Manage Sponsors

Sponsors are your clients. You either sell ad spots to a sponsor, or subscribe to their affiliate program. Either way, you obtain ads to display on your site from your sponsors. The Manage Sponsors page displays a list of all the currently defined sponsors for your blog.

If you are running WordPressµ then the sponsors you define apply across all blogs.

The cd-ad-sponsor plug-in manages specific contact information about each of your sponsors. Not all data fields are used when creating a new sponsor, depending upon the type of your sponsor. For example, some data fields are specific to adult sponsors. You can leave a data field empty if it does not apply.
