Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Advanced Ads – Ad Manager & AdSense

Create an ad in Advanced Ads, choose a placement and publish. No code is needed. To get started, see the first ad tutorial, the guide to AdSense Auto ads and the AdSense overview. If an ad does not show, check ads not showing up.

Install the Tracking add-on. It counts impressions and clicks per ad and per group, and stores them in your database or sends them to Google Analytics. With local tracking you read the numbers on the Statistics screen. With Google Analytics, you read them in your Analytics account.

Add-ons are separate modules that extend the core plugin with features such as tracking, sticky ads, popups, AMP and Google Ad Manager. Open Advanced Ads > Settings > Licenses to install, activate or deactivate them. An All Access license covers every add-on.

Yes. Advanced Ads has importers for all three. They bring over your ads, groups, placements and settings. Run the importer, then check your placements on the front end.

Advanced Ads has privacy settings that wait for consent before it shows ads that need it. This works for every ad you manage with the plugin, including AdSense Auto ads. You can turn the check off for individual ads, such as image ads, and serve non-personalized AdSense ads where that is allowed. Cookie consent integration IAB TCF 2.2 integration Advanced Ads itself stores no personal information, such as IP addresses, in your database and sets no cookies in the visitor's browser. See how Advanced Ads and its add-ons handle data.

All of them. Advanced Ads works with Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager, Amazon, Awin, Chitika, ClickBank, CJ Affiliate, ShareASale, Impact, Rakuten, Booking.com, GetYourGuide, media.net and more. You can also add network tags to your site's header or footer for header bidding. AdSense has its own ad type with its specific options.

Use shortcodes and functions to display ads and ad groups. The numbers below are element IDs. Insert an ad or group into a post or page: [the_ad id="24"] [the_ad_group id="5"] Insert an ad or group into a template file: <?php the_ad(24); ?> <?php the_ad_group(5); ?> You can also define placements and assign an ad or group to them: [the_ad_placement id="header-left"] <?php the_ad_placement('header-left'); ?>

No. Advanced Ads does not change your ad codes, so you earn the same as you would by pasting the code into your template. For revenue sharing between authors, follow this tutorial.

Yes. Add a "Manual" placement to your theme file. You can then change the displayed ads or groups later without editing the code again.

Yes. Use their shortcodes in the "Rich Media" ad type to combine both. It works with AdRotate, Ad Inserter, Ad Injection, Quick AdSense, WP QUADS, Simple Ads Manager and others. It also runs alongside Google Site Kit, or replaces it when you need more control.
