For a website publisher who has many websites on different subjects and is using a wide variety of affiliate programs, and also using several individual and network affiliate programs, managing all of those affiliate ads can be a real nightmare. When one of those companies stops using an affiliate program the publisher has to find and delete all of those ads. Same is true if the company changes its affiliate network company or the company has a need to stop using a particular ad.
Enter Multi-site Ad Managers
These multi-site ad managers allow publishers to centralize all their affiliate and/or banner ads into one main website and then share them to their other websites using short code or iFrames. These are the WordPress Multi-site Ad Managers plugins that I have discovered so far. I wanted to save you some time and share the list of what I have found. Some of these plugins do both selling of banner ads and handling affiliate ads such as Google AdSense. Some have a free lite version. (Prices and information March 2018.)

Ads EZ Serve |
|
| Ads EZ is a clever plugin to serve your ads to multiple web sites. It can work as standalone web application or as a WordPress plugin. Using Ads EZ, you can centralize your banner ads in one location, and use simple shortcodes to place them on your blog pages, or generate invocation codes to place them on any other web sites or blogs. You can even serve HTML ads (Pro version) with the same shortcode and invocation code mechanism.
Note: I do not see an option to sell ads directly from a website. |
Cost: Lite Version – Free The Pro version allows you to store and serve HTML and JavaScript ads such as AdSense and other providers. The lite version is limited to banner ads. Single License – $24 Use, by you or one client, in a single end product which end users are not charged for.
