I have used Adrotate since I started working with WordPress and found no better WordPress plugin for Ads management. We all know there are lots of plugins both free and premium to show ads on our blogs. Though Adrotate is my favorite Ad management plugin, but the decision lies on the individual requirements.
I specially have to thank Arnan De Gans for creating such a wonderful plugin
AdRotate Features
There are many features which are integrated recently I am going to run down whole list but I will list some important features.
- Show random ads all over your site
- Follow the clicks, impressions and CTR on a per ad basis
- Unlimited widgets option for display Ads in Sidebar
- Blocks of ads
- Ad grouping
- Freedom using PHP or short codes
- Global Ad Report
- Easily add any ads like affiliate banner, google Adsense etc.
- Set an end date for ads (expiration date)
- Email and Dashboard notifications
Installing Adrotate WordPress Plugin
Installing AdRotate plugin is fairly simply and there is no extra efforts required, just upload the plugin folder to plugin directory via FTP and activate the plugin from the plugins page in dashboard.
Adrotate creates “banners” folder by itself in wp-content folder, if it doesn’t exist you need create the banner folder using your FTP client or cPanel
I will be posting a detailed video tutorial on setting up the AdRotate plugin and Ad management.

Thanks Imran, will do :)
By the way I think you might have the same problem I had on your blog regarding commentLuv, might be due to an update you performed on it recently, other people were having the same problem too.
commentLuv suddenly disappeared from your older posts and not showing up in new posts, I wrote a brief article on how to fix it here:
