and header code snippets from networks such as Google AdSense and Amazon Ads. Options are included to hide adverts from ad blockers and bots or crawlers.

Set up a campaign

Install the add-on and open the AdRotate dashboard. Add banner assets or generate an advert, set any schedules and targeting, then choose a placement method such as a block, widget, shortcode, Post Injection rule, or PHP snippet. Review available previews and tracking options as you prepare the campaign.

AdRotate Professional is described with site-license settings for one, two, or twenty sites. Help resources listed for the product include one-on-one ticket support, documentation, and a support forum.
