What I did today was something I am sure that you are going to like it, specially if your blog is running by Wordpress. I am going to tell you in this post about how to stripe ads on your blog without annoying your blog visitors in a very gentle way.
The amazing MaxBlogPress Stripe Ad plugin for Wordpress was my way to do that, as you can see the red area on top of my blog. I can not add multiple rotating advertising messages on this area and display them the way I want and need, I can set the importance of each ad using the “Weight” function on my Wordpress plugin control panel. Yes this is how to stripe a single line of advertising message on your blog.
There is also some advanced options for MaxBlogPress Stripe Ad plugin, here’s what you can do with the advanced settings page for Stripe Ads:
- Create an unlimited amount of stripe ads
- Choose the frequency of display and give each ad it’s own weight
- Customize the look and feel of the ads to match your blog’s layout
- Choose to have it static, or to hover at the top of you blog while scrolling down
- Advertise an affiliate link, links to your own products, or special “timed” offers and promotions
The way you will use MaxBlogPress Stripe Ad is limited by your imagination only, there is a lot that you can do, here some examples:
- View your affiliate links to your users, so you can make money from their purchases.
- Add a text link to your best social networks like Digg or stumbleupon for bookmaking or submitting your posts by visitors.
- One thing that I would love to do if I have a decent traffic is to sale traffic to other websites or blogs.
- Draw attention to a certain post or page on your blog for example a contest page, your services or a poll.
- Show your disclaimers or Terms of Service (TOS)
Now you know about it, and as I said before.. using this plugin is limited by your imagination only and this is the way to stripe a single line of advertising message on your blog.

I usually don’t like the stripe ads on most web pages where I’ve seen them used, because they often look odd and out of place with the general design of the site. But it looks very good on yours! It blends perfectly with the rest of the site and is very smart and inviting! Well done.

This does blend into the blog quite well. Others I have seen are too annoying but then those sites are only built for making money and are not informative in the first place.

I use a similar plugin on my blog. It even allows people to flick through the ads without refreshing the page.

This is very nice, Hesham. Blogs with pop-up ads always annoy me but I understand that they are running them for money making so this plugin is a perfect solution.

I usually hate stripe ads because they follow you throughout the page when you’re trying to get away from them. I noticed yours didn’t follow me down; that’s not so bad.

Great plugin for WP. Unfortunately, these plugins are normally not available for other platforms and makes non-WP users only drool:) I agree with some comments above that this is normally an annoying way of showing ads (like adjix), but you have managed to blend it among your theme nicely.

As DiTesco had put it, non-WP users could only drool over the plugin now. Will bookmark this for future usage. Who knows? Thanks for a fantastic review. Hope to try that out one day.

We are big fans of MaxBlogPress. They make several great plugins and we use the Ad Stripe on most of our sites as well. It is very non-obtrusive… which we like, and I think most visitors would agree.

Hey everyone. I’m hoping to meet new friends here so drop me a note when you
get a chance.
I hope to make some quality posts soon but first I have to look around the forum and
familiarize myself with everyone and the forum.
Bye for now. lol

That is really a profitable plug-in & your description of multiple uses is certainly an added advantage for readers & wp bloggers. What an innovative idea?
