Hi – I wrote a message about this here:

Please give me your feedback if you can.

Thanks Marcolinu – this is very helpful. I will find time to work on this today.

@marcolinu: What was the name of your ad before it worked? Is there any additional info you can give me about this so I can reproduce? P.S. I did not get any notification from you on Skype

@chiefbrody2001: @marcolinu:

I am unable to replicate this. I added the ad code [ad#HTML] to a blog post, and it displays correctly (I set up an ad called ‘HTML’).

Can you give me more details on how you added? Did you add to a blog post, or another way?

If you want to contact me via skype my username is ‘switzer’.

Thanks

Hi – got the message. I am actively working on this and will provide a fix ASAP.

cleoni: how did you insert your banner? Was it included in your post, in the sidebar, or in a widget?

Thanks for this report. I got rid of all errors that were cropping up by turning on PHP_DEBUG. This will be included in the next release.

Hi StressedR – I have the back end written for stats, and now just need to find time to write the front end. I will try to get to it this weekend.

Seems like the term ‘advertising-manager’ is being blocked by ad blockers! I will look into the ramifications of changing this part of the URL to ‘advman’.

Seems like this is a pretty big problem. I will look at what text is keying the ad blocking, and change it.

gb_techie: The beta ad quality script had an issue with certain versions of IE. This has been resolved. You do not need to upgrade Advertising Manager.

Thanks for reporting.

tatinystavat: I do not see the ad in your example. Did you remove it?

rodrimar: in general, the ad quality integration will allow an advertiser to check the URL of the publisher so that they can be sure of the page where they are displaying the ad.

This sounds simple to do, but there are a number of ad networks, exchanges, and other parties that actively try to change the URL so that an advertiser thinks that their ad is on the intended site (e.g. like ebay.com), when in reality it is running in a sophisticated nest of IFRAMES that look like they are coming from ebay but are actually coming from pirate bay!

The way that advertisers deal with this is that they create a ‘white list’ of publishers that they are willing to advertise on. This is a sub-optimal method because of two reasons:

1. There are millions of legitimate websites with quality users that do not get access to ads from these advertisers, because they are not on the advertiser’s ‘white list’.
2. The websites that are already on the ‘white list’ are inaccurately treated as 100% ‘good’, when in reality some ads are being shown on other sites and being fraudulently represented as showing on the white listed website.

If ad quality tools are successful, many more publishers will have access to higher quality ads, and large publishers (that are already on the white list) will get higher fill rates and CPMs, and overall the ad dollars will flow to the right people.

To enable, just click ‘enable ad quality’ from the ad settings in WordPress admin screen.

I spend a lot of my time on ad quality, and am building a company called AdQ which will solve a lot of quality issues for advertisers.
