Was surfing the net about a week ago when i came across Google DFP ( Double Click For Publishers )
Lot of Adsense Publishers might find this very helpful.
Have you ever had a problem of Advert space on your site?
Sometimes Adsense just takes the entire Adslot in your site leaving no room for Private adverts
All thanks to DFP (Double Click for Publisher) you can now rotate Google Ads with other Ad networks ( Media.net) or
Private adverts.
Lets Get Started
IntroductionFirstly you have to create a DFP account visit and sign up at
http://google.com/dfpAfter Signup you can now login to your user interface
You would see 4 different tabs
Order: Where you manage your Campaigns
Inventory: Where you manage you inventory and generate your tags
Reports: Where you review your Campaign performance.
Admin: Where you can administrate users and advanced options.
Step2How to setup Ad units so you can serve ads via DFPOk now that we know what each option is let us set up your Ad Unit.
Go to the Inventory Tab,
select Ad Units on the left and then click on ‘+ New Ad Unit“.
Select Web
Name:Input a name for the Adunit
It is recommended you use a very descriptive name something like Yoursite_Forum_AD
Description:This is very optional, not compulsory
Size:Now select the sizes of your ads, you can get the sizes for your Adunit in your Adsense dashboard.
Target Window:If you want the Ads when clicked to open a new window select _blank, for same window select _top
Ok let’s continue.
PlacementBelow the Target Window option you find the placement option.
If you already have placements and want your Ad Unit to be part of one or more placements you can select them now.
But don’t worry, you can always add them later too.
Finally
save
Now you would need to generate Tags and place on your website.
In the Inventory tab click
Generate tags on the left
Choose the Adunit you wanna generate tag for by clicking include next to the Adunit
Then click on Generate Tags
There are two parts of code you need to implement. The first JavaScript part (2) goes into your websites
header and contains all the Ad Units and your Publisher ID for that page.
The second part (3) are the actual Ad Units which you place into the spots of your
Ad Units (below <body> tag in your source code). Because of your descriptive naming for your Ad Units you know where
to put each Ad Units into your HTML Body.
Next StepCreating an order.

Click on Inventory then include the Adunit created earlier
Then save and Upload creatives
Upload the Ad Creative:Next you have to upload the ad creative that will display on your web pages.
You can either upload images, Flash videos or even snippets of HTML and JavaScript in case you’re going with text ads.
To add Adsense code click on Third party and Input your adsense ads code
Save and add more creatives
The more creatives you add the more they get rotated in a single position (slot)
If you did not Approve (see above) your newly created Order you have to do so now or your creatives wont be served
