What Do You Get When You Mix a Sidebar with an Ad Agency?

I just love it when I can combine two powerful extensions. I always end up doubling the functionality while halving the effort – and reducing the cost. That’s a win-win-win!

And that’s why as our products evolve, I’m constantly looking for ways to integrate them. Two obvious combinations are the iJoomla News Portal and iJoomla Ad Agency, and iJoomla Ad Agency and iJoomla SideBars.

News portals, which can earn you income by selling advertising next to the content rather than by pushing products, really should be using iJoomla Ad Agency. It makes earning money from advertising very simple and it’s extremely powerful. You can place those ads in any module position and, for a more complete integration, you can put them right in your news portal layout.

Combine the Ad Agency with SideBars, and you can even put those ads right inside your articles!

Recently, we made the Ad Agency even better by allowing publishers to add an image to a text ad. We call it “Facebook-style” because the ads are similar to Facebook’s neatly optimized units. Because they look like a part of your site and not like ads, they get more clicks. Now you can earn even more cash by adding these Facebook-style ads to your news portal too.

Here’s a video that explains how to place an Ad Agency zone containing our Facebook-style ads right inside your News Portal layout:
