So there are two (at least, that I know of) plugins for displaying ads: [image] Discourse Advertising Plugin (Ads) Plugin discourse2 Summary Discourse Advertising allows the set up of advertisements on Discourse open_book Install Guide This plugin is bundled with Discourse core. There is no need to install the plugin separately. warning AD-BLOCKERS If you are running an ad-blocker in your browser or through a vpn, the contents of your /admin/plugins page may be blanked out. Disabling your adblocker, using an incognito tab, or whitelisting your site should prevent this issue. Features … https://meta.discourse.org/t/google-adsense-plugin/11763 Has anyone used both, and can compare? In particular, doesn’t break Discourse support for displaying ads only to non-logged in (anonymous) users support for responsive ads ad placement - top/bottom of list/topic

I used both… Both are awesome :wink: :clap: :thumbsup: The official has got more options for ads, the @michaeld’s one is only for adsense. The official do not break Discourse. I do not use Michael’s now. But do not break my discourse either. For ad placement, read the info for each plugin, both are great.

[image] SidV: Both are awesome I don’t know about that. Michael’s plugin doesn’t support responsive ads and can’t show ads only on topics. The official plugin doesn’t support responsive ads either, and can’t support displaying ads only to anonymous users, unless you hack the CSS to hide the ad (which means logged in users still waste time and bandwidth downloading the ad).

[image] dandv: The official plugin doesn’t support responsive ads either, and can’t support displaying ads only to anonymous users I don’t think this is true any more @neil?

The official plugin supports AdSense responsive ads. To only show ads to anonymous, you can add trust level 0 (i.e. everyone) to the setting “no ads for group”.
