Adsense and Smart Sidebar – help needed for solution

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 12

It’s 2018, and by this point I’m hoping someone has this figured out!

First, we all know that Google AdSense ads cannot be placed in a “floating” box, so we can’t use the feature TagDiv calls the “Smart Sidebar” with those ads.

Second, we all know having a big empty space at the bottom of our sidebars is BAD since readers often look for something else to click on when they are done reading.

While I do have other non-adsense widgets to put on the bottom, I can’t find a way to make the stay at the bottom while the adsense widgets scroll with the page using TagDiv’s Newspaper Theme.

So how do/did you go about solving this?

– Is there any way to add Ads to the single post template that will appear not in the article itself but above the sidebar widget, and scroll with the page?

On the homepage builder you can add Ads, blocks, and a Widget Sidebar to the side of the layout, but after much searching and reading many documents I can’t see how this could be done on a single post or by editing the single post template.

– Is there any way to have two sidebars on a single post – a default on top and second a “smart” one on the bottom?

My searches turned on this turned up nothing 🙁

– Is there any way to stick or make smart just certain Widgets?

I tried Q2W3 Fixed Widget but the widgets disappear 🙁 No other free widgets seem to be available.

Hi,

Adsense ads are not supposed to be placed in a floating container, that is what Google recommends in the matter.
The smart sidebar can only be enabled or disabled, parts from it cannot be sticky while the rest is fixed.
Also two sidebars cannot be used on a post page. There will be content and sidebar (left or right), or no sidebar at all.
Something like that could only be done through theme modifications. Or maybe a user has managed to find a different possible solution.

Thanks
