I appreciate the warning… However, these are all private ad clients - CTR is better with them enlarged so I make a judgement call our clients wont mind. Thanks again.
Ads Manager 2 by Siropu [Paid] 2.8.1
- Thread starter Siropu
- Start date
@Siropu thank you for the amazing add on we have been using for years! I'm really now starting to tap into the power of using keywords. I do have one question.
I know setting up a keyword will show all the impressions of that key word after set up but is there a way to set up a keyword and then have the ad manager show me the keyword in all the places it was used PRIOR to setting up the keyword.
Example: I want to see all the times the word "Chevy" was used going forward and all the time prior.
Is that doable?

There isn't.
Because a text ad can have a small image displayed to the left but it is not required.
It is user group permission based.
What kind of ad type are you using?
I don't see any tracking issues in my tests. What value are you using for "View count condition" and "View count method"?
There is no reverse. This just overrides it each time is used.
All default settings I belive.
I've been testing Ad Unit Lazy Loading with AdSense and found that while Ads Manager correctly loads the ad markup when the ad unit reaches the viewport, the AdSense ad itself doesn't render. The <ins class="adsbygoogle"> is inserted along with the normal AdSense initialization script, but the dynamically inserted script isn't executed.
I fixed it with a small helper that watches lazy-loaded Ads Manager units and initializes AdSense after the markup has been inserted. I'm posting it here both for Siropu and in case anyone else using AdSense wants to implement lazy loading for their ad units:
This has been working reliably with AdSense code ads.
I've also been tracking the results in AdSense, and so far the results have been very encouraging. Before enabling Ad Unit Lazy Loading, my Active View viewability was averaging 40%. It is now averaging 57%, while impressions per page have dropped 29%. Despite serving nearly 30% fewer ad impressions, Page RPM has not declined and has actually been running slightly higher more recently.
It's much too early to know whether that increase is related to the improved viewability or simply normal variation, but there has been no indication so far that eliminating those low-viewability impressions has hurt revenue, just the opposite it has gone up.
The potential longer-term benefit is even more interesting. Viewability is a signal advertisers use when evaluating inventory and making bidding decisions, and campaigns can target inventory based on expected viewability. Eliminating impressions that are unlikely to be seen therefore improves the measured quality of the remaining inventory and potentially makes it more competitive for advertiser demand and higher bids.
Whether that is already contributing to the recent increase in Page RPM is impossible to say yet, again it may simply be normal variation. But the immediate result is clear: I've substantially improved the viewability of the inventory without sacrificing revenue.
I also experimented with having my helper preload lazy ad units shortly before they reached the viewport. After testing both ways, I removed the preload and now let Ads Manager handle the lazy-loading trigger normally. Since the ads are loading quickly enough without it, I don't currently see a benefit to the additional preload.
Some individual units showed just how many unnecessary impressions were previously being generated. My above-footer unit, for example, averaged 8% Active View before lazy loading and is currently averaging 52%.
Thought I'd pass this along in case you want to handle the AdSense initialization directly in Ads Manager when Ad Unit Lazy Loading is enabled, or in case anyone else using AdSense wants to use the helper in the meantime.

JavaScript:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {

const observer = new MutationObserver(() => {
const ads = unit.querySelectorAll('ins.adsbygoogle:not([data-adsbygoogle-status])');
if (!ads.length) {
return;
}
ads.forEach(ad => {
try {
(window.adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
} catch (error) {
console.error('AdSense lazy-load initialization failed:', error);
}
});
observer.disconnect();
});
observer.observe(unit, {
childList: true,
subtree: true
});
});

Suggestion: Turn off this feature so it is only text.
But while it is optional, I can't select an image size smaller that 200x200 and that is too big. Are we supposed to leave it blank and it will be small? What size so I can recommend the image uploaded. Thanks
You can use any size you want as long as you haven't set size restrictions in the package.
The width is set to 150px but you can change that via CSS if you want.
I just discovered the "Custom ad sizes" option in General settings. Added 100x100 and now I can select that for the package.
STILL an annoying bug.
If a usergroup discount is not active for a package, the discount link works and shows the quantity discount set in the package. But if a usergroup discount is active and you have a quantity discount for the package, the link appears BUT shows the usergroup discount amount (when logged in as a user with the group discount) and NOT the quantity discount. It should still show the quantity discount there, as, the usergroup discount is never shown there it is shown on the create page. Suggestion also: Perhaps shows ALL discounts, group and quantity, and have the link appear when it's only a group discount as well.
