Do you want to display ads in specific posts in WordPress? This post will guide you to display ads within your posts when the user is highly engaged in reading your articles. You do not require to write any codes or break your website for placing ads in specific posts.

Placing relevant ads as per the content of your article can fetch you more clicks and hence more revenue from your website. Here we will guide you to place different ads on different articles on your WordPress website.

Why Display Ads in Specific WordPress Posts?

While there are many ways to make money from your blog. But placing banner ads on your website tops the list. Usually, people place banner ads at a specific location on the website like on the header, footer, and on sidebars. The most website uses the same locations to place their banner ads, which leads to banner blindness and does not attract them to the banner ads and hence affecting your overall website revenue.

To deal with this issue, many publishers insert ads within the post content. It works because this is the point when your users are most engaged with the content. This increases ad visibility and helps you get more clicks and increase your website revenue.

However, the user experience is the most important part of the website. A website with unique content and a good user experience will get users back to the website. Placing lots of ads on the web page can be annoying for the users.

To reduce the adverse effects, you can selectively display ad blocks in specific WordPress posts on your site. These posts can be your most popular posts, long-form articles, or featured content.

Having said that, let’s see how to easily display ads in specific WordPress posts.
