In Content and Sidebar Ads Not Displaying After Activating Journey

Comfort Oguejiofor

Hi,

After activating Journey, I noticed that in-content ads and sidebar ads are not showing, only the ad at the bottom of the screen is displaying.

Could you please check my website and let me know if there are any issues or steps I need to take?

    Hi Comfort Oguejiofor! Thanks for letting us know. We had our script recrawl the site, and you should be seeing the sidebar ad displaying now. In-content ads are targeted correctly as well. The script will optimally place ads in the content among paragraph tags, divs, and other elements. By design, there are some elements that it won't place ads after, like headings and spans. It looks like your site uses more of these elements than we typically see, so that would affect the number of in-content ads that are displaying. If you're able to make an adjustment so that the content paragraphs are semantically placed in paragraph tags or even just in divs, then you should see more in-content ads being placed. Thanks!!

    Please I checked now but I'm not seeing the sidebar ad or in-content ads displaying.

    Also, how do I make the adjustment so that the content paragraphs are semantically placed in paragraph tags or even just in divs, so I can see more in-content ads being placed.

    Hi Comfort Oguejiofor. The sidebar ad is displaying just fine on our end. It will display on desktop in the far left sidebar, and you'll need to scroll down on the page for it to show up.

    With regard to how your posts are formatted, you would need to rework the markup of how the posts are written - presumably via Blogger. We have an article on why pagebuilders don't typically work well with Journey that should be helpful - particularly the screenshot of what the content section (the screenshot is Wordpress but it's usually similar with Blogger sites) would look like on a typical site without a page builder. 

    On Blogger sites, typically the post content is within the .entry-content div and paragraphs are wrapped in <p> paragraph tags. On your site, the content is contained within an inner div in the .entry-content container, and the content is wrapped in <span> and heading tags. Ideally, you'd want to move the content directly into the .entry-content div and have text be contained in paragraph tags, etc… This would likely involve a good bit of editing, but once it's done ads should be able to display throughout your content. Thanks!!

Journey is Self Supported

Our support staff is monitoring this forum everyday for bugs related to ad delivery, the display and functionality of the Journey dashboard, and any bugs related to the onboarding process. We are typically unable to assist with non-bug related issues like RPM performance expectations, issues setting up the ads.txt file, and questions already answered by our existing help docs. Read here for a more detailed breakdown of how Journey is self-supported and our recommendations for how to find answers to common issues.
