How it works

Simple Donate allows users to insert a donation from the visual editor. Users can also easily label donation levels. This is important because donors will often donate more when presented with predetermined levels and examples of what their money is being used for, (e.g. “$100 will protect 25,000 square feet of Rainforest“). Donations go directly through PayPal, allowing donors to pay with their preexisting accounts, making the donation process as frictionless as possible.

We plan to continue development and look forward to adding useful and requested features. If you have any suggestions on how we can make Simple Donate better, let us know in the comments section below.

Simple Donate can be downloaded through WordPress.org’s Plugin Repository.

Today while searching, we stumbled across a new ad format that we had never seen before – Google Offer Ads. The new ads are enabling businesses that are running a Google Offer to highlight the offer within AdWords. While testing is the norm at Google, this one really caught my eye.

What do the ads look like?

The new ad format uses the entire width of the pink box and surrounds the offer with a simple dashed border, making the ad really stand out among the top three placements. The ad also inserts the promotional text from the Google Offer into the AdWords Ad, giving advertisers an additional line to promote their business. Moreover, the “view offer” button incentivizes the customer to click on the ad to find out more information about the deal you’re running.

Clicking on the “View Offer” Button takes you to the coupon page where you can print the offer or save the deal for later use.

So what do you think? Is this new format going to work? Will you use the new Google Offers Ad for your business?
