CrankyAds Makes Selling Ads On Your Blog Easy…
CrankyAds is a plugin and advertising management system currently available to WordPress bloggers.
The service is designed to service these three core needs –
- To help bloggers earn money from their blog by selling advertising banners to sponsors
- To make the installation and management of advertising campaigns super easy for both the blogger and the advertiser
- To give you tools that can turn your advertising revenue into a passive income stream
As a result of these motivations CrankyAds was created. It’s a very simple plugin, but it has a powerful purpose: To help you make more money with your blog.
If you’re currently not selling banners from your blog, you’re missing the features that CrankyAds offers or your current plugin is too confusing, this is the solution for you.
CrankyAds gives you the power to -
- Rotate banners on your blog
- Create unlimited zones and ad campaigns, meaning you can place multiple banners of any size anywhere in your blog layout
- Set price and duration for campaigns
- Allow sponsors to purchase ad campaigns directly from your site, without wasting time through negotiations or manual uploading of banners
- Easily review, approve and cancel campaigns through an online management system here at CrankyAds.com
CrankyAds helps your blog generate income from sponsors coming to your site and buying banner advertising campaigns. It’s designed to be simple so you don’t need to be a coder to use it, and hands-off so the income is as close to passive as possible – you just watch the money come into your Paypal account.
Here are some of the unique features of CrankyAds that you won’t find anywhere else -
- The plugin automatically creates an “advertise page” and places it in your navigation bar if your blog theme allows it. This page lists all the prices and statistics that potential advertisers need to know and makes it possible for them to directly purchase campaigns without ever needing to contact you. They just pick the campaign they want and make a purchase.
- You have complete control over whether to approve campaigns or nor in your personal admin panel here at CrankyAds.com. All you need to do is check that the money came through into your Paypal account from the advertiser and that the advertiser banners are a good fit for your site, then click the approve button and the campaign is active.
- Campaign management focuses less on features and more on usability. All you really need in an advertising management system is an easy way to place banners on your site, take payments from sponsors and collect basic statistics on advertising performance. Why make things complicated by including too many options that you don’t need or use? CrankyAds focuses on the basics.

Who Is Behind CrankyAds?
My name is Yaro Starak and I’m the founder of CrankyAds. Although Mr Cranky, that old man you see at the computer in our logo runs this place, I was the guy who came up with the CrankyAds concept. Since Mr Cranky spends most of his time pushing people around I figured it was better for everyone if I explained what CrankyAds is about.
In case you don’t know who I am, I own a blog called Entrepreneurs-Journey.com where I have blogged since 2005. You can read more about me in my About Page at my blog.
