Advanced Ads – Ad Manager & AdSense

The plugin comes with Privacy settings that help you gather consent from users before showing ads to them. The feature works for any ads managed with the plugin, including AdSense Auto ads.

Once you enable one of the Privacy options, Advanced Ads blocks ads that need consent until it is given. You can disable that check for individual ads as well (e.g., for image ads).
You can also deliver non-personalized AdSense ads when that is legally allowed in your area.

• Cookie consent integration.
• IAB TCF 2.2 integration.

Advanced Ads itself does neither save personal information (e.g., an IP address) in your database nor cookies in the visitor’s browser.

You can learn more about how Advanced Ads and its add-ons handles data and privacy of your visitors on this page.

Advanced Ads is compatible with all ad networks and banners from affiliate programs like Awin, Google AdSense, Chitika, Clickbank, CJ Affiliate, Amazon, ShareASale, Impact, Rakuten, Booking.com, GetYourGuide, media.net, and also Google Ad Manager (formerly Google DoubleClick for Publishers, DFP).

You can also use it to insert additional ad network tags into your site’s header or footer without coding to integrate header bidding.
Advanced Ads even provides a dedicated AdSense ad type to leverage this ad network’s specific options.

You can use functions and shortcodes to display ads and ad groups.

The integers in this example are the IDs of the elements.

Use these shortcodes to insert an ad or group into your post/page.

[the_ad id="24"] [the_ad_group id="5"] 

Use these functions to insert an ad or ad group into your template file.

<?php the_ad(24); ?> <?php the_ad_group(5); ?> 

In addition to directly displaying ads and groups you can define ad placements and assign either an ad or group to them.

[the_ad_placement id="header-left"] <?php the_ad_placement('header-left'); ?> 

There is no revenue sharing. Advanced Ads doesn’t alter your ad codes in a way that you earn less than you would directly including the ad code in your template. To implement revenue sharing between multiple authors, follow the instructions of this tutorial.

Yes. I would add a “Manual” placement into your theme files. It would allow you to change the displayed ads or groups later without changing your code again.

Yes. Advanced Ads can be combined with other ad plugins.
Just use their shortcodes in our “Rich Media” ad type to combine both features.
Works with AdRotate, Ad Inserter, Ad Injection, Quick AdSense, Quick AdSense Reloaded (WPQUADS), Simple Ads Manager, and other plugins.
Advanced Ads can be used along Google Site Kit or replace it if you need more control over your ad setup.

Yes, Advanced Ads supports current PHP versions and has been successfully tested on servers running PHP 8.

Yes. It works out of the box with all site builders that allow shortcodes or widgets, like Elementor, Divi, SiteOrigin, Beaver Builder, Nimble Page Builder, Pagelayer, and others.
There is also a free add-on to support the WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer).

Visitors who have any ad blocker (e.g., AdBlock Plus) enabled won’t see ads from known external sources (e.g., AdSense).
You can still monetize those spots with custom content.

Google AdSense and some other networks ask you to provide an ads.txt.
Advanced Ads can create that file automatically with the correct information for AdSense, when you enable the ads.txt feature in Advanced Ads > Settings > General > ads.txt and enter your AdSense publisher ID in Advanced Ads > Settings > AdSense.

Yes. You can use plenty of hooks to customize Advanced Ads.
