Managing your advertisers
Now you might be thinking why am I posting this in the reviews section. Well because I am about to review a product which I was not paid to use, but I paid to use and it impressed me so much that I am writing this review.
I remember about 10 months ago, when I was very active in the directory industry. I was running a successful directory and making good profit. All the marketing strategies I was using was working and my traffic was crazy high. Alexa around 30k. I had a Personal Message (PM) on phpLD Forum. This guy was no other but the owner of what we know to be OIOPublisher. At that time, I was not that much into blogging per say. All I had was a blog in my directory where I posted tutorials. He said, Syed, I see your marketing strategies and you are doing a good job. I was referred to you by ***** and he said that I should ask you how to promote my new product and if you would help me.
I agreed and helped him out. I gave him a link on my blog in exchange from a link from his site. After a while he said thanks for the help and we both moved our own separate directions. Recently, I was looking for something better to manage my blog ads because Now that I am into serious blogging. I popped open this site OIO Publisher. Now how did I get across this site. I saw multiple blog owners John Cow, Alan at Affiliate Confessions, and so many others have the same type of payment page. I knew it would be a plugin and when i looked in the url I saw OIOpub and I knew it than which site it was from.
This is how the form looks like
Live Preview on Balkhis.
I went back to the site, I was already the member there. I bought myself a license. Yeah for only $37 I was able to get the license for unlimited domains. That I think is a pretty sweet deal. They allow me to submit my listing into their marketplace, so if anyone wants to advertise at Balkhis, they can find me there as well as on my website. The best part is that I dont have to pay any fees. Like how I would be paying adtoll their share if I put my site up for ads there, and I didn’t like adtolls terms that much. This plugin gives me full freedom.
I installed it in my wordpress and saw everything is so flexible. It can be customized in any ways you want. I contacted Simon, the owner of OIOPublisher… He remembered me ofcourse :p I am a type of person if you know you won’t forget me. I asked him some questions I had about the product and he answered them promptly. I gave him my positive review as well.
Just a token of appreciation I am writing this post because that plugin is just the best. Take out the middle man give you the freedom. Heck I think you should go and buy it now if you are into serious blogging.
This plugin is well recommended by me and many other famous bloggers. You can see their review here.

Heard many good reviews about this.. But i see that the ads are redirected to the advertiser site through oiopublisher.
Wont publishers prefer direct dofollow links rather than through this?
It is not redirected to oiopublisher. If you are looking at the link which says OIO-Pub direct … thats the type of plugin that you can install, and it is in the directroy which name is OIOpubdirect and it have a file called purcahse.php
The ads are redirected through a tracker file, if the user chooses to enable that module. All that does is log the ad click (same as openads does), but it then performs a 301 redirect to the target url.
Nothing goes through the OIOpublisher site though, the idea is to keep everything local, and in the blogger’s control.
thank you Simon for the clarification. It is nice to see you on the blog
Nice one syed, i think it is much easier to have the plugin. Will check it out soon.
hi syed,
this is plugins?
support for phpld v3.3?
thanks
Not sure about phpLD 3.3, but definately for wordpress it is. I believe if you ask him that question he would be able to answer better than I can.
This plugin looks really useful, but could you use it to manage multiple sites? and can it work on sites other than wordpress blogs?
You can have this plugin installed on unlimited domains that use wordpress. I dont know if the plugin is for any other software or script.
Im sure that it only works with Wordpress but considering so many blogs use Wordpress, this should not be a big surprise.
[...] system when they are already popular and can get direct sales. Specially as I mentioned before the wordpress plugin that lets you do it all automatically. I checked out the system interface which was very easy to [...]
Is there any other free tool similar to this?
Or if anyone could invite me over at blogads, i would be more than happy!
OIO publisher is gettin very famous these days. Maybe I should check it out some time soon!
Thats a great piece of software/script. I think that more bloggers need to use this as it helps eliminate the middle man.
Nice post, its always good to know an easier way of doing things, and with the plugins it seems the links are transfered through easier.
Superb !
I was looking for a Review and at last i found it here, excellent plugin for wordpress, I’ll definitely be trying it out soon for my blog
Cheers
