Hi, sorry for the difficulties and delayed response. Yes, AdPlugg does work and is for real :). It’s currently serving millions of ads per day to thousands of sites and we have no known outages or issues.
Likely it is just an issue with your configuration. It’s hard to guess what it might be without taking a look at your site and account. If you could, please use our contact form and send us your AdPlugg username and the url of the website/page where you are trying to get ads to show. We can then take a look and will reply to you with what needs to be changed in order to get things working.
If you’d rather troubleshoot on your own, I’d recommend starting with a very simple configuration. To do that, remove the use of Zones, Placements, the Zone machine code, etc from the picture and just get serving a single ad to work. Once you’ve got that going, you can add complexity from there. This recipe from our cookbook shows you how to get going with a very simple configuration: Creating a Single Ad Using the WordPress Ad Plugin
If you’d like to see a couple of examples of AdPlugg working, you can check out the AdPlugg Blog or the AdPlugg Demo sites (hint: if either of those sites don’t show ads, it may be that you have an ad blocker enabled, you’ll need to disable the ad blocker in order to get AdPlugg to work).
Please reply here or use our Contact form with any other questions, findings, etc.
Best,
Collin Krawll
