Jon,
I know you are getting a lot of repetition on this question, but I’m onboard with WordAds. I’m a value bundle user with a theme that is applicable. Ads aren’t displaying, however. Anything you can do to help me?

I’ve removed the No Ads upgrade and have had WordAds activated for a week, but I’ve yet to see any ads on my blog:

Any chance one of the staff could inform me on my Wordads status? Do I need a different theme for them to work? Do I need to disable no-ad upgrade? Please advise. Here’s my website. Thanks! Michele

I seem to be having the same issue with no ads appearing and currently have that bundle pack mentioned. Can you please work your magic and override? groundtoground.org

djmichelemyers Did you apply for WordAds at WordAds.co/apply? We have a window before we activate. WordAds is not on your site at this point.

Thanks much for responding Jon. Yes I applied there almost two weeks ago and when I applied the page said they’d respond within 2 days.

Now that same application message says they are getting a high volume of applications and it will take a little while. So perhaps I am still in the window. Any idea how long it will take?

Is there anything I can do to make my site ready? Do I need to pick a different theme? Thanks again!

Thanks. You don’t need to pick a new theme at this time. Thanks for your patience. Feel free to get in touch with me directly at support@wordpress.com.

Hello again, yes I’m annoying!

I’ve just changed my theme to SunSpot and on my home page kind of thing my Ad comes up and seems to disrupt the flow of the page, is there anyway to move the ad away from there?

Thanks,

Not at all. Yes I see the issue. We see this with four column layouts like this. The issue is that the industry standard ad size is 300×250 and these columns aren’t wide enough to fit a 300 pixel size across ad.

We have asked our advertisers to develop ‘elastic ads’ that would notice how wide your theme’s placement is and grow or shrink to fit. It’s not a common practice so it’s take a while to get this done.

So I’d say your options are to live with this and hopefully we can get advertisers to change soon or try yet another one. Jon

Thanks for the help Jon. I’m getting ads now that say Adchoices on the bottom right. Is there any difference between those and WordAds?
jonburke · Staff · Jul 19, 2012 at 3:14 pm

shanegenziuk it depends on which country you are looking at your site from. I see click to play video ads in the US. Feel free to write me at support@wordpress.com.
