The discussion revolves around removing the intrusive Google AdSense anchor ad on mobile devices for a Discourse forum. nekodroid initially asked for help in removing the ad, which they found visually too intrusive.
nekodroid later updated that they solved the issue by disabling AUTO ADS in their Google AdSense account. Viki suggested an alternative solution by adding overlays: {bottom: false} to the Adsense script, which nekodroid noted wouldn’t work with the built-in AdSense module they’re using.
Additionally, Husen_Mustanbhai_Ama inquired about temporarily disabling ads on their website, and Shaneod shared their experience with anchor ads, which boosted their revenue by 50% but caused technical issues and had to be disabled.
I’ve been running ads on my Discourse install successfully for like two hours now so I’m very happy. I’ve got a problem, tho.
I’ve set up ads using AdSense. Everything seems to be working (excerpt for some ads that are not loading sometimes), but when navigating on the mobile version of the forum, I see this horrible anchor ad (that’s the name of it according to Google AdSense documentation) on top/bottom of my screen. I hate it, it’s visually much too intrusive.
Is there any way to get anchor ads to work with discourse? Ran an experiment in Google Adsense and it would boost my revenue by 50% but it’s overlaying the reply button and other glitchy behavior that is annoying users so i had to disable it.
I don’t want this thing saying “Message de votre Ange Gardien” on my forum.
have a nice daayyy~~
