I made this video to walk through how I use Ad Inserter, one of the best plugins for placing ads on WordPress posts — whether you’re running AdSense, affiliate links, or your own offers.

Ad Inserter gives you complete control over where ads appear — and works great with shortcode-based platforms like Lasso or AAWP.

In the tutorial, I walk through:

  1. Installing and activating the plugin
  2. Creating insertion blocks with HTML, JavaScript, or shortcode
  3. Choosing placement (before post, after X paragraphs, between content, etc.)
  4. Using conditional logic to target specific categories or post types
  5. Testing mobile vs desktop visibility

I use this to insert both affiliate offers and internal CTAs, keeping everything dynamic without cluttering my theme files.

Do you have a system in place for ad placement, or still adding things manually?
