8 WP Plugins To Optimize And Monetize Your Blog Sidebar
If you want to make your blog a success, there are several important factors you need to pay attention to. One of these factors is your sidebar, which you can use to optimize your blog, market and/or monetize it.
Below, I listed a couple of my favorite sidebar-related WordPress plugins.
This plugin gives every widget an extra control field called "Widget logic" that lets you control the pages that the widget will appear on.
This way, you can optimize your sidebar and display certain widgets only on the homepage, or only on single post pages, the search results or archive pages, or a combination of pages.
The KB Advanced RSS widget gives you more control over how the feed shows up in your sidebar.
- Decide which RSS fields to display (as opposed to the default RSS widget, which limits you to link, title, and description)
- Decide how to format the fields (it doesn't have to be a list if you don't want it to be)
This WordPress plugin provides multiple options to show the via tags related posts of a post.
It contains a sidebar widget that is only visible when viewing a single post and displays a list of posts that are related with the current post via the tags.
It is also possible to insert the list of related post in a post via a placeholder. You can also embedd the list of related post in template files to add it to the bottom of each post page.

The OIO Publisher plugin looks interesting. I had a quick look at their network which seems to be growing. Have you got any feedback as to how effective it is advertising on some of the blogs in that network?
Another plugin you might like is Display Widgets (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/) – It allows you to display different text widgets in different categories or posts
Very handy for affiliates!

I haven’t used the OIO ublisher marketplace to advertise – I use the script only for showing/selling ads on my blogs.
Thanks for the ti! I’ll be sure to check out the plugin you mentioned
