A setup checklist and site health tell you exactly what is missing. * **Everything in one free plugin** – AdSense, other networks, your own sponsors, placements, ads.txt, consent and statistics. No add-on needed for the basics. * **Built for page caching** – rotation, statistics and targeting rules run in the browser, so they keep working with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, Cloudflare and every other cache. * **Safe for your AdSense account** – Google’s exact ad markup, the only two ad labels Google allows, ads hidden from logged-in admins, and a failsafe that never lets a broken ad break your page. * **Fast** – the ad script and styles load only on pages that show an ad. #### Free features **Google AdSense: Auto Ads and ad units** * **Auto Ads in one step** – Google’s machine learning places the ads; exclude post types or single pages (contact, checkout…). * **All AdSense ad types** – display, in-article, in-feed and multiplex, with Google’s exact markup and responsive formats. * **Reusable ad units** – set an ad up once and use it everywhere: placements, the **AdFlow Ad block**, a widget or the `[adflow id="123"]` shortcode. * **Hide ads from logged-in administrators** – protect your account from accidental self-clicks. * **Optional ad label** – “Advertisements” or “Sponsored Links”, the two labels Google permits. **Automatic ad placements – no shortcodes** * **Before content, after paragraph N, after content** on posts, pages or any public post type. * **Shortcodes, a Gutenberg block and a classic widget** when you want an ad in one exact spot. **Fix “Earnings at risk”: ads.txt manager** * AdFlow serves the correct AdSense line from your Publisher ID – no file to upload. * Add lines for other ad networks, with validation, and a live checker confirms Google can read the file. **GDPR-ready: Google Consent Mode v2** * **Consent Mode v2** – “denied” by default for visitors from the EEA, UK and Switzerland, updated automatically by Complianz, CookieYes, Cookiebot or any WP Consent API plugin. * **Load ads after consent** – AdSense, other networks’ code and Ad Manager slots wait for your Google-certified (IAB TCF v2.2) message or consent plugin. Works with page caching. **Any ad network, and your own sponsors** * **Custom code units** for Google Ad Manager, Media.net, Ezoic or any other network, managed next to AdSense. * **Image banners and text ads** for sponsors, affiliates or your own offers, with` rel="sponsored"` links and a disclosure label. * **Scheduling** – start and end dates, with an AdSense unit shown when no campaign is running. * **Rotation groups** – several ads take turns, by weight or in order. * **Cookieless statistics** – impressions (counted when the ad renders), viewable impressions (IAB/MRC: 50% on screen for 1 second) and real clicks. Bots, prefetches and admins are filtered; only daily totals are stored, never IP addresses. * **Optional redirect-link click tracking** with `{ad_id}`, `{placement}`, `{site}` and `{cachebuster}` macros. **Find out why an ad is not showing** * **Ad Inspector** – one click in the toolbar outlines every ad on the page as filled, unfilled or blocked. * **“Will this ad show?”** – every ad lists what could stop it (schedule, targeting, consent, frequency). * **Site health** – Publisher ID, ads.txt, caching and consent checks on one dashboard. **Teams and agencies** * **Roles and permissions** – let editors or a sales team manage ads or view reports without admin rights. * **Approval workflow** – ads from users without the “Publish ads” permission wait for review, and reviewers are emailed. **Switch from another ad plugin in one click** Import ads, rotation groups, placements and (AdRotate and WP QUADS) statistics from** Advanced Ads, Ad Inserter, AdRotate and WP QUADS**. The other plugin does not need to be active, nothing in it is changed, importing twice never creates duplicates– and `[the_ad]`, `[adinserter]`, `[adrotate]` and `[quads]` shortcodes are answered by AdFlow, so no post needs editing. #### ⭐ AdFlow Pro: earn more, protect your account, sell ads [AdFlow Pro](https://matrixaddons.com/plugins/adflow/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=pro) is a separate add-on for this plugin.

Google processes visitor data under its own terms: [Google AdSense terms](https://www.google.com/adsense/new/localized-terms), [Google privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy), [How Google uses information from sites that use its services](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites). * **Google Funding Choices / consent messages** – only if you use Google’s own consent message in AdSense; AdFlow waits for it and does not load it itself. * **Your own site** – the ads.txt checker requests your site’s public `/ads.txt` URL to confirm it is reachable. No data is sent anywhere else. * **Custom code units** load whatever third-party code you paste into them; that network’s terms apply. AdFlow’s own statistics are stored in your WordPress database as daily totals. They use no cookies and store no IP addresses or visitor identifiers. #### More from MantraBrain * [Easy Invoice](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-invoice/) – invoices, quotes and payments in WordPress. * [Ultimate Watermark](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-watermark/) – protect your images with watermarks. * [Yatra](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yatra/) – tour and travel booking. * [Sikshya LMS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sikshya/) – create and sell online courses. ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard - status, setup checklist and site health at a glance.⌉⌊Dashboard - status, setup checklist and site health at a glance.⌉[ Dashboard – status, setup checklist and site health at a glance.

