Ads break page and cover content

buddytribe

I'm having a problem with ezoic ads completely overwhelming my site. They're everywhere! And I haven't figured out a good solution. Plus they cover my other content or their under the content. They break the page layout and it just looks bad. Here's an example. https://prnt.sc/a2MDMjullbw_ But there are more
Is there a way to place ads where I want them with code or something instead of letting the system do it? I had to turn off ezoic integration because it's just that bad. Thanks in advance.

buddytribe In order to troubleshoot the issue, I will need you to turn Ezoic integration back on. Once you have done this, can you please provide me with specific URLs that this is happening on? When you activate your Chrome Extension, are you able to see what ads are filling in or over your content?

I realized some of my mistakes, and am working on fixing them, but I was also hoping I could just insert ads where I want them to appear. Is that possible?

buddytribe you can use chrome extension to insert the ad where you want

buddytribe

I was hoping for more manual control so I can be sure that they don't overlap other content and fit where I want them to. So far, either I don't have the hang of the extension yet, or it doesn't give me quite the control I need. Is that possible? Thanks!

Saquib_Shaikh

Yeah, chrome extension you gives the control to place the ads where you want, try it out.

buddytribe

okay, I am working on that now. I am having several problems with the chrome extension. It's giving me several errors. they are...

Which of these are important and need to be fixed and which are just recommendations? I am using Peepso and want to continue. Is Peepso and Gecko not going to work here?

Also, some ads are not where I put them. I went back to see my placeholders and there is not a placeholder here. https://prnt.sc/F3Qv5fdmO1GG and here https://prnt.sc/kWyuW19myilg

Will that cache itself out?

Thanks!

I think things are working out as far as ad placement, but there's one ad that I cannot get rid of. It's above the sidebar and everytime I try to delete it, it gives me this error. https://prnt.sc/YGF74YxLJx4m
hope you can help. Thank you!

krivera

buddytribe Is it on a specific URL or all? I am having a hard time seeing what ad it is in this picture.

Saquib_Shaikh I can't get the video to play for some reason.

buddytribe Did you see my question?

buddytribe

krivera yes, it's strange. I go to delete an ad placement, but it gives me an error.. then it looks as if the ad was actually removed.

buddytribe

Here's an ad placement I'm trying to get rid of.. https://prnt.sc/Zwt4M1xTSXgd This is on www.buddytribe.com/register/ When I go to access my placeholders, and click here https://prnt.sc/4bEgrp10qbAR
then it gives me this error https://prnt.sc/_6-5ByTj738_

krivera

buddytribe Thanks for providing that information! Is it only on this URL that you see this happening? Or is it all URLs that are having the issue with this placeholder?

buddytribe

well, that particular problem is only on that URL, however, I never remember setting that placeholder so it may be on other pages too but right this second, I don't see any ads displayed. Strange.

krivera

buddytribe Can you send me the URL?

buddytribe

www.buddytribe.com/register/ Thanks!

krivera

buddytribe Okay, I was able to get that ad removed! Can you confirm that you see this as well?

buddytribe

krivera awesome. Yes, it's gone. Thank you!
