On the chemical website we have 9 ads, 4 in a group in the header, 2 in a group in the sidebar and 2 single sidebar ads. The 2 single sidebars ads get roughly 1500 impressions a day but the ads in the groups get double digit views, about 100 impressions in total, should that total be closer to 1500?
The eastanglia site has 3 single ads 1 in the header, 1 in the sidebar and 1 in the main body and they all return different values.
Thanks for that, the shortcodes do work fine with the placement of ads, in the header, sidebar etc but it’s just the stats on the ads that we are trying to get to the bottom of, why the numbers don’t seem to match with our website traffic.
I think I’ll contact the theme developers next to see what they say.
The shortcodes do work but the stats were not picking up and you suggested using php snippets instead of shortcodes. I’m not exactly sure where to use the php snippet, where to place the code?
I put the short code in the theme ad box, add custom code.
I’m not sure if I am doing this correctly but here is how I tried.
I used a plugin to convert php snippet to shortcode eg <?php echo adrotate_group(10); ?> which converted to [wpcode id=”14407″] and inserted that into header template but nothing was displayed on page, the usual [adrotate group=”10″] displays ok.
Does that look right? Is that the right php snippet or should I put it straight into theme?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time so far.
