# WordPress Tip: Showing Ads in Your Sidebar

You can show ads in your sidebar through a simple plugin called [WP125](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp125/). This plugin allows you to add and manage a collection of 125 pixel graphic ads. One note I forgot to mention in the screencast is that each ad must be *exactly* 125 x 125 pixels in size. Otherwise you'll end up with strange looking spaces in your sidebar images.
