OIOPublisher is the best solution for bloggers trying to sell direct advertising. Before this awesome piece of software came along, I would always recommend new bloggers use 3rd party ad networks instead of selling ads directly because you need to concentrate on producing content when you’re starting out.
What OIOPublisher automates the ad buying process so you can concentrate on blogging instead of selling. By using OIOPublisher, advertisers can order, pay for and upload their ads directly to your blog. The only thing you have to do is approve the ad. If you get a sale, then great! If not, then OIOPublisher will run ads from the ad networks or your own house ads until you do. Some of the other features include:
- Possible to integrate the ad platform with any website that uses PHP
- Purchase / account pages are now templated, editable within the admin area
- Text links are now controlled via zones (like banner ads)
- Works with PayPal and PayPal Subscription
- Full javascript ad display support
- Entrecard Payment option integrated
The software will work on any website that use PHP. WordPress users get an easy to install plugin. OIOPublisher Direct sells for $47 and is worth every penny. However, I have two copies to give away.
How To Enter
To enter for a chance to win one of two copies of OIOPublisher Direct, simply reply to this post. It doesn’t get easier than that! You only need to reply once. Replying multiple times won’t get you more entries. However, if you blog about this contest and link to this post, I’ll give you five more entries. I give you three more entries if you send the following tweet to your followers.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

I’ve been looking for a means of getting some more advertising onto my blogs and this seems like a good system for doing so. We’ll see if i win a copy, and it’s great that this easily integrates with Wordpress.
I’ve also been looking at easy advertising integrations for my blogs. Right now I have them set up manually, but going to a more automated solution would simplify the process. Good luck Nate and everyone else!
In for this contest! w00t!
I am in for this contest too.
I wonder if you could use this with a new blog. My alexa score is just ‘ok’ and I don’t have a pagerank yet. this can be kind of discouraging when you are trying to appeal to webmasters who are looking for advertising.
don’t mess with me..
I am in
Let’s all reply to the first post!
Totally!! And it’s nice that its only $47 if you don’t get in – seems like good value !!
It’s great. You won’t be disappointed if you win.
nice nice , hopefully I can win
Sweet. I’ve been waiting for a chance to win a copy of this software!
Nice software, would love to win it!
Would be cool to incorporate it on my blog, i like that they display other ads until you make a sale.
Hi John. I twittered (@brandingdavid) and now I’ve responded.
Good luck to others that enter.
Its a great tool..i am blogging and twittering this
oh snap~!
logging onto twitter right now…
I bought it and never got around to using it – that was 5 months ago now….lol
Great Recommendation! Thanks for Sharing John.
I have this on my list of two things to buy for my blog. The other being a real theme.
I sent out a tweet @browie (obviously)
Good Luck to me.
give it to me!
Definitely a great resource for bloggers as long as it is used in compliance with google.
Hope I win; need to get some ads up.
This sounds like a great piece of software. I will have to seriously consider this one. Thanks for the recommendation.
I am not against to get it as a gift presented by Santa.
Wow.. I’ll give it a try..
It would be interesting to discuss this topic further since there are loads of direct ad serving solutions around. Am currently using http://www.adbutler.com which costs money to use. Once tried http://www.openx.org however I decided against it when I discovered it not to be user friendly, really struggled to get the hang of it.
Yeah, good place to talk about how each of the alternatives compares.
OIO gets great comments on http://www.johnchow.com/serve-your-own-ad-with-google-ad-manger/
Twitted + Comment !
Cheers.. Hope I win =.=
I better win, you loser!
Tweeted John, @lenstrom. Good stuff Evil One.
I see John is jumping on that 90% sales commission.
Though I think he should have talked about that more(I mean this website is read by a ton of marketing/affiliate bloggers).
Fantastic resource to look into for setting up our ads! Since I’m new, I haven’t even looked into these types of solutions as of yet, but will definitely visit the site.
Now I just need to get all my stats up so I can even get some eyes interested in advertising on my blog…babysteps, one foot in front of the other.
This seems like a great program, I may have to give it a try. I currently use OPENX but it has it’s flaws.. I like the way that it integrates paypal. Maybe I will win!
Count me in, John!
Nice software btw.
I’ve been wanting to give OIO a go. I put up their affiliate banner in hopes of raising the money to purchase it. *crosses fingers*
I’m in

