Hi everyone, welcome to K2 blogging and in this video I will show you how you can setup
0:04
placeholder in your Ezoic. So as you can see that Ezoic plays a lot of automatic ads and as you can see that there
0:11
is a lot of AI placeholder generated by Ezoic itself. And here I am using the Ezoic plugin to generate the placeholders in my website
0:20
But there is some issues with this. So as you can see that when I scroll down here, it is showing ads in between the list
0:27
content or sometimes it shows ads in between the table of content
0:32
But it is not good for the user experience because it will break the website layout
0:37
So let me open a category page from here. So let me go to the WordPress category here
0:42
And sometimes it shows ads on the odd position. See I don't want to show an ad here in this position
0:50
Then I can easily block this ad from the Ezoic plugin or using the Ezoic Chrome extension
0:58
So we are going to see how you can do that. So first of all you need to install the Ezoic Chrome extension
1:03
So you can simply search on Google and install it in your computer
1:07
And then you need to open your website and here in the Ezoic Chrome extension you need
1:14
to click on this option preview AI placeholders. As you can see that the placeholder is now shown and let me wait for it
1:25
As you can see that AI placeholder is shown here. So I can easily turn this off like don't show this on entire domain
1:33
So it will not show in this position in entire domain or you can disable it from this page only
1:40
So it will not show in this position in this page. So I don't want to show this on entire domain
1:47
So I will click on OK and it will remove from this position from my entire domain
1:52
So in this way you can remove ad from unnecessary place. So as you can see that AI placeholder under second paragraph
2:01
So don't show in this directory or don't show in entire domain
2:06
So I will select this option because I don't want to enable this option in the category page
2:12
That's why I will select don't show in this directory and I will click on OK
2:17
So it will remove that placeholder from this position. So this is how easy it is to remove this and you can see that again it shows the AI placeholder
2:28
So let's remove it and let's click on OK. Alright the placeholder will be now removed from this page
2:37
So it is still showing AI placeholder. So we need to disable it from the Ezoic dashboard
2:43
So for this I will go to the dashboard here. Go to the Ezoic leaf here and go to the placeholders and I will click on add type and here you
2:53
will see this option auto insert ads and let's disable these two options
3:00
So the AI placeholder will be removed from our website and all the placeholders will
3:05
be generated by the Ezoic plugin in WordPress. So let's go to the website and let me refresh this page again and you can see that we have
3:18
removed those placeholders on this page. Now let me open a different page from here and let me click on the Ezoic extension here
3:29
and let's click on activate placeholder and as you can see that placeholder is now activated
3:38
So sometimes it shows in the list elements and sometimes it shows in odd position
3:43
So we need to select those elements that are showing in odd position and you can simply
3:49
remove this by clicking on here and you can simply delete this placeholder or you can
3:54
hide this placeholder from this particular page only. So it will show a exclusion rule for this page
4:01
So let's scroll down here and if you don't want to show it within your list element then
4:07
you can easily go to your Ezoic plugin here and here I will click on add setting here
4:13
and as you can see that Ezoic created a lot of placeholders here like this
4:18
So all of the placeholders are created automatically by the Ezoic plugin and as you can see that
4:23
I have disabled a lot of placeholders now. So by default it's activated all the placeholder on your website
4:30
So you can simply select this and you can disable this like this one is activated
4:35
So if you want to disable it then you can simply click on disable and hit the update button
4:40
So it will disable that placeholder. So make sure to test this in couple of days and then it will show the revenue percentage
4:48
So as you can see that this position doesn't giving me that much revenue then I can simply
4:54
click on here and I can simply disable it and hit update
4:58
So this placeholder will be removed from our website. Now if you want to exclude certain HTML tag or if you want to exclude the table of content
5:07
like that so you can easily do that by clicking on the setting gear here
5:12
And here there is this option to filter it out. So here we need to exclude or add some filters so that it will not show the ads in odd position
5:23
So the first filter we will use the list element because it will not show any ads within the
5:29
list element or within the table of content. So we need to add li here and hit create
5:35
And you can also do the same and you can also add your own class like you can just go to
5:41
your website and right click on the table of content here. So let me hit the inspect button here and I will select the table of content and I will
5:51
copy the table of content class here. So I will copy it and I will go to the ejoic here in this class I will paste that class
5:59
and I will click on create. So it will exclude those classes and it will not count this as a placeholder place like
6:07
here when you set this placeholders it will count the number of paragraphs like it will
6:11
show after second paragraph or fourth paragraph or sixth paragraph. But it will not count the paragraphs within the list element or it will not count the
6:20
paragraph within the table of content block. So you can easily exclude those paragraphs from your placeholders
6:27
And you can also set a rule here this is very important. So you can set a word count
6:32
So let me put 10. So whenever a sentence is less than 10 word then it will not count that as a paragraph
6:41
So let me just show you. So if you simply check that there is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
6:51
There is 8 word in this sentence. So it will not count this sentence as a paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 and it will exclude those paragraphs
6:59
So in this way you can exclude those positions from add in ejoic
7:04
So this is a good option to exclude paragraph and if you do these two settings one is adding
7:11
the list element here in the insertion filter and adding a number of word it will fix all
7:17
of your issues in ejoic and it will not show the ads in odd position
7:23
And here you can also exclude your URLs like you don't want to show ads on your about
7:28
us page or contact us page then you can simply enter the URL here and exclude those pages
7:34
from here. And just click on save after making the changes and all the exclusion will be added here and
7:42
from now on there will be no ads shown within the list element or within the table of content
7:48
block like that. And you can also manually visit some of the pages of your website and exclude it using
7:54
the ejoic chrome extension. So let me open this web page here
7:59
So if you logged in then no ads will be shown to you
8:02
So make sure to log out first. And then let's activate the placeholder
8:09
And let's scroll down here. As you can see that there is this placeholder showing here like this
8:16
As you can see that it will not show within the list element from now on
8:21
And it will only count those paragraphs that have more than 10 words
8:26
So let me scroll off here. And as you can see that WP under second paragraph
8:33
That's because these two paragraphs has more than 10 words that's why it is showing this
8:37
placeholder after the second paragraph. It is counting this as a first paragraph and this is a second paragraph
8:45
So in the same way if there is a less than 10 word sentence then it will not count it
8:49
as a paragraph. So in this way you can fix all of your issues in ejoic
8:56
And if you don't want to show ads on a certain position. So let me scroll down to the bottom of the page
9:03
So sometimes it shows ads within the related post section. And you can also copy the class of the related post and add it in the exclusion that we have
9:12
discussed before in the ejoic plugin. And here you can also individually control the pages like whether you want to show a
9:21
placeholder in post pages or category pages. So as you can see that I will not show the ads in the category pages after the first paragraph
9:30
Because if you check the category pages and if you show ads after the first paragraph
9:35
then it will break the layout. Whereas in category pages paragraphs are under a certain layout and if you show an ad then
9:43
it will automatically break your layout. So that's why you need to disable those placeholders that are breaking your layout in website
9:51
So just click on the add placeholder and simply select it to disable and hit the update button
9:57
and it will be disabled from that pages. And you can also click on the show all button to show all of your placeholders in this ejoic plugin
10:07
So that's it for this placeholder video and if you have any doubt regarding this placeholder
10:12
