Description

The Rotating Ad Widget addon adds a widget and a Gutenberg block to AdSanity to rotate ads from the same group within a single page position, alternating creatives at a configurable time interval. The extension also provides a shortcode builder to insert the rotator in any content area, with fields for title, timing delay, and alignment. Instead of fixing a single piece in sidebar, footer, or post, create a carousel of creatives that switches automatically during the visit.

Main Features

  • Timed rotation widget: displays ads from an AdSanity group by alternating them at a time interval set by you.
  • Dedicated Gutenberg block: inserts the rotator directly in the block editor, without needing to edit code or theme files.
  • Shortcode builder: generates a ready shortcode to paste into pages, posts, or content areas where the widget does not reach.
  • Title, delay, and alignment settings: adjusts block header, time between switches, and horizontal positioning of the creative right from the interface.
  • View tracking: counts an impression only once after the first load, keeping AdSanity metrics consistent even with active rotation.

Benefits of the Rotating Ad Widget

  • More inventory in the same space: leverages a single page slot to deliver multiple sponsors in sequence, expanding sellable inventory without reformatting the layout.
  • Exposure time under control: defines how many seconds each creative remains visible, calibrating rotation to your audience’s reading pace.
  • Quick insertion anywhere: with both block and shortcode available, position the rotator in sidebars, inside articles, or on standalone pages using the same AdSanity group base.
  • Reliable metrics: one-time view counting preserves accurate reports to pass on to advertisers and justify results.

Who is it For?

  • Editors and content portals that sell their own ad space and need to accommodate more brands in the same spot.
  • Blogs and digital magazines already using AdSanity that want to rotate creatives in sidebar, footer, or mid-post.
  • Agencies and media managers running campaigns from multiple clients on the same WordPress site.

Those working with direct media sales on AdSanity gain a practical resource to multiply delivery per slot and maintain impression control. The Rotating Ad Widget is recommended for publishers, editors, and sales teams needing to alternate sponsors in the same position without sacrificing coherent reports.
