    So far the plugin seems great, but the only thing that concerns me is that the ads that are generated are not given ad slot #’s when I view the source code. These ads also do not show up under my adsense ad units, or under the channel that I have designated.

    Other than my client # being visible according to adsense the ads that i created through this plugin do not exist or are not listed under my account. Does this plugin work and why can’t adsense see these ads?

      This plugin use old style adsense code (still supported by google for the foreseable future) in order to auto generate the code on the fly. To see the specific performance of the generated ad, use a custom channel to track.

    First of all, great plugin!
    Secondly, I would like to see some more options in terms of investments in the posts.
    For example, I always want to have, say, a banner in the middle of the post and then a large rectangle at the end of the post without the rectangle and banner kills spot so I decide when where and what ads to be displayed was without it being random.

    Hi, I am unable to customize any Adsense ads, including the header. I installed this plugin on another site that is running the same version of WordPress (version 3.3.1) and it works just fine for some reason. I deactivated other Adsense plugins installed so I’m not sure why I am unable to customize the header or any other units (I can only change the colors but not the ad formats). Any ideas? Is there a way to install the previous version of this plugin to see if that one will work? Thanks

      If it works fine on your other site, then it could be a problem with the theme, if you are also using the same theme, then maybe there’s a conflict with another plugin which modifies the header, try disable all other plugins.

    Is this still supported or updated?
    I can’t seem to find it in the WordPress plugin catalog anywhere?

    If not, what is the reasoning?
