Mediamage Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I'm having issues adding Adsense to my forum. Is there an easier way? I get this error in the preview: Previews for adverts containing javascript are disabled in the admin control panel for security reasons. I'm not seeing any adds on my forum either.

Jim M Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 That isn't an error but telling you that for security reasons, we will not be showing you Javascript in the ACP. You will need to go to the front-end to view it. If you're not seeing it on the front-end, you will need to double check that you're implementing the code which Adsense is providing correctly. If you continue to have issues, you will want to contact them for assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediamage Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Okay, I am implementing the exact code they provided and not seeing it on the front end. Is it because my forum is private to members only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they do indeed require to be able to view your pages to supply ads. Mediamage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediamage Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Yeah sounds like you need to make the forum discoverable while they crawl it then you can add a crawler login for them or something. I'll see how the process goes, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Calvert Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 In general, I found with Adsense it's difficult if not impossible to show ads in areas that are not available to guests. Personally what I ended up doing was showing ads to guests and not to site members as a way to encourage signup, etc. Mediamage, AlexWebsites and Sonya* 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did that but they don't give you an option to send them that until this first accept your site. Basically you have to make the forum open for everyone and then once they accept your ads you can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 You would have to take that up with them really. We dont really have any control over whether or not they accept your site for ads unfrotunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
