Insert Seperate Ads for Each Author On Your Blog

Ever thought of making a multi-author blog? Or of inviting other part-time bloggers to post for you blog. If you have, the biggest question is, “What do i offer?”. Usually the answer is revenue, in the form of ad space but to do that you would first have to manually edit your blog’s theme.. alot!

Well the answer to this problem is a simple plugin called Adshare.

Requirements:

WordPress 2.7+
Common Sense
5 minutes of spare time

Installation:

1. Download the plugin here.
2. Extract and copy the files into your Root/Wp-Content/Plugins.
3. Go into your WordPress dashboard and activate the plugin.
4. Go into Settings and in the small menu the opens up underneath it, click Adshare.
5. As shown in the screenshot below, Fill in a Default Adsense ID, now this is the tricky part. You see each adsense account (google) has a specific Pub-Id, its shown in your ad-code as google_ad_client = "pub-#########"; . The Default Ids’ ads will be displayed on pages other than posts for instance, the index page and so on,  so the Owner/Administrator of the blog should insert his Id here.
6. Select a user and enter their Adsense Id here, repeat for all users (even yourself, if you are the administrator)



7. The last step is editing your theme, which is a fairly simple process (so hang in there ). You need to change the Pub-id of each adsense unit that you want to display different ads on, meaning that if you want to share an ad-unit in each post with your authors: go to singlepost.php and find the adcode for that particular unit.Replace google_ad_client = "pub-#########"; With
google_ad_client = "<?php global $pubid; echo $pubid; ?>";

   If you’re trying to insert the ads into a non-template file, insert them by replace the adcode with google_ad_client = "pub-7529558172467941";

And you’re done!
