the plugin - http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/add-post-footer.zip can be used to add footer content after every post

Al, with such a great quality website I suppose you can name your price and all spots will eventually be filled.

As many people don’t have money and maybe just got out setting up a website or two, may be a better approach would be to think up a way to help those people getting a link in exchange for something else. An ad like that would be sought after even if it meant getting mentioned once in with every 1000 posts.

I like the idea (the plugin) extremely and hope it in itself can be rewarding far better than you expect. Great stuff!

That’s a good point, my excuse is I had to do the ad before the post so I never knew the post’s address, I’ve changed it no though.

Looks good, but shouldn’t the link point to this post rather than the homepage?

I think this is a great idea.

I am not sure though if google resents it or not?

How much traffic were you getting from those 60k visitors?

This is great. I currently use Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter but it’s difficult to configure if you want to customize.

Regarding advertising; could be a little bit of an issue for those in syndication, for example BlogBurst clearly says no advertising (but I know from personal experience they don’t monitor closely)

I would use the footer to display links to my other blogs/projects. Or run ads during busy holidays/weekends.

Thanks Walt, I never knew about that one. I generally do a lot of coding via plugins so it doesn’t take me long to knock a simple one like this up though I’d of saved an hour doing a search first.

When I started writing the plug-in it was just to promote my site and posts but at the end I thought it might be a worthwhile advertising spot for other. It does have the side benefit of creating permanent links on other sites which could also be attractive.
