This is a list of plugins Frank tested:
- MaxBlogPress Stripe Ad
- Simple Welcome Bar
- Simple Ads Manager
- Header and Footer
- Content.ad
- Hello Bar
- Advertwhirl Advertising Manager and Ad Rotator

- Maintenance and tuning - 5; provides and extensive range of modifications;
- Tax - free, but if you wish you can donate to the developers;
- Disposition - can be placed anywhere;
- Targeting - thorough the admin panel you can hide your stripe ads for specific countries or ips.
- Analytical tool - contains a must have tool to track productivity of the ad;
- Uninstall - you can uninstall by deactivating the plugin and deleting from the WordPress plugins control panel. Uninstalling will delete all files and settings created by Ad Injection. It will also delete any template ads that you have put in the ad-injection-data folder.
Stripe Ad:
- Installation - 5, the same, upload it into "/wp-content/plugins/" directory, than push Active button and it's done;
- Maintenance and tuning - 3; provides a poor range of modifications;
- Tax - needs to be activated via e-mail, asks for money to reveal full range of functionalities;
- Unwanted links - contains unnecessary links to developer's website;
- Uninstall - you can delete the plugin from the admin panel, but you need to delete rudiments of code manually, meaning there is no automatic option back to default settings.
...Stripe Ad is guilty for being less function-rich and is sentenced be be uninstalled.
