Ads Manager 2 by Siropu

Ads Manager 2 by Siropu [Paid] 2.4.22

No permission to buy (€49.99)
I've recently started having an issue with "Invalid Traffic - AdSense for Content" on one of my sites and think it might be related to the ad manager software.

When I pull some of my daily stats it shows clicks on ads in positions that I don't have selected for that ad - usually "above email content" or "below email content". Is the software actually detecting clicks there? The ads should not be showing on that position as I don't have that selected.

I also tried the click fraud option where hides the ad for 24 hours after someone clicks it but it didn't solve the problem.

Has the lite version been update to fix the Adblock problem?
Tomorrow. I just need to do some tests and it's ready.

Javascript ads such as adsense cannot be loaded in emails so not sure how you get those in stats. Unless you manually type the click track URL in the browser but that doesn't affect adsense in any way since it is just a log.
 
On one of my sites, I get the following error in the server logs from my email ads. The file in the error does exist and is accessible via browser but doesn't show in the emails. I am using the latest version.

Thanks. Still working on this to figure out the click fraud on this site. This was probably not related afterall.
 
We are working on a difficult upgrade that does a cosmetic merge on several sites.

I have not been ablte to update to 2.2. I just visited your site and this product says that it requires xF2.2.

Is that true?

I was looking to update Ad Manager because I cannot get ads to work in any of the header areas in the way I expect them to. I am also confused by the "commented out" ad macros that appear in PAGE_CONTAINER. This section of the template is related to the logo.
Code:
        <xf:if is="property('uix_logoSmall')">
            <a class="uix_logoSmall" href="{{ ($xf.options.logoLink && $xf.homePageUrl) ? $xf.homePageUrl : link('index') }}">
                <img src="{{ base_url(property('uix_logoSmall')) }}"
                     alt="{$xf.options.boardTitle}"
                     />
            </a>
            
        </xf:if>
        <!-- xf:macro template="siropu_ads_manager_ad_macros" name="ad_unit" arg-position="header_above" / -->
        <!-- xf:macro template="siropu_ads_manager_ad_macros" name="ad_unit" arg-position="container_header" / -->
        <xf:macro template="siropu_ads_manager_ad_macros" name="ad_unit" arg-position="LogoRight" />

I apreciate any advice or help I can get.

You are using a custom style with modified positions. There are no positions commented out by default. And there is no "LogoRight" position also by default. Updating won't fix your header position problem since you need custom modifications for your style depending on where you want ads to be displayed.

The "LogoRight" position looks custom added and should display to the right of the logo. If you don't see it in your position list, just create a new position called LogoRight and should do the trick.
 
No. You can display an adsense ad and if it shows a blank ad you can show a backup ad but not vice versa.
You can also show a backup ad such adsense when you are selling ads and there are no paid ads running.

I tried running an adsense ad with infolink ad as a backup but it just showed both at the same time. Am I doing it wrong or does the backup ad just have to be an HTML ad?
 
@Siropu , thanks for being so on the ball. I was wondering if you might be thinking of adding a full page overlay type of ad for mobile devices? Something like the image example I attached below to help us encourage users to upgrade? It could be a static image with a button to click to user upgrades page too.

It would great if you do decide to look into this!

I am trying to install three skyscraper ads on the left side of the forum. This is how my xF1.2 forum looks today:

I'm not really finding that a predetermined place. I had erroneously posted elsewhere that I wanted it in "side bar", but that's on the right. Looking forward to figuring out how to add these types of ads
 
This is a part of a move from XF 1.3 to 2 and I'm changing my adserver to use yours. This is how the current Xf2.x looks

Can we weight ads? If so, how?

I sell advertisers "slots", and they get up to five ads within their slot. So Advertiser A only gives me one ad, while Advertiser B gives me five. If I can weight A's single add to 10 and all of B's adds to 2, then this will be perfect. I can then sell a "half" slot for some of the timid.

There are two positions for left sidebar called "Above sidebar navigation" and "Below sidebar navigation" but your style has to have left sidebar in the pages you want it displayed. But the left sidebar is at the same level as the right sidebar.

One way it can be done is to create a HTML widget with position "Forum list: Above nodes" with this content:

Code:
<xf:sidenav>
    <xf:macro template="siropu_ads_manager_ad_macros" name="ad_unit" arg-position="sam_sidenav" />
</xf:sidenav>

Then create a custom position in Ads Manager called sam_sidenav and use that for your ads.

If you want a custom left sidebar, you would have to talk to the style author and then place the Ads Manager position code directly there.

Can we weight ads? If so, how?
Each ad has a "Display priority" setting for that and it works with a package with display order set to "Random" but It is not 100% accurate.
