Sometimes I see the same ad

Thank you for using Advanced Ads. Do I understand and you are using one placement that delivers the ads from one ad group? How are you including the placement into your site?
What exactly is your goal here?

<?php if(function_exists('the_ad_placement')) the_ad_placement('middle-column'); ?>

This is the code I’m using, it got the ad from one group that is teh container of all the local categories.
My goal is avoid to load two or more identical ads.

If you are using this code multiple times and so the same placement with the same group of ads is displayed it really might happen that the same ad shows up multiple times.

I normally don’t use the same ad code on different positions if I can, so I didn’t include such a check into the plugin.

If more users need this I might add such a check into a future version.

Thanks for your answer, I hoped it wasn’t like I thought.
I have 11 ad positions in my page (5 or 6 placements) and this means that I have to create actually 11 positions? No problem for me but the final user will find this very annoying.

So … we have more ads in a group, a group or more for each position in the layout, one placement for each group??

Another question: I didn’t test it till now with google ads cause I’m not on final server, do it work with them?

Sorry again but I read in your site:
“Ad rotation based on customizable ad weight enabling split tests and multiple advertisers per ad space.”

What I’m seeking is just the rotation inside a placement or group, how I can do that?

If you are just seaking ad rotation, you put all the ads that should rotate on one spot into the same ad group and display this ad group with a single placement. Based on the individual ad display conditions and the ad weight within the group, only one ad will be displayed per placement then.

Yes, Advanced Ads works perfectly with Google AdSense ad tags.

Ok, thanks.
