A little over a year ago I released a WordPress plugin called Smart Ads. I had been looking for a plugin that would assist me in adding advertisements to Simply-Basic.com, my technology blog (now defunct), but I couldn’t find one that I felt did everything I needed it to. After creating what I felt was the perfect advertising solution for myself, I released it to the public.
Well I’m happy to say that in just over a year, Smart Ads has been downloaded over 10,000 from WordPress.org! It’s quite a milestone for Smart Ads and myself personally, as it is my most popular plugin. I told my wife today and her response was “Why didn’t you just charge $1 for it!” You can tell she has more business sense then I do!
If you’d like to give Smart Ads a try, check out it’s homepage. It’s fully compatible with WordPress 2.8 and absolutely free.

congrats john. 10,000 mark is really an achievement.
Just curious – what script / plugin do you use to keep track of the download?

Sorry I didn't see this comment sooner. I just use the stats from the Wordpress.org site. I have them host all the downloads for the plugin.
