Flarum Ads for 1.0

MikeJones

In my forum ... it shows the ads only 1 time.

Let's take an example for the understanding - You are at the homepage of a forum and the ad should be visible under the header and under the tags (It barely shows header and footer ads on desktop... On mobile, it's better than the desktop). But it shows the ads only 1 or 2 times after that if we want to view the ads again we have to reload the page.

And Now assume you opened a discussion and the ads should be after every 5 posts.
So the problem with AdSense that it doesn't show any ads and it shows ads after refreshing the page 1-2 times and the same on mobile.

And the second problem is that ... it shows the ads only 1 time . I mean if you go back from that discussion and opened another one so it will not show any ad anywhere(header + under the tags+ between the posts) . We have to again reload the page 1-2 times to see the ads again. (Same with the mobile but better than desktop)

I have tried simple banner test ads from some other networks .. they worked. It showed ads every ad and every time without any reload
But then I tried google test ads from here - https://developers.google.com/publisher-tag/samples/display-test-ad ... It didn't work for me. It just makes space and sometimes it will show an ad.

Maybe Adsense has some problem with SPA ?

Like this ??

<center>

<center><div><h6>ADVERTISEMENT</h6></div>

Your Ad code
  
</center>

Please, someone Review this is correct or not

xasharma Good try! But if i place that before <script> it displays at the bottom

It would have been nice if its at the top maybe inside ad div

For mobile -

I also tried on google ads ... its working for me

are you using auto ad code ??

xasharma yes i am using Auto Ad code

Braden

Use display ad units ... these are better

And use your ad auto ad code by installing an extension named HTML Head tags

(You can also type your Adsense ID by Enabling in Flarum/ads but on 19th July google launched a new code so use the ad auto ad code in HTML head tag extension for better improvement because Flarum/ads use an older one which is also good but there is a mix of old and new code)

you can read this article by google for more info - https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/10627874?hl=en

How to use ad units?

Go to your Adsense account and click on ads.

Then choose by unit ads

Personally, I use display ads for the whole site (you can try different if you want)

Click on display ads and they will you a code snippet (ad code) and then use that ad code for between the posts under and for header + under tags)

Your ad code will look like this -

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5941506786539927"
     crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<!-- Custom center footer -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:block"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx"
     data-ad-slot="xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
     data-ad-format="auto"
     data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
<script>
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

For Header use this code -

<center><div><h6>ADVERTISEMENT</h6></div>

Your Display ad unit code
  
</center>

For between the posts use this one -

<center><div><h6>ADVERTISEMENT</h6></div></center>

Your Display ad unit code

For under the tags -

<center><div><h6>ADVERTISEMENT</h6></div></center>

Your Display ad unit code

xasharma I now know why i was getting this problem

You see these google codes, they can display "Advertisement" word automatic , its there, but its not shown on code. It can display automatic when the code is align at center in DIV

i forgot to mention, with a css

.google-auto-placed::before { 
content: "Advertisements";
}

Since this extension asks for the Adesnse pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Should I take it out of my ad code for them to display?

I have this for under the header add and its not showing up

<div align="center">
<style type="text/css">
.adslot_1 { width: 320px; height: 100px; }
@media (min-width:500px) { .adslot_1 { width: 468px; height: 100px; } }
@media (min-width:800px) { .adslot_1 { width: 728px; height: 100px; } }
</style>
<ins class="adsbygoogle adslot_1"
    style="display:inline-block;"
    data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxxxxx"
    data-ad-slot="xxxxxxxx"
></ins>
</div>

shoudl I remove the data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxxxxx" line?

Update, I tried removing that line and it didnt work. Not sure how to get the Adsense ads to show up here.

Walys I am not using an extension for my Amazon Affiliate. I just strategically recommend things based on the articles on my site within posts.

xasharma bummer...

I submitted a bug report to @malago on GitHub. Hoping I can help beta test if he wants to try anything.

So what's the best way to do a bounty on this?

I am willing to fork over $60 if someone can get adsense ads working in all the spots and not just in-between posts.

Edit: payment would be over PayPal
