  • So Far So Good

    Features I like Related Posts Ads.txt Header and footer option I have the option to use HTML, JS, shortcode, banner image or double banner. I can also choose which devices get to view the ad, as well as ad placement. Output position is available, as well as url blacklist In comparison to Advanced Ads and Ad inserter, Setupads is clean, not bogged down with too many features, and it functions straight out the box. I had no issue with placement, or display. I also noticed that this plugin is actually compatible with Wordpress, while all the other plugins have not yet been tested. It's a clean plugin. It gets straight to the point, and it doesn't try to sell me as soon as I hit "activate". Best Ad plugin I've used thus far.
