Thank you for reaching out about the issue you're experiencing with ad blocking using the meta tag and Ezoic's Restrict Ads tool. While I don't have specific information about the Restrict Ads tool's functionality with meta tags, I can provide some general troubleshooting steps based on common issues with ad display on Ezoic-integrated sites.
First, it's important to ensure that your Ezoic integration is functioning correctly. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot:
Verify that Ezoic is turned on in your dashboard under 'Ezoic Ads' > 'Split testing'.
Confirm that your domain has been approved for Google Ad Manager MCM (Multiple Customer Management).
Check if you have set up ad placeholders correctly.
Clear your browser cache to ensure you're seeing the most up-to-date version of your site.
Check for any external, incompatible caching tools that might be interfering, such as Cloudflare page-level rules or Varnish cache.
If all of these aspects are in order and you're still experiencing issues with the meta tag-based ad blocking, here are a few additional things to consider:
Ensure that the meta tag is being correctly inserted and is visible in the source code when viewing the page as a logged-in subscriber.
Double-check the syntax of your meta tag to make sure it exactly matches what's expected by the Restrict Ads tool.
Verify that the Restrict Ads tool settings are correctly configured to recognize and act upon the specific meta tag you're using.
Consider testing with a different method of ad restriction (e.g., URL-based) to see if the issue is specific to the meta tag method.
If you've gone through these steps and are still encountering issues, it would be helpful to provide more details about your setup and any error messages you might be seeing. This will allow the community to offer more specific assistance tailored to your situation.
