Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AdGhost Lite – Ad Inserter for Google Ad Manager

No. AdGhost adds Google's ad tag (GPT) and every ad slot to your pages itself. You type in your network code and ad unit codes, or import them from a GAM CSV, Ad Inserter or Advanced Ads, then click Save and deploy. Header and footer code is only there if you want to add something of your own, such as analytics.

In Google Ad Manager under Admin → Global settings. It is a number such as 23048642157.

AdGhost Lite places Google Ad Manager ad units, so it needs an Ad Manager account. Ad Manager is free for most publishers: sign up at admanager.google.com with the Google account that runs your AdSense, and link AdSense there so it keeps competing to fill your ads. If you would rather not run Ad Manager yourself, AdGhost can manage it for you: see theadghost.com/gam-ads-inserter.

Create them in your Google Ad Manager account and enter the same ad unit codes in AdGhost. Export for GAM writes a CSV you can use to create them, and Import from GAM reads one.

Privacy policy and contact pages have no ads by default (AdGhost → Settings → Where ads show). For any other page, tick Hide ads on this page in the AdGhost box in the editor, or use Turn off in the Ads column of the Pages or Posts list.

Switch on AdGhost Debug in the admin bar, or Preview mode in Settings, and open a post. Every ad position and every skipped paragraph is outlined with the reason.

Yes, if you serve ads through Google Ad Manager. The settings page uses the same kind of positions (before/after paragraphs, posts, static pages), so it will feel familiar. AdGhost then lazy-loads each GAM ad unit and reserves its space so the page does not shift. AdGhost is not affiliated with Ad Inserter or its authors.

Yes. When either plugin has left settings on your site, AdGhost → Ad units shows an Import from button (the other plugin does not need to be active). It reads the Google Ad Manager slots in your blocks or ads, including slots defined once in the header code, and adds them as units with their positions. Nothing changes until you click Save and deploy. AdSense, image ads, PHP blocks and groups are not imported: each is listed with the reason. Other tags found in the header or footer code (analytics, a consent platform) can be copied into AdGhost's own header and footer code.

AdGhost helps you use Google's own consent message instead. Google requires a Google-certified consent platform for personalised ads in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland; its message in Ad Manager → Privacy & messaging is certified and free, and Google shows it with your ads. AdGhost → Settings → Consent & ad blockers has the steps, a Check on my site link, and an optional "Privacy settings" link in the footer that reopens the message. You can also place that link with the shortcode [adghost_privacy_settings]. Another consent platform works too: add its tag in Header code.
