Phil Lilley Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 It wasn't until I put ALL my ads back to the regular format before my forum was back to normal... ads were popping up all over the place, singles and doubles.
gavpedz Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Hmm I was tempted to try but think I will hang fire for a while my members are very anti ads at the best of times so have to be very careful. Google skating then inside posts etc are not going to go down well Phil Lilley 1

Ad over the post, not in between posts. Anybody else seeing this? Add this code to your custom.css Phil, fixed the ads that appeared over the posts for me among other things: /* GOOGLE AD CODE FOR RESPONSIVE ADS */ #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 300px; height: 250px; } @media (min-width:380px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 336px; height: 280px; } } @media (min-width:764px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 728px; height: 90px; } } @media (min-width:980px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 468px; height: 60px; } } @media (min-width:1160px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 728px; height: 90px; } } #ipsLayout_sidebar .adsbygoogle { width: 300px; height: 250px; } @media (min-width:380px) { #ipsLayout_sidebar .adsbygoogle { width: 336px; height: 280px; } } @media (min-width:980px) { #ipsLayout_sidebar .adsbygoogle { width: 300px; height: 600px; } } .adsbygoogle { display:inline!important; } VISERA, Phil Lilley, Maxxius and 1 other 4
Saurabh Jain Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 They have a small code to be added on between head Yes this can be done with global template However this also shows ads on login / register pages which are not allowed so how can we place a code between heads and disable ads on non content pages

Simply add your login and registration links, privacy policy, etc. I did that on one of my sites along with the entire /forum section and ads are not displayed. I don't know the specific terms, but I'm sure this is something Google is aware of since they specifically tell you to load the code in those global places, whereas with regular Adsense, you need to place them specifically where you want them (and follow their TOS).

I can see option - to create new url group... on clicking it says choose your domain for type of ads... but I cannot see the specific url option where not to show ads Can you please check and share
Saurabh Jain Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 there is url option too which all pages should i block 1 login 2 register and?

Type in the URL that you want to hide all ads on (such as www.YOURSITE.com/register) Trailing slash and http/https don't matter — they'll be stripped anyway. Repeat adding your URLs for every page you want to disable ads from, then go to your site in the list below and click on the arrow dropdown (to reveal the URLs you just added). Select each one of them and continue to the next page. On the next page I believe you'll select each ad type that should be shown. Uncheck all of them, including the small button at the button about future ad type, then proceed. You can name it. For example, I have multiple sites that use the same auto ad code. I name mine as such: Site1.com - no ads Site2.com - no ads 3 minutes ago, Saurabh Jain said: there is url option too which all pages should i block 1 login 2 register and? I don't actually use it on my IPS site, but I set it up for when I want to use it: But my URLs are customized, except login, lostpassword, and contact. So your mileage will vary. For instance, all of my documents such as terms of service, ad disclosure, and privacy policy are under the /policy page, so including only that one will also remove the ads from /policy/privacy, /policy/terms, etc. Keep in mind that Google themselves are also very good at not displaying ads on pages they think shouldn't have ads, such as those ones with very little text on them that don't seem like an article.

eMCe71 Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Hi, I have just installed AutoAds and everything will be perfect but ... In-Article Ads appear over the text. I have tride solution from CSSlife and If I use: 1. solution - nothing changes 2. solution (only "display:inline") - In-Article Ads looks great but other don't appear at all Any clues? Thank you

The only solution I could apply was @AlexWebsites advice below. I have decided to show the ads to guests and users with very few posts. But to tell the truth the Auto Ads have made a big difference in terms of revenue. It is almost 4 times more compared to times before Auto Ads. Edited May 20, 2018 by ABGenc sobrenome 1

I'm not in a position to promise anything (no guarantees that it will be fixed or that you will hear anything from Google), but it's apparent that this is a bug that's affecting a number of sites, and at least Google is aware of it.

eMCe71 Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 I hope we will have a solution soon. For me, Guests are the biggest group because we have a lot of reading only guests (www.medfor.me/news) so letting them to see this bug is problematic.
asigno Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Hi all, please comment on the Google adsense forum regarding this issue. Google don't read IPB's forums, and unless Google see a lot of similar issues appearing in their forum it's not going to get fixed anytime soon.

Morgin Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 All I can say is keep hammering google about it. It’s not an invision problem unfortunately (or it would likely be fixed by now). The more people posting about it with google, the more likelihood of a reply. I don’t know if any of the IPS staff have any contacts at the big G, but if you do, this would be a good one to try and pressure them to solve. The increase to monetization is significant (which is a huge plus for your customers) but the overlap issues make it unusable.
blacknight Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 So, let's suppose I only want to show the ads to guest/visitors. How should I set it up? I created a custom ads, selected guests only and got this code: {advertisement="KEY"} Where am I supposed to put this code now? In the <body> ? I ask because Google says to put their code in the <head>. What should I do?
