    Hi,
    I understand that GD is working on releasing an Ad plugin in the near future.
    I would like to make a request: Please can you allow admin to post affiliate ads with the plugin? Some ad plugins allow just google ads or just paid advertising space. But I hope the plugin can allow affiliate ad placements and its tracking also. Thank you!

    I’m not sure I understand what you mean? Please explain with an example.

    Hi,
    Ok. Many websites for example, place Amazon Affiliate Ads on their site.
    In order to place these ads, one must paste a code in a widget on the backend, and when a person clicks on the ad on the frontend, they are taken to Amazon.com where, if they purchase the item, admin gets a small commission.
    This is different from other kinds of ads, like if businesses pay to advertise their business. I would just need to add an image and that’s it.

    But with Affiliate ads, I need to be able to add an affiliate link code on the backend, and then be able to keep a record of click throughs to ensure that the commission I receive in the end is correct.
    You can see how other plugins accomodate affiliate ad placements – For eg. https://wpadvancedads.com/features/ and https://adinserter.pro/documentation/features allow the placement of affiliate ads.

    But my understanding is that these plugins will not work with GD without major customization, correct?

    So my request is that if we can’t really use these other Ad plugins, then could you please include this feature in the Ad plugin that you are creating specifically for GD.
    And don’t make it so difficult that only a developer can insert these codes 🙁
    A person with decent WP experience and knowledge should be able to do it themselves.
    Thank you!

    You can achieve all that with AdRotate if you like. Thanks
