‘Buy Sell Ads’ WordPress Plugin aims to help you with an easy method of ‘Buy Sell Ads’ zones integration into your WordPress Blog. The script includes an anti-AdBlock measure to help preventing AdBlock from blocking the advertisements. Some of the reasons Thaya Kareeson created this plugin are:

• AdBlock lowers your ad impression statistics tracked by Buy Sell Ads, which makes your advertisement spot lose value.
• Buy Sell Ads advertisers will have an extra incentive to advertise on your site because AdBlock will not be able to block their ads.

Please resist the urge to flame this plugin just because you are an AdBlock lover. I did not write this plugin because I hate AdBlock, but rather because I love publishers and their quality content. I truly believe that this is a useful plugin. If you are planning on rating this plugin, please give it a fair chance by downloading it and evaluating it before you rate.

Features include:

• Easily integration of the BSA advertisements (all you need is the zone ID)
• Anti-AdBlock capabilities
• Buy Sell Ads widget that support multiple zones
• Ability to specify pre/post zone HTML & pre/post widget HTML
