How to prevent ads from showing up on a particular Page(s)
“I don’t want to show ads on my Contact Page”, “How can I prevent ads from showing up on my About us page”
I have been asked these questions several times since I began working on WordPress Projects.
Wp-Insert has an easy way to accomplish just this.
Suppose I don’t want to show the ad above my page/post content on my Contact Us Page.
I head over to Wp-Insert – Manage Ads (Posts and Sidebars) page and expand the “Ad – Above Post Content” Section.
Now in the “Exclude on Posts/Page” section you can either directly enter the page/post ids of the pages/post you want to prevent the particular ad from showing up or you can click the tiny search button on the right to bring up the Post/Page picker Popup.
(If the pop-up stopped appearing after an upgrade just clear your browser cache and it should reappear. If it still doesn’t appear try deleting and then reinstalling the plugin)
Now you can pick the posts/pages using the buttons or by double clicking the page titles in the left box. Similarly to remove posts/pages from the selection you can use the icons or double click them in the right box.
Click OK. and Save the Entire page.
Preventing ads from showing op on particular pages is a feature that’s missing in many other plugins.
Some plugins which impliment them does not have the provision to control the ads indivigually.
On most occasions we would want the ads embedded inside the post only to be eliminated from a particular page or post and would want to continue showing them on other parts of the site.
Some sites have even used this feature to include page specific tracking codes.

How to temporarily deactivate ads on my blog
On many occassions you might want to stop showing a particular ad block on your blog.
On one occassion I used to promote a particular product on one of my blogs. That product was giving me very little click throughs and I decided its high time I stop promoting this product as people doesn’t seem to be interested in it anymore. I wanted to stop the ad from showing up until I find another one which I can place in its place.
The product link was inserted above my posts using wp-insert. So I opened up the “Manage Ads (Posts and Sidebars)” menu and expanded the “Ads – Above Post Content” section
You can see the “Click to Deactivate” button on top of the block. Click it and then Click Save and the ad will stop showing up immediately.
When you are ready with your new ad code or if you decide to promote the same ad again you can come back later and Click the “Click to Activate” button followed by the “Save” button to begin serving the Ad again.
