Hi Admin ---

I successfully finished all setups for AdSense (including AdFree and domain registration to ProBoards) for my forum. I also added my new custom domain to my AdSense account for the review.

One question. Where do I need to insert a AdSense Code?

In a global header box? (and/or a footer box?)

or

Between <head></head> found in Admin > Themes >Layout Template >Forum Wrapper ?

Hi quest4support

If you add it to the Forum Wrapper you would have to add it to every theme you have, so to make things a lot easier for you, I would add it to the first line of the Global Header, then you only need to add the one copy of the code.

I added my custom domain to AdSense and it seems AdSense is reviewing my forum now.

This morning I got this message from AdSense:

"...We found your ad code on one or more sites that aren't on your Sites list. To avoid lost revenue, make sure you add all your sites to this list....

boards.net : Is this your site? We've detected your ad code on the site below. If it's your site, click Yes to add it to your Sites... "

My forum's original url is xxx.boards.net. Do I need to add my original forum address to AdSense in addition to my custom domain address? I think AdSense only considers my custom domain. Am I correct?

Here are some historical posts regarding the subject as well as some AdSense-specific reference material, hopefully it clears it up for you in case you missed a step }else{ please await a member of the Support Admin team

if you are using Google AdSense, generally they require an ads.txt file to be added to the forum. This can be done by going to Admin > Marketing > Authorized Digital Sellers.

only the main admin had access to ads.txt area of the admin panel.

You must have a custom domain if you want to run Google Adsense. Google only allows one adsense code per a domain and since we already have our own running on our domain you'll need your own so that Google can differentiate between us.

Hi please can you help me I've signed up to google Adsense but I have the "You need to fix some ads.txt file issues." message and a code google.com, pub-4781083086718130, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0 but I have no idea where I need to paste it too I've read their guide but I'm still at a loss.

Any help would be great.

If your forum is adfree, you should see a section under the Marketing tab in your forum's administration area where you edit the ads.txt file and paste that code in. If you run in to any problems, let us know

AdSense site management

<Next: Add a new site to your sites list

You can build a list of your sites to use in AdSense on your Sites page. Explore this article to learn about AdSense site management and its benefits.

If you want to show ads on a new site or set up site-level blocking rules, you first need to add your site to your sites list. You can add any site that you own that complies with the AdSense Program policies.

Adding your sites protects you from malicious use of your ad code by others. The sites in your sites list are the only sites that are permitted to use your ad code. If a site displaying your ad code is not on your list of sites, then no ads will show on that site.

To access your sites list:

About the AdSense code

<Next: Get and copy the AdSense code

'The AdSense code' is the name of the HTML snippet that you put on your site to get Auto ads and a range of other AdSense features. To get the most out of AdSense, place the AdSense code on every page across your site. Learn how to get the AdSense code.

Tip: WordPress user? Get help with adding AdSense code.

Limitations

Auto ads and ad unit code
You can use the AdSense code to get Auto ads, but Auto ads now works through any AdSense ad unit code. Note that this behaviour may not work correctly for ad unit code that is used dynamically, through an ad server, or used via a host partner website.
Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)
AMP pages require different ad code from the AdSense ad code. For more information, go to:

In this guide:

It says:

"Copy and paste the ad unit code in between the <body><body/> tags of your pages where you want ads to appear."

Where will I find the <body><body/> on my board to paste?

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<!-- WhatsbevBar -->

<ins class="adsbygoogle"

     style="display:inline-block;width:1130px;height:110px"

     data-ad-client="ca-pub-4781083086718130"

     data-ad-slot="9656939226"></ins>

<script>

     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

</script>

I would recommend reviewing the instructions provided by Google when you set up your Adsense account. As I understand they provide code you use to place on the forum for the ads to be displayed.

The code should be able to be used in a header/footer or layout template, based on where you would like the ad(s) to be displayed.

Code implementation guide

Get and copy the AdSense code

<Next: How to paste the ad code in your page

You get and copy the AdSense code from the Ads page in your AdSense account. How you generate the AdSense code will depend on whether you're using Auto ads or ad units. Note that for Auto ads you only need the AdSense code, but for ad units you need the AdSense code plus the ad unit code.

How to get and copy the code for Auto ads

To generate the AdSense code for Auto ads, you first need to set up Auto ads for your entire site. If you've already done this, you can get the AdSense code by following these steps:

Sign in to your AdSense account.
Click Ads.
Click Get code.
Click Copy code snippet.

Tip: After you've copied the AdSense code, the next step is to paste it between the <head> and </head> tags of your page. Learn where to place the AdSense code in your HTML.

How to get and copy the code for ad units

To generate the code for ad units, you first need to create an ad unit. If you've already done this, you can get the AdSense code and the ad unit code by following these steps:

Sign in to your AdSense account.
Click Ads.
Click By ad unit.
In the 'Existing ad units' table, find the ad unit whose code you want to get.
Hover over the ad unit and click Get code .
Copy all of the ad unit code.

Tip: After you've copied the ad unit code, the next step is to paste it into the HTML of your page. Learn where to place ad unit code in your HTML.

Ad units

Create a display ad unit

<Next: About the responsive behaviour of display ad units

To create a new display ad unit that you can manage within your account, follow these steps:

Sign in to your AdSense account.
Click Ads.
Click By ad unit.
Click Display ads.
Give your ad unit a name. We suggest using a unique, descriptive name to help you find your ad unit later.
In the "Ad size" section, choose the size of the ads that you’d like to show:
- We recommend that you leave Responsive selected. Responsive ads automatically adapt their size to fit your page layout and your users' devices. Learn more about the responsive behaviour of display ad units.
- If you prefer to specify the size of the ads that appear on your page, select Fixed and enter the required width and height. Note that fixed-sized ad units may have a limited pool of ads available, which might result in lower earnings than using responsive. For more information, see our guidelines for fixed-sized display ad units.
  Tip: See examples of the most common fixed ad sizes.
Click Save and get code.
Copy and paste the ad unit code in between the <body><body/> tags of your pages where you want ads to appear. If you're not sure how to do this, you might want to review our code implementation guide.
Click Done.
It usually takes a few minutes for ads to appear on the page, but occasionally it can take up to an hour. If ads still aren't showing after an hour, check that your site has a status of 'ready' on your Sites page.

Tracking the performance of display ad units

You can track the performance of your display ad units by viewing the Ad units report on your Reports page. If you want to track the sizes of the ads that have been served from your ad units, view the Creative sizes report.

FYi - Chris 's post provides all the answers you need to get your AdSense setup correctly - and just to clarify this one point, the included quote by Michael answers this question. You do not add your original url xxx.boards.net, "as we already have our own {AdSense} running on our domain..."

Thanks! yes, I have read all AdSense documents.

When I say "AdSense code" is a code for "website identification" by AdSense.

e.g.

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?xxxxxx" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

Let's go back to my original question. Where is the right place for this code?

"> Structure > Headers & Footers > Global Header & Footer > Header (text box)" is the right place to insert AdSense Code? (as Nscalerr explained above)

OR

Between <head></head> found in Admin > Themes >Layout Template >Forum Wrapper is the right place?

OR

in the ads.txt?

developers.google.com/adsense/platforms/transparent/ads-txt

Could you make this clear and confirm it? I did not hear anything from AdSense yet.

Thanks!