In your dashboard go to **Plugins Add New**, search for **AdFlow** and click ** Install Now**, then **Activate**. (Or upload the ZIP under **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**.) 2. Open **AdFlow Settings** and paste your AdSense **Publisher ID** (it starts with` pub-`; [where to find it](https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/105516)). 3. Turn on **Auto Ads**, or create an ad unit under **AdFlow Ad Units** and switch on a placement under **AdFlow Placements**. 4. Turn on **AdFlow Settings ads.txt** so AdSense stops warning “Earnings at risk”. 5. Check the **Dashboard**: the setup checklist and site health show anything left to do. Ads usually start showing within minutes; on a new AdSense site Auto Ads can take up to 48 hours. ## FAQ ### Is AdFlow free? Yes. The free plugin on WordPress.org has no limit on ads, placements or sites and adds no branding to your ads. [AdFlow Pro](https://matrixaddons.com/plugins/adflow/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=faq) is a separate plugin for earnings reports, click protection, advanced targeting and selling ads. ### What does AdFlow Pro add? An AdSense earnings dashboard inside WordPress, invalid-click protection, more placements( mid-article, between posts, sticky, popup, WooCommerce), targeting by device, visitor, category, post age and country, Google Ad Manager units, A/B rotation, and a self- serve “Advertise with us” page with advertiser reports. [See all Pro features](https://matrixaddons.com/plugins/adflow/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=faq-pro#pro). ### How much is AdFlow Pro? Personal (1 site) $49 a year or $129 once, Plus (5 sites) $99 a year or $249 once, Agency (25 sites) $149 a year or $399 once. Every plan includes every Pro feature, with a 14-day money-back guarantee, and Pro keeps working if a licence expires. [See pricing](https://matrixaddons.com/plugins/adflow/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=faq-price#pricing). ### Does AdFlow help me get approved for AdSense? No plugin can. You apply at [adsense.google.com](https://adsense.google.com/). Once approved, AdFlow adds your code, ads.txt and ads in minutes. ### Why are my ads not showing? While logged in, open a page and click **AdFlow Inspect ads on this page** in the toolbar. Each ad is labelled Filled, Unfilled (Google had no ad – common on new or low-traffic sites) or Not requested (blocked by an ad blocker, a rule or missing consent). Then check **Site health** on the AdFlow Dashboard. Remember that ads are hidden from logged-in administrators if you turned that option on. ### What is ads.txt and how do I fix “Earnings at risk”? ads.txt is a public file that says who may sell ads on your site. Turn it on under** AdFlow Settings ads.txt** and AdFlow serves the correct AdSense line automatically; click **Check now** to confirm Google can read it. The warning in AdSense clears after Google recrawls the file, usually within a few days. ### Can I insert ads automatically without shortcodes? Yes. Create an ad unit under **AdFlow Ad Units**, then enable a placement (before content, after paragraph N, after content) under **AdFlow Placements**. Pro adds mid-article, between posts, before comments, sticky and WooCommerce placements. ### Can I use Auto Ads and manual ads together? Yes. Many publishers use Auto Ads plus a few fixed units in their best positions. You can also exclude Auto Ads from chosen post types or pages. ### Does AdFlow work with other ad networks and Google Ad Manager? Yes. Paste any network’s code into a **Custom code** ad unit (Google Ad Manager, Media.net, Ezoic and others) and place it like any other ad. AdFlow Pro adds native Google Ad Manager (GPT) units with sizes and key-value targeting. ### Is AdFlow GDPR-compliant? AdFlow supports Google Consent Mode v2 (“denied” by default in the EEA, UK and Switzerland) and can load ads only after consent from a Google-certified IAB TCF v2.2 message or a consent plugin (Complianz, CookieYes, Cookiebot or any WP Consent API plugin). Its own statistics use no cookies and store no IP addresses. ### Does it work with page caching and CDNs? Yes. Rotation, statistics, device and traffic rules (and Pro’s country targeting and frequency caps) run in the browser or read a CDN header, so they keep working with any page cache. ### Can I show my own banners or sell ad space? Yes. Create an ad unit of type **Image banner** or **Text ad**, add the link and optional start and end dates. It gets a “Sponsored” label and a `rel="sponsored"` link by default, and impressions and clicks appear under **AdFlow Reports**. [AdFlow Pro](https://matrixaddons.com/plugins/adflow/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=faq-sell) adds a self-serve “Advertise with us” page, advertiser report links and emails. ### Can I switch from Advanced Ads, Ad Inserter, AdRotate or WP QUADS? Yes, under **AdFlow Settings Switch to AdFlow**. Ads, groups, placements and ( AdRotate and WP QUADS) statistics are imported; the old plugin can then be deactivated and its shortcodes keep working. ### Will AdFlow slow down my site? No. Its script and styles load only on pages that show an ad, the front-end script is small and deferred, and Pro adds lazy loading with reserved height so ads cause no layout shift. ### I upgraded from an older version. Do I need to change anything? No. All shortcodes (`[adsense]`, `[adsense_banner]`, `[adsense_inarticle]`, `[adsense_infeed]`,`[ adsense_multiplex]` and the older `[adsense_matched_content]`), blocks and settings keep working with unchanged output. New features stay off until you turn them on. ### Which shortcodes are available? [adflow id=”123″] shows a saved ad unit (recommended). For a single AdSense unit:`[ adsense ad_slot="1234567890"]`, `[adsense_banner]`, `[adsense_inarticle]`, `[adsense_infeed layout_key="..."]