John, something’s going on with your post http://www.johnchow.com/how-to-make-2009-your-best-blogging-year/ , I guess you have been hacked or something, it shows a blank page saying Die ! Spammer Die !. Maybe its yet another of your tricks to make money.
I’ve already Tweeted about the contest and will be scheduling a post later on today. I’m sure many people will enjoy this opportunity and OIOPublisher will have many new customers through this exposure.
Thanks for the opportunity John.
Hey John – Here is my reply, I will post my review on this contest at my blog in the next few hours. *crosses fingers*
This is cool contest. Sign me up. Thanks Greg Ellison
Great tip – looks like a terrific program. Automation is what we need. Have also Tweeted it as well. Thx John
Please count this as my entry John. I really need to automate my ad inventory and it would be great to win this.
Been wanted to try this plugin but just thinking twice whether it will really bring good money..
I’m in, I have also Tweeted it as well.
How does this compare to Google’s platform. I guess it’s nice that it’s just an up front fee as opposed to a percentage based fee like Google’s?
ooh count me in, I’ve been wanting to hop on board the OIO train forever!
john count me on these one.
I am responding to the article on the OIP product. I sent the twitter and will put the information on my blogs at sanborns.blogspot.com and others if I get a chance. ERP-PeopleSoft-Consultants.com; chahinkapa.com/blog; cajanateam.blogspot.com. Would love to win this for my son.
I’m in! Thanks for the opportunity!
Hey, I wouldn’t mind having one of these OIO publishers. This will be my first contest win ever (if I win of course)
Thanks for the contest John!
I twittered (writeontheedge) and blogged: http://www.writing-success.net/blog/oiopublisher-give-away/. Great contest!
I’ll take my chance, too. And I’ll use it on a Turkish blog
I am commenting here – cool contest – and tweeted today too – twitter.com/laurelea
Thanks John!
BTW – love your dancing and singing with Tom…:)
Here is my comment!
Thank you John Chow!
Well, would be good to win a copy in this new year
Thanks for having this contest. Have a great year ahead…!!
Cheers!

I’m in. I also sent out a twitter: Twitter ID: soleflor
Hey this sounds much easier than the manual way that I’ve been doing things! Sign me up
I’m in and feeling lucky.
OpenX (previously OpenADs) is not only FREE it is what OIO dreams to be when it grows up.
http://www.openx.org/
OpenX doesn’t automate the sale process. That is the key advantage OIO has over every other ad solution.
I want to win too…law of attraction
I will try this tools….hope working better,thanks
I love a good raffle.
Great Featured advertising plugin. I hope Openx will become better by adding a sale automation module.
Enter me in please.
I want in too!!!
Don’t count me in John, because I’ve had OIOPublisher for a while now!
I just wanted to say that this is easily the best ad software I’ve used. It makes things so much easier & for the advertisers as well. I also love the affiliate setup they have so that you can pay people to bring advertisers to your site.
Great! Count me in please. Thanks!
i am in the contest too. Good luck everyone
woh! Interested..i hope i’m not too late..
Hello John Chow (hey you have the same first name as me!),
I’d be very keen to obtain this software, it looks fantastic. While chances are slim of winning it, you gotta be in it to win
.Thanks. John
Looks like an excellent piece of kit, finger crossed I’m lucky enough to win a copy. Lord knows I could use the help.
Good Luck All.
I’m in on this one.
I should be giving this one a try. I had been using 125×125 ads direct selling and it doesn’t seem to benefit me, except to put my own ads.
Hope I get lucky. I’ve heard about OIO publisher before but I prefer to have a free version, such as that is given in a contest.
Great post, this is worth keeping in mind for future growth.
Thanks.
Hey John,
Good morning to you. I thought it was quite swift of you to use the “picture of the girl and her booty” in catching someone’s eye in sliding on over to this blog post you made. Boy you are legitimately smooth…lol
Shawn
Sure, why not.
Already have a copy, its a nice tool for bloggers.
Pick me!
I’m in!
I’m In too. -:)

Can’t pass this one up
This is one good chance, wouldn’t want to miss this one. Twweeet around now.

Sign me up lul, looks like this could be fun
I’d love to win a copy of OIO ’cause it sure beats paying for it
I would love to win a copy of OIO too.
Cool software, if I don’t win I may buy
I would really like to get OIOPublisher… Count me in!

Hi John, I’ll hope to win a copy of Oio plugin!
I’ve just tweet it at @maxp76.
Good luck to everybody!

Hey Chow,
Looks like a good advertising program, is it google friendly with selling links.. like does it allow nofollow for links, etc..?
Hopefully I’ll win, that would be exactly what I need!
I test it on sexycrack.com but its not working, why ?
I’ve always wanted this plugin for use on my business blogs.
I did read somewhere that if you didn’t have the money to buy this plugin, then you shouldn’t really be in the business, but some of us are just strapped for cash at the best of times, and buying this plugin is just way out of our budget.
I have seen it used, and it is a good piece of software, just need shorter URL’s and I think it would be better.
give it to me!

I’ve got terrible luck with raffles, but I do wish things change with this contest ^_^
I’ve actually seen this in action on their demo site. Awesome product if you ask me.
I’m in. From the comments sounds like a great tool.
What about Russian-language Blogs? Is this for them tempting?
Sounds good for a true “newbie” like myself. Thanks for all the great contest!
Hey John,
Thanks for the great and easy contest! But this plugin would definitely come in handy so wish me luck!
Also, I posted about the contest at http://www.bloggingcontests.com/2009/win-a-oiopublisher-direct-ad-plugin-at-johnchowcom/ so I guess that’s 6 total entries for me, huh?
Nice!

Sounds like a very nice app. – thanks for the heads up!
Now I have to say this is one of the better advertising plugins that I have seen in quite some time and one I’m going to have to pickup in the near future.
Hey,
So, I’m wondering who were the winners of this plugin?
BC
I have also the same question. No results are out yet.
Well, you don’t always have to come out with a big bang, although coming out with one might cause a bit of a frenzy in the blogosphere. Nonetheless, even if it’s a new blog, go for it.
By the way, I’m in this John.
