Page views remain but ad impressions have taken a dive, anyone else have similar results?

Just wanted to say I made a couple adjustments and am now using the XF built in ad locations. Since the locations are different, I can't say for sure what is the cause for this. I could do some more testing but going to leave it for now.

If anyone is curious about which positions I'm using, this is the guide I followed. I'm assuming Ads Manager does these positions as well, so it is worth trying out.

Jeez, what a dramatic improvement the new locations have made it seems. I'm unconvinced it has anything to do with Ads Manager at this moment, I think its just coincidence, but I'm not going back to find out. Blue is estimated earnings, eligible page views and yellow is actual ads displayed.

So an improvement without this addon?
And just built-in XenForo ad placement?

Yes however I have no evidence to suggest there is anything wrong with ads manager. I changed it and its improved BUT since I modified my locations and have not tested the same locations in ads manager, nothing can be drawn from these conclusions. It's the ad locations which has made the difference I believe.
 
Also worth pointing out now I have no click fraud protection or internal analytics etc. Once I have a decent sample size I may enable the same locations in ads manager to see if it matters or not.

I do know that the ad blockers block tons of stuff including URLs that include the word "vendor" and "468x60" and "Ad" and various other key words which trigger or attribute toward a resource being blocked.

Thinking of this add-on as a replacement for @au lait's Keyword Management - but we need the ability to limit the number of words it replaces on the page, as well as within a post; so we don't overly spam our members - for example, limit to 1 per post and 3 on the page with either top-down placement or random. Is this possible with Ads Manager 2? If not, would it cost much to have it included?
 
I can add a page limit but it will be in order of keyword occurrence.
That would be great :) - without a page limit there's a possible issue with lots and lots of brand names being linked to the point where it looks really spammy over a 20-post long page.
 
I bought now Ads Manager 2.

How can I add a widget as ad? Because I want the add between to widgets.
But now I can only set above or below all widgets, how do I get an ad between the widgets?
Like, below new post and above forum statsic?
