Adslastica offers two simple ways to place ads on your website.
Manual Ads use shortcodes, allowing you to place ads anywhere shortcodes are supported, including posts, pages, widgets, homepage layouts, and most page builders.
Post Ads automatically insert ads into blog posts. Add your ad code to one of three Post Ad boxes, then choose where each ad appears automatically.
The plugin also includes Publisher ID cleanup and built-in ads.txt tools to help Google AdSense users complete their setup.
Features:
- Two manual ad slots with shortcodes
- Three Post Ad code boxes
- Automatically insert up to three ads into each post
- Five automatic post ad locations
- Before post
- After paragraph 2
- Middle of post
- Before last paragraph
- After post
- Add your Google AdSense Publisher ID
- Automatically clean common Publisher ID formatting mistakes
- Accept ca-pub, pub, or a 16-digit Publisher ID
- Generate a virtual ads.txt entry
- Detect an existing physical ads.txt file
- Check whether your ads.txt is publicly accessible
- Display the current ads.txt status
- Copy a manual ads.txt line with one click
- Simple and beginner-friendly interface
- Lightweight and easy to use
- Works with most modern WordPress themes and page builders
For best results, you can exclude your homepage from Google AdSense Auto Ads and use Adslastica to control where ads appear.
