Hi Everyone,
I am trying to apply adsense (account already approved) inside blog posts as per the instructions given by wix but no matter what I try, it does not work. The only way it works is if I try the adsense app but it completely defeats the purpose since you can only place the ads on the sideline (an area which has extremely low CPM). Wix claims (and continue to claim) that we can place adsense code inside blog post using HTML element but I think they are just bluffing at this point. Has any of you been successful in achieving this ?
Hi Manas,
Thanks for contacting us. We are very sorry to hear that our service didn’t meet your expectations. Wix Blog supports user inserted code as well as Adsense, which uses google script to insert ads inside the post. Check out this post, it uses wix blog and has Adsense ad inside the post. There are more sites using it successfully. We know that in some cases google insert code does not work reliably, resulting 403 error on the remote call to google servers when trying to load ads inside the post. Therefore we recommend you to use the Google AdSense app in place of HTML codes within blog posts. The Google AdSense app tends to work much more reliably at this time rather than using HTML codes.
Guys, for the benefit of others who are wondering what is going on, I received email confirmation from Wix support that they have known all along that this is a defect and functionality is broken. Support keeps redirecting us to the webpage with instructions eventhough they are well aware that it will not work. As per the email I received, they are unable to provide any timeline as to when this issue will be fixed. Based on all my research, it seems like this major issue has been persisting for few months now. the only resolution they have is to use adsense through the adsense app and put ads on the margins, something which every webmaster knows that results in lowest CPM's and is useless if you are trying to earn something through adsense.
