 * Hi there
    any help would be massively appreciated.
 * When we installed amp in Nov, we selected Classic to start and it created /amp
   canonical versions of the URL for indexing. This was done because we got the 
   error “Warning: There is content which fails AMP validation” whenever Paired 
   was set up.
 * This worked just fine and they’re indexing in the SE’s
 * Now I see that PAIRED is a better option and want to implement. I tried turning
   on Paired, as I saw the error is just informational, but it just served the current
   theme website in mobile – so I have no idea if that was native or not.
 * Didn’t leave it on as I didn’t want to affect rankings.
 * My questions are:
    1. will implementing paired in any way affect SE rankings 
   if the /amp pages? Do they get removed or does Google just pick up the new page?
 * 2. We use Google Ad Manager (GAM) to serve ads on our desktop version, but the
   ads won’t serve at all on AMP. Is there a trick I’m missing? GAM wants special
   headers served in AMP pages, but In wordpress there’s no specific place for me
   to integrate the code to serve this header in AMP pages only.
 * Help would be super appreciated – i’m in deep oceans here 😉
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Famp-implementation-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Using AMP in paired mode will not affect your ranking, provided the AMP version
   is not too different from the canonical content. Regarding the use of GAM together
   with AMP, the ad tags used have to be compatible with AMP. We cannot provide 
   support on that front, but there is documentation you can check, and also I suggest
   you check with the forums.
