Joomla Lovers May Have The Greatest iPhone App Ever

For the first time in my geek life, I am seriously tempted to switch away from WordPress, all because of one iPhone app.

Ad Management Plug-Ins And Tutorials – SmashingMagazine.com

Cameron Chapman over on SmashingMagazine.com has just posted a great list of ad management plug-ins for WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, Movable Type, and some general ad managements tutorials and guides.

But you have a ton of other options for displaying ads on your website, from using other ad networks to selling and managing banner ads yourself. There are plug-ins for virtually every CMS and blogging platform out there that allow you to rotate banner ads or insert blocks of ad code.

Whatever blogging platform you use, there’s something in this list to help you manage ad placement and management. Well worth a look, especially if you’re unsure just what types of ads you want to display on your site or what sort of ad networks are out there beyond Google AdSense.
