Implement AdSense on your WordPress site

AdSense Auto ads are a simple way to get started showing ads on your WordPress site. This feature allows AdSense to decide where,
how many and which ad sizes to place automatically.
Please note that the AdSense verification code is the same as the Auto ads code, so you might have it already implemented.

You can find it in the URL when you are logged into your AdSense account. It contains the prefix pub- followed by a lot of numbers.
You can also find your Publisher ID under Settings > Account > Account Information in your AdSense account.

AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) can speed up your website significantly giving your visitors a better user experience and increase visibility in search engines.
Ads on those pages are reported to have higher click rates and click prices than those on the default version.
Good for you, that you can convert your AdSense Ads into AMP with just one click now when using WordPress and Advanceds Ads.

Troubleshooting

This section is relevant if you cannot connect to your AdSense account under Advanced Ads > Settings > AdSense or the connection is lost.

  • Try to disconnect and re-connect your account again
  • The connection might not work when your account has more than 1.500 ads. This is not a hard limit, but something we saw occasionally
  • Make sure that your AdSense account is fully verified
  • Check if you connected with the right Google account
