We have been using one already but are facing some issues in it like that plugin is unable to show the correct number of impressions and clicks, the geolocation feature also doesn’t work properly, we are unable to set the location as per our preference. This is the reason why we are planning to switch so we wanted to confirm if these features will work properly in the pro version of this plugin. The 3 important features which we want: 1. Correct number of impressions 2. Correct number of clicks 3. Setting the geolocation as per our preference * Please confirm if these will be available from your end. We tried to reach you via the contact form but didn’t get a response so writing here in the forum now. * Can you please connect with us at “support@forcetalks.com” at the earliest possible. - This reply was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [amaurya575](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amaurya575/). * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-401/#post-15403786) * Hello, * we respond to all queries. Maybe the answer ended in the spam folder. * 1. That depends on your definition of “Correct”. The plugin records impression of the block after the page is fully loaded, ad code inserted, ad not hidden, the page should not have javascript errors, the code must not be blocked,… 2. That depends on your definition of “Correct”. The plugin records click on the blocks – the same as above: [https://adinserter.pro/documentation/ad-impression-and-click-tracking](https://adinserter.pro/documentation/ad-impression-and-click-tracking) * 3.

I am talking about the current plugin we are using. This one gives unrealistic data of impressions and clicks and also its geolocation feature does not work properly even in the paid version. * So I am asking if you can assure us that if we buy the pro version of your plugin and use it, will we get the accurate and realistic data and also the geolocation feature will work as expected? * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-401/#post-15403855) * I described how Ad Inserter Pro works, I have no clue about your current solution. Not sure what “realistic” tracking is – this mainly depends on the definition of the “realistic”. Each tracking solution uses own algorithms. The plugin tries to track impressions and clicks as described. * Geolocation works as described – however, it also depends on the database you will be using and the IP address used by the visitor. The plugin provides an interface between visitors (and their IP address) and the database used for IP to country mapping. * Thread Starter [amaurya575](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amaurya575/) * (@amaurya575) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-401/#post-15404033) * > “The plugin records impression of the block after the page is fully loaded, > ad code inserted, ad not hidden, the page should not have javascript errors, > the code must not be blocked,…” * by this statement, we assume that if we are following all the mentioned points here then it will be counted as 1 impression after the page loads. This is what we want to confirm because our current plugin records it as 90 (or 10 or 9 ) impressions or any random number. * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-401/#post-15404057) * 1 impression * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-401/#post-15404924) * Of course, assuming there is only one insertion of the block on the page. Multiple insertions of the same block will create multiple impressions.
