About this plugin
Quick Adsense is a free, lightweight ad manager for WordPress. Paste your Google AdSense code, or the code from any other ad network, and choose where it appears: inside posts, in sidebar widgets, or in the header and footer of your site. There is no Pro version, no upsell and no revenue sharing.
It has a simple settings page, and it does not overwhelm you with complicated options. It can also place ads at random positions within a post, which is a good way to try different ad formats and placements.
Features
- 100% free. No Pro version, no upsells, and no author revenue share on your AdSense or other ads.
- Ads in the post body: up to 10 ad slots, each with its own code, alignment and margin.
- Ads in sidebar widgets: up to 10 widget slots. Each widget appears in Appearance – Widgets once its code is entered.
- Header and footer code boxes, for AdSense Auto ads, verification snippets and tracking code.
- Automatic positions: beginning of post, middle of post, end of post, after the “more” tag, before the last paragraph, after chosen paragraphs (3 options) and after images.
- Markers: insert a short tag into a post to place a chosen ad, a random ad, or to switch ads off for that post.
- Support for any ad code, not only AdSense. Display up to 10 ads on a page.
- Country targeting: limit ads to specific countries.
- Device targeting: limit ads to specific devices.
- Visitor targeting: limit ads to specific types or sources of visitors.
- Local ad stats: a quick way to judge how each ad performs, stored in your own database.
- ads.txt helper: check for, and add, the AdSense line when the file is writable.
- Settings backups and one-click restore.
Sign up for a Google AdSense account to earn from your site, if you don’t have one.
Your ads are safe
An update should never cost you your ad codes. Quick Adsense saves a copy of its settings automatically before every plugin update and before every restore, and you can make a backup yourself at any time. From the Backups tab of the Quick Adsense page you can restore a backup with one click, or download it as a JSON file.
The five most recent backups are kept.
Every release is tested against 20 real site configurations, with a wide range of saved ad codes, before it ships. The tests check that what your visitors see, and what is stored in your database, stays the same.
Markers
Markers are short HTML comments that you put in a post to control its ads. They are invisible to readers.
- <!--Ads1--> to <!--Ads10--> place ad number 1 to 10 at that spot.
- <!--RndAds--> places a randomly chosen ad at that spot.
- <!--NoAds--> turns off all ads in the post.
- <!--OffDef--> turns off the automatic positions, so that only the markers you placed show ads.
- <!--OffWidget--> turns off the sidebar widget ads for that post.
- <!--OffBegin-->, <!--OffMiddle-->, <!--OffEnd-->, <!--OffAfMore--> and <!--OffBfLastPara--> turn off the automatic ad at the beginning, middle or end of the post, after the “more” tag, or before the last paragraph.
- <!--OffAds--> is an older marker that still works and turns off the ads in the post.
Quick Adsense and WP QUADS
WP QUADS – Quick AdSense Reloaded is a separate plugin. It began as a fork of Quick Adsense and is developed by a different team. This is the original Quick Adsense.
The two plugins store their settings separately, so installing or removing one does not change the other.
Requirements
7 or newer. 4.

Privacy
Quick Adsense does not send telemetry or site data to its authors. Optional ad click and impression statistics are stored locally in the WordPress database for up to 30 days.
The administrator-provided ad and tracking snippets execute in visitors’ browsers and may contact the third-party providers selected by the site owner. Those providers may collect data under their own terms and privacy policies. Site owners are responsible for choosing, configuring, disclosing, and obtaining any consent required for those snippets.
