Who Sees Ads Professional bloggers rely on the revenue from ads on their respective blogs. However too many and jazzy ads can irritate the readers which eventually forces them to look away from the site.

While there is no other option but to show ads a blogger has to maintain a fine balance between showing and not irritating the the regular readers at the same time.

There are quite a few WP-Plugins which help you show ads based on defined criteria. I will discuss one such plugin called “Who Sees Ads” (click here to download) in this article which I think is the BEST among similar plugins and cannot get any better (maybe)!

It leaves total control in the hands of the bloggers in terms of who sees ads and who does not. The plugin lets you pick from the existing rules or define your own rules to show ads.

The Image below shows you the pre-defined rules which can be used to create context. I’ve created a context to hide a huge block of ad between the title and the article from the readers who come to TNerd.com directly or through any other referral other than a search engine and the second rule shows ads on the old content only, in this case content older than 2 days is considered old.

Create Context Rules

Once the Context is created, all you got to do is copy the line of code and paste it in your template or within the article.

Once this plugin is active you will certainly see some loss in revenue but that’s totally worth it as your regular readers will be happier to see the content without any ads.

Alternatively this plugin can be used for any coded that you want to show to a selective group of users. For example if you want to show a particular discount coupon only to registered users, you can place the image coded using this plugin and select the rule to show it only to logged-in users.
