Good Evening,
We are currently developing the following website – https://www.horizon.mt. The team would like to run Google Ads on our website.
The Google Ads Script for Article Top Ad, Article Inline 1-3 Ad, have been added to the appropriate sections in the Single Post Content Ads Tab. The Paragraph settings for the Inline Ad is set to 4, 8 and 12. Not all posts have more than 12 paragraphs, so we are ending up with a number of posts having more than one Advert at the bottom of the article. The team is unhappy with this setup as we think that it will look unprofessional having more than one advert showing in the same location
See this link -> https://www.horizon.mt/2021/07/16/the-french-air-force-buys-another-nine-pc-21
Is there a way or a setting that shows the advert only if the paragraph count exceeds the value inputted? In the link above Advert 3 will not be displayed.
Thanks & Regards
Hello!
If you set up after a paragraph and the post do not have that number of paragraph, then of course it will come ad after ad because you set up also the bottom one. There is no setting to make any condition there, but you can keep your posts to have the same number of paragraphs to avoid this situation.
A workaround there could be to duplicate the template or add a new one and assign it manually for the posts with less number of paragraphs.
In order to have different elements inside for every category/post, you need to have different template for each category/post.
If you want the same style of your categories/posts, then you can duplicate a template/layout for every category/post to have different template, make the specific changes and assign it to that category/post.
Check this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/different-logo-in-categorypage/ ; Here I explained step by step how you can duplicate a template.
Thank you!
Dear Bettina,
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately we are disappointed with the support provided. Stating that we should keep our blogs/posts with the same number of paragraphs is practically impossible to achieve. We cannot ask our contributors to do such things.
Following further testing performed yesterday we noticed that even your guidance does not reflect the current implementation.
During the testing we noticed the following implementation:
– Article Inline Ad 1: Is always displayed irrespective if the number of paragraphs in the blog is less than the value inserted in the settings. If the number of paragraphs is less, it is displayed at the end of the blog. This is similar to what you described before.
– Article Inline Ad 2: Works very similar to Article Inline Ad 1, always visible on the post irrespective of the length. If the blog paragraphs is greater than the value inserted in the settings, everything works fine. Problems appear when the number of the paragraphs is less. The Advert appears at the end of the blog but is displayed twice! We believe this is definitely an error which should be addressed by the developer.
– Article Inline Ad 3: This is the only advert that works the way we expected and want it to work. Advert Inline Ad 3 is only visible when the number of paragraphs exceeds the value in the settings.
As you can see, all 3 ads have different implementations! I believe this should be addressed and in our opinion it should be done (implemented) as Article Inline Ad 3.
We look forward for your input regarding this matter.
Thanks.
Hello!
I’ve tested on my end also and it seems to work just well.
For example, if you have 8 paragraphs in your post and you have set and ad with par. 8 , then the ad it will appear after that paragraph and also the ad for the bottom. If you have less paragraphs(6) then the ad set up to par. 8 it will not display, only the last one (bottom ad).
Take a look to this video for reference in order to avoid misunderstandings: https://www.screencast.com/t/W3xjp4vJStSW
Please let me know if this is working the same for you.
Thank you!
Dear Bettina,
Thank you for your reply.
Please take a look at this video to understand better what we noticed when implementing inline ads. I hope this will make it clear for you what the issue is really about -> https://www.screencast.com/t/GYLcHbNP
As you can see, the functionality of the ads is heavily affected by the use of the bottom advert. Without the bottom ads, the content is not behaving as it should be.
We look to hearing from you regarding this matter.
Regards
Chris
