ad panel in backend. every ad block has an option named
Display criteria where you can select groups who should or shouldn't get the ad code!

right. it's possible to do it in page_container using something like this from here:
but do consider to just move your ad codes to advertising section for better control!
If you are just putting the ad code in header section of page_container, get this addon. Much easier to manage.
Code:
14. a Hide content for only one user group
Code:
<xf:if is="{{!$xf.visitor.isMemberOf(x)}}">
Hide content...
</xf:if>but do consider to just move your ad codes to advertising section for better control!
If you are just putting the ad code in header section of page_container, get this addon. Much easier to manage.

Instead of editing page container you would find it very simple to use the Ad positions in xenforo
Admin Contro Panel > Setup > Advertising because there you can not only define which usergroups see specific ads in specified positions, but you can also define overall which templates don't serve ads. This is useful because Adsense may nag you if ads are shown on non public pages where they cannot check it.
If you want Auto ads then I'm sure Andy's addon is great, they all are,

I don't know about the addon, just saying that Andy's addons are very good. But without any addon you can just remove the script from the PAGE_CONTAINER anyway and put it in the built in Ad positions at Admin Contro Panel > Setup > Advertising. You just choose the position (e.g. over/under breadcrumbs etc) then put the code in the text field and choose user groups to show or hide.

Yes
Ignore that, it was my code as an example - you need to paste in your own code that Adsense gave you (ie what you put in PAGE_CONTAINER) , not my code which was just an example! Please don't paste in my ads or you will get nothing and I;ll get all the money from your site

i used to have automated advertisment. so they just fill a little bit everywhere..
now i have to open one for each position? or the "container sidebar above" is enough?
or i have to open , above , below.. then? which other options to filmm as much as possible? thank you

As I mentioned in my above post... if you are using auto-ads... And you need to place the ad code in page header... There is an addon that would add an ad location for header code. And it works out perfectly.
So, basically... Just install this addon:
And then setup an advertisement with location
If you want to use a default placements without using this addon, you probably need to use a location that is present in all pages where you want the ads to appear. So, I imagine pick one of the container placements.
Do remember that Google does not like ads to appear on non-content pages I believe. Advertising panel comes handy as you can disable the ad placement in a list of templates that you do not want the ads to appear in. Look into that after the ad is placed as per your satisfaction!

Container Content: Above seems like a good place. Just one would be fine as the code would appear throughout the forum pages. Individual sections are useful when you want to put ads manually at locations you want the ads to appear in.Do remember that Google does not like ads to appear on non-content pages I believe.

Prevent ads showing in these templates is the section where you can put in individual templates to not have the ad codes in.Attachments

No, you shouldn't, Google needs it's code to be in your website's code, and then he takes over.
By using out of box settings, you can control things like who sees them (ie where that code is available).
And, just to make it much more simpler, at start don't remove yourself from seeing ads, and test it, is it what you want, etc. I never removed myself from seeing ads, so I knew if something was wrong with them. I use adblocker, but never on my sites.
If you will have some issues, then we can start testing why you have them.
