Hi codeblue001,
thanks for reaching out.
Can you please be more specific about your use case, website and the settings you are using?
Usually, hiding the ad label is the awaited behavior for placements not showing ads.
Is this about ads getting blocked by an ad-blocker? Because showing alternative in that case would only be possible by using the ad-blocker features from Advanced Ads Pro.
I’d also suggest using fallback ads, so there is always at least an image ad to show.
Best regards,
Henning
@henningaa thanks for the feedback. I also thought by default the ad label should not be visible unless there was an ad. The label looks great when there is an ad, but when there are no ads, it is still visible.
I only did three things in advanced ads to get the label.
1. I selected the “enabled” radio button in Advanced ads
2. I selected the “center” option for the position in Advanced ads
3. Added inline CSS:
color: #aaa; float: left; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 1.5px; margin: -13px 0 0; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;
width: 100%; padding-top: 8px;
I will explore the option of using a fallback ad.
Thanks!
Hi codeblue001,
thanks for the reply.
Can you please let me know about which type of ad and placement we are talking here? I still struggle re-creating your reported behavior.
The label looks great when there is an ad, but when there are no ads, it is still visible.
Is it when there’s no ad assigned to the placement, or why is there no ad showing?
Best regards,
Henning
Hi @codeblue001
have you seen my last message?
Was the issue solved in the meantime?
Please let me know if I can provide additional support, close this thread if solved, or open up a new one with a new question.
Best regards,
Henning
Hi @henningaa Sorry, I am just seeing your message. At the moment I have removed the labels, however, to answer your question. I am using Prebid, so I don’t always have an ad in the placement.
Thanks
Hi Codeblue001,
thanks for the feedback.
It is quite difficult for Advanced Ads to check if an ad space was filled or not after the ad code was injected and executed.
There is an example for developers to do this with AdSense ads. Maybe this helps to find a way to achieve your goal.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Best regards,
Henning
