The cd-ad-sponsor program is a WordPress plug-in designed to help you manage your sponsor ads that you place on your web site.

The cd-ad-sponsor plug-in manages graphic- and text-based banner advertisements from sponsors. Graphic-based ads may or may not conform to the IAB Ad Unit Guidelines. There is no restriction, however, on the size of your graphic-based sponsor's ads. Text-based banner ads contain mostly anchor tags wrapping text links but may contain smaller images, such as icons. They are often presented using JavaScript, such as Google AdSense and those ads obtained from Amazon, Commission Junction, etc.
