Good post. I’ve been after something like AdRotate for a while so I’ll definitely that check out.

Other plugins I use and can recommend are WP Firewall 2 (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-firewall-2/), Login Lockdown (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/login-lockdown/) and Yoast SEO (http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/) which will also generate a sitemap XML file and has the option for a breadcrumb menu
