I have developed a WordPress plug-in that enables you to display different Matched.co.uk ads on different pages.
Due to Matched.co.uk closing down, I am no longer maintaining this plug-in. I have left the download here for reference, and I will no longer support the plugin itself.

- From the matched.co.uk site, add the URL to each page you want the ads displayed on, and then copy the ad code exactly as it is given to you into the appropriate boxes.

@james, r u also using the same widget in your blog. If yes then show me your different accepted pages of this blog.

@elliott – Thanks for leaving a comment!
@moneytalks365days – I have different ads on each of the main pages (Home/About/Portfolio/Projects/Contact), the ad is located on my blog at the bottom of my sidebar on the right. I can see the ad on your blog, below your “Popular Tags” widget… I’ll put up a more detailed installation guide shortly, you might’ve missed something!! Thanks

@moneytalks365days, ah – I think I may have missed a part of the instructions, you have to go to Design > Widgets, and add the Widget to your sidebar. You need to have a Widget-enabled theme for this to work! I have also put up detailed instructions with pictures!

so i assume, this pugin can be use to put adveriser link that want to advertise on our blog for specific page?

@mesol, yes this is for publishers that have an active Matched.co.uk account and advertise on a self-hosted WordPress blog. Instead of embedding the advertisment HTML into a post/page, you can put it in this widget on your sidebar (as shown on my blog, the bottom of my sidebar).

Hello
I am unable to download the plugin.
Can you please reuplod it or mail me as attachment.
I will be very thankful.

Apologies, I had changed some paths – should be working fine now.
November 12th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Thanks alot James.
I downloaded and installed the plugin.
I have a suggestion. Apart from five approved pages of blog (by matched), a default adblock is shown on all remaining pages. Is there any way to limit the ads only upto 5 approved pages?

Thanks – I will take that into consideration for the next release!
