Q: Custom code for measuring impressions when displaying advertisements

I am using AI to create custom code for measuring impressions when displaying advertisements.
If I insert the ad HTML later using JavaScript, please tell me the function name and event name for manually starting impression measurement.

A: I believe you're referring to the feature released in Pro 1.1.6. This hook allows you to write custom tracking code for your specific analytics provider instead of using local or GA4 tracking. The function name and the way the data is formatted is unique to your analytics provider. This is likely why the AI code is giving you an Uncaught TypeError - it probably just made up a function name....

Q: Iframes

Can iframes be used to show ads? I’m thinking of putting an offer in some pdfs, so it would be cool to change the offer centrally rather than hopping into all the pdfs.

A: You could probably use a text/code ad with iframe HTML in it. Point the src of the iframe to the PDF. Typically this type of ad is used or ad networks, but I think it should also accomplish what you're looking for.

Q: Ad Inserter Comparison?

Hi, I’m curious how your platform compares to the extremely popular wordpress plugins Ad Inserter (free) and Ad Inserter Pro (paid). Thanks

A: I haven't used Ad Inserter much beyond testing it out, but I can say the ideas are similar. Both automatically insert ads into portions of the site that you define in the admin. The UI is very different: I personally wouldn't hand Ad Inserter over to a client to manage, but I would Ad Commander. And that's not to say Ad Inserter isn't great. It just feels geared toward developers or experienced...

Q: Even page reloads, not ad displays, were measured as impressions. Is this a specification?

A: An impression is counted whenever the ad loads on the page - not necessarily when it scrolls into view. The exception is rotating ad groups, which count an impression each time the banner rotates into view.

Q: Quick question

Welcome!

I was literally looking for an ad management platform this week.

How do you guys compare to advanced ads?

Are there additional addon paid plugins or does this offer include everything?

A: Hello! Thanks for the question.

We have some overlap with Advanced Ads and similar plugins. The general idea is the same, and the data structure is similar (ads, groups, automatic placements).

Ad Commander's overall interface is a little more WordPress-y. You'll use a regular classic post interface and regular taxonomy interface for managing your ads.

There are a few of the higher-end...
