• Do you install wordpress Plug In’s which you get for free?
• Do you Just activate it and leave it there planning to modify it with your codes later?
• Are you too lazy? Better watch out for the worst.

See my part of the story:

I downloaded a Plugin, Adsense Injection from a reputed site,installed it. Since I was too tired that day, I decided to work on it later. I forgot the whole matter on the next day,and the day after that.I was just checking out my adsense earnings. I was astonished to see that, I was making no revenue all these days. Even though my site doesnt attract a large gathering, I had a few clicks each day.But from the day I installed the Adsense Injection(Remember I didn’t put in my codes)my earnings dropped to near zero. I had to Investigate.

While I was visiting a friend, I decided to show him my Blog.What greeted me was a whole lot of advertisements.My friend was not impressed,and I didn’t understand the reason for the crowding of advertisements in my blog. I realised how, I was losing my visitors every day. I tried editing my posts, so and so,but the problem persisted. I was getting exhausted,I had failed to find out the cause.Just then a my memory flashed,I remebered it all, installing the plugin.I deactivated all adsense related plugins I had installed. The problem was solved.

What happened?

On installing a plugin we have downloaded from a website, we are installing their advertisements (Which are set as default) into our site.If you have a real bad memory or if you have javascript disabled, you will be in real trouble.I appreciate the work done by the developers, who have made blogging a lot more easier with their plugins, but I think ave the duty to tell the users about the default settings too. I will be more careful when installing the plugins from now on….

PS: I have downloaded many themes and plugins for my blog,most of them come with preloaded ads.I am currently running a theme created by Doshdosh and the wrong advices.I am happy with the theme(They too had advertisements filled in,but I ran the advertisementsfor a few days, as a way to thank them for their goodwill.).

Thanks to everyone who have taken pain to create new plugins and give it out for free.
