Just drag a widget to the sidebar, upload, an ad, and save. Watch a short video demo: [https://youtu.be/E9CC3ZWOaLU](https://youtu.be/E9CC3ZWOaLU) Note: If you have an adblocker installed, it will prevent this widget (and parts of WordPress) from working properly. * Extremely intuitive for beginners * No clunky ad management interface * Easily place image banner ads * Easily place Google ad tags and other ad code If you like Ad Widget and you’re selling ads, you might like our new [ad formats for publishers and salespeople . You will not find an easier way to run ads on your website! ### Demo Watch a short video demo: [https://youtu.be/E9CC3ZWOaLU](https://youtu.be/E9CC3ZWOaLU) ### Troubleshooting The Ad Widget is a very simple plugin. If you are having trouble loading ads on your site, please make sure that: * You do not have an ad blocker installed (you would be amazed how often this happens). Disable it and refresh the page a few times to see if the ad appears. * You don’t have CSS in your theme which is hiding images (rare, but it happens) If you have any other trouble, email kenny@broadstreetads.com – try to avoid the WordPress support forums because they’re awful. ## Installation First: Turn off any ad blockers you might have installed. They prevent ads from appearing! Other than that, there aren’t any special instructions for installing this plug- in. Once installed, go to Appearance -> Widgets, and look for the “Ad Widget” widgets! You can also go to Settings -> Ad Widget for a video demo on how to use it. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/34864c423e9fdee1df4754d5a7cbe578df47e8e171d9093a1d383e3664f2f8ee? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple to use and Dependable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-to-use-and-dependable/)󠁿 [tiffanyreedy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tiffanyreedy/) Ebrel 25, 2017 I have been using Broadstreet’s plugin for almost 3 months now and enjoy it tremendously. It is simple to use and very dependable. I couldn’t think of using anything else. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c66c984f4ca9d0f6c347685e7ff415d14a7c679e2c29f4f2551f9da70abdd944? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Doesn't work with Google Adsense](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-google-adsense/)󠁿 [Jessica Holbrook](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jershaanddup/) Gwengolo 3, 2016 1 reply This simply does not work. I am using the newest version of Wordpress and tried everything I could think of and it doesn’t work. I was checking my website for ads in incognito so there would be no ad-blocker affecting my results. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/350959101a909a6605b755ca78bfafeda748a99cafd66d814e2ef0f7778c80a7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-3426/)󠁿 [bobwordpress](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bobwordpress/) Gwengolo 3, 2016 Nice! plugin..
