FYI: We developed a plugin that’s similar to the Custom Widgets plugin cited above a few months ago and released it bug free after extensive testing. It provides a few more bells a whistles than the one described above.
Here’s everything you can do with the Widget Locationizer:
1. Assign widget to display via TAGS
2. Assign widget to display via CATEGORIES
3. Assign widget to display via POST/PAGE ID
4. Assign widget to display EVERYWHERE
5. Assign widget to display EVERYWHERE EXCEPT X, Y, Z, ETC.
6. Assign NOFOLLOW OR DOFOLLOW
Thus it provides you the ability to provide fresh interesting sidebar content and more relevant ads that can improve CTR and increase sales.
If you’re interested you can find it here: http://tomuse.com/wordpress/widget-locationizer
We are currently working on an extended version with much more flexibility that will be released any day now!
