If you have a blog and you sell ads of any type, you should check out OIO Publisher if you haven’t already. I wrote a review of this Wordpress plugin about a month ago. I recommend it highly, it’s an invaluable tool for managing ad sales directly right from within your Wordpress dashboard.

Recently the OIO Publisher plugin was upgraded to version 1.6.0 and added some great new features including the addition of an ad queue so people can buy ads in advance, an upgrade alert system, the ability to use html, integration with the ViralBlogAds network, and the capability to place ads on any website by using a javascript code.

This plugin is regularly $37 but for a limited time, I’ve been given two coupon codes to lower your price of the OIO Publisher plugin.

This coupon is HOT! Use code QWERTY-17 to get $17 off of the OIO Publisher regular price of $37, bringing the price down to $20. This coupon expires in the next two days (@ 05/05/08) so take advantage now. At $20 this plugin could pay for itself within one or two sales, so if you’ve even thought about buying it now’s the perfect time to do so.

If you can’t buy within the next day or so you can still save some money off of the regular price. Use code QWERTY-5 to get $5 off of the OIO Publisher regular price of $37, bringing the price down to $32. This coupon expireson 05/20/08.

If you’re serious about selling your own ads this plugin is a must have, so hurry and take advantage of the coupon codes before they expire.

The cost for some software titles is quite expensive, which is one of a number of good reason why people don’t rush to upgrade their software to newer version. What some people don’t know is that there are many times software can be bought for less, with an academic discount. Companies such as CostCaptain offer their educational discounts to both students and staff of research labs, libraries and schools. Here’s an example. A copy of Microsoft Office 2007 would typically cost the average person like me. Those that qualify for the educational discount can purchase the full version of Office 2007 starting at $129 and the Vista Upgrade starting at $89. Some people wonder if academic version are fake. I sold them for years and they are quite real. CostCaptain is a Microsoft Authorized Education Reseller, meaning you are purchasing a 100% Authentic Microsoft product. And, if you know of someone that qualifies for the academic discount and needs software but is short on cash, you can buy them a gift certificate. Valentine’s Day is next week and I’m sure that would be quite a useful gift. Educational discounts are a great program and a great way to save some money and show value for education!