` and `[adsense_multiplex]`. The **AdFlow Ad** block does the same visually. ### Where can I get help? Read **AdFlow Docs** in your dashboard, or ask in the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-adsense/). AdFlow Pro customers get priority email support. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/08a6c3220fef932c178273694307e9b8949164f6793742d5265a5eddcc1d0739? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[80](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/80-348/)󠁿 [Martin Rad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/itsabc/) شتنبر 12, 2025 i love it ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7f77540ad6f252a31514fbbe53e15b7b2de6cf9600a3ea97592f1c3934af0461? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Found a Plugin I Can Use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/found-a-plugin-i-can-use/)󠁿 [James](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jamiereilly273/) غشت 16, 2021 I've tested many but this one is the easiest one I have used so far, just put my PUB ID in and then set up my Google AdSense and within minutes they were showing, no extra code or anything, so simple to use.

Both forms, and a bare ID, are now accepted * **FIXED**: Configuration errors were printed into the page for logged-out visitors; they are now shown only to users who can change the settings * **SECURITY**: The Publisher ID is escaped before it is written into the page, and all admin screen output is escaped * **NEW**: Auto Ads now uses Google’s current snippet over HTTPS, replacing the deprecated `enable_page_level_ads` call * **NEW**: The block is registered from `block.json` using Block API v3 * **IMPROVED**: Tested up to WordPress 7.1; now requires WordPress 6.3+ and PHP 7.4+ * **IMPROVED**: The ad stylesheet and AdSense library load only on pages that actually contain an ad * **IMPROVED**: Translation files load from the plugin’s `/languages` folder, which previously pointed at a folder that did not exist * **IMPROVED**: The settings page no longer hijacks other admin forms, and its misleading “Auto-saving…” indicator has been removed #### 1.2.0 | 2025/07/28 * **NEW**: Added Manual Ads support with shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks * **NEW**: Implemented comprehensive documentation sidebar * **NEW**: Added multiple shortcode types (banner, in-article, in-feed, matched content) * **NEW**: Created Gutenberg block with visual editor integration * **NEW**: Enhanced error handling and user guidance * **NEW**: Added Publisher ID and Ad Slot ID creation guides * **IMPROVED**: Modern, responsive admin interface design * **IMPROVED**: Better Auto Ads integration and configuration * **IMPROVED**: Enhanced CSS styling for all ad types * **IMPROVED**: Added help links to official Google documentation #### 1.1 | 2024/03/22 * Tested with version 6.5 * Basic Auto Ads functionality ## Meta * Version **1.4.0** * Last updated **5 ساعات ago** * Active installations **3,000+** * WordPress version ** 6.4 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.2** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Languages * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-adsense/), [Spanish (Chile)](https://cl.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-adsense/), [Spanish (Colombia)](https://es-co.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-adsense/), and [Spanish (Spain)](https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-adsense/). * [Translate into your language](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/simple-google-adsense) * Tags * [ad inserter](https://ary.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ad-inserter/)[ad manager](https://ary.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ad-manager/) [ads](https://ary.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ads/)[ads.txt](https://ary.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ads-txt/) [adsense](https://ary.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/adsense/) * [Advanced View](https://ary.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-adsense/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 2 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-adsense/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-adsense/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-adsense/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-adsense/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-adsense/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-adsense/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-adsense/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ MantraBrain ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mantrabrain/) * [ MatrixAddons ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matrixaddons/) ## Support Got something to say?
