Ad management plugin with many advanced advertising features to insert ad codes at optimal positions.
Supports all kinds of ads including Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager (DFP – DoubleClick for publishers), Media.net , Infolinks and rotating banners.
This plugin is more than AdSense plugin or plugin for ads. It provides many advanced options to insert opt-in forms, header scripts, Javascript, CSS, HTML, PHP, analytics, tracking or advert code anywhere on the page.
Insert ads where other plugins fail.
It’s all about the settings.
Plugin reviews:
I’ve been using another ad placement manager for a couple years and just recently started using Ad Inserter.
I’m blown AWAY with the power and flexibility of it.
I can HIGHLY recommend this plugin to anyone looking for an easy way to manage ads within WordPress.
Difficult to choose, but certainly top 3 plugins I’ve ever used in WordPress, ever.

Check common settings
No revenue sharing and no such thing as “internal ads” or “our ads” on your website. Period. What you configure is what will be inserted (+ some internal scripts for plugin features).
Ad Inserter is free, open source plugin and inserts only the code you configure (blocks, Header, Footer). The code you see is the code that will be inserted. Please check page source code before you make any conclusion.
Ad Inserter is basically used to insert ad codes according to the settings.
When the code is not inserted where it is expected or the inserted HTML/Javascript code does not display anything, you as the site administrator can use debugging functions to diagnose insertions.
Those tools are normally available to the administrator of the website and are shown as a menu item in the admin bar.
You are probably using code for AdSense Auto ads.
Auto ads (known also as Page Level Ads) is a code that you insert on every page once and it will automatically display ads on positions chosen by the code.
The code uses Google’s machine learning to pick the best placements on your pages to show adverts.
Blank ad block means that the code is inserted properly, only the ad code doesn’t display ads.
This happens when Google for some reason does not serve ads for the website, page or specific ad block – the block remains unfilled.
Ad Inserter can detect, hide or replace blank AdSense blocks.
Please check Ads Not Displayed for more information.
