Maximum Total Google Ads Per Page - adsense

I'm looking at my options for putting adverts on my website and thought I'd start with Google Adsense - However I'm unsure of exactly how many adverts you can actually have per page. I'm guessing it's OK to mix and match banners with say advert blocks, etc, etc - So what is the maximum total number you can have on a single page?

Google Adsense Ads Per Page Limit has been lifted according to recent policy change. Google makes the publishers happy with this recent change. Now publishers can place more than 3 ads, which will eventually result into more income.

According to the Ad Placement policies, a maximum of three standard ad units, three link units, and two search boxes may be placed on one webpage
Please keep in mind that a maximum of three standard ad units, three
link units, and two search boxes may be placed on one webpage. In
addition, please be aware that every publisher is responsible for the
content of a website on which their ad code is placed. If a website is
found in violation of our program policies, we will notify any
publisher(s) whose ad code is on the website, and ask you to remove
the Google code from that page.
They further clarify in this question
Currently, AdSense publishers may place up to three AdSense for
content units on one webpage. This includes a maximum of one 300x600
ad unit per page. You may also place a maximum of three link units and
two search boxes on each webpage.

Google removed the limit of three ads per page in August 2016.

I think Google has lifted the maximum of 3 content units per page.
Now they just say that ads should not be more than content. And you won't find the max units rule anywhere in the documentation.
You can read here in valuable inventory.

Google has lifted the limit of 3 ads recently. They don't specify the max limit, but they do say that the number should not exceed your content. Here is the official link: Number of AdSense Ads

Three standard ad units mean that you can use 3 main standard and suggested by google: 1 728x90, 1 336x280 or 1 300x250 and 1 160x600.
Three link units mean that you can get it by create link units in your adsense dashboard.
Search box you know adready.

According to Adsense Tos,
You can add upto 3 standard ads /per page (Maximum of 1 300*600 ads size followed by other ads size accept 970x90 ) in addition with 3 link ads unit for adsense Content . These are the Maximum AdSence Ads Per Page for Adsense content.

You can have 3 standard size ads on your page. And I don't recommend you to add any more (not even link ads). In place of that why not adding infolinks, viglink and others?

Facebook Graph API - does not return all values for page_fans_country?

I am trying to built an small Facebook analytics solution that allows the benchmarking and analysis of Facebook pages by fancount/likes.
Unfortunately some bigger pages are setup as global pages, e.g.:
https://www.facebook.com/CocaCola
In this case the Likes show the aggregate sum across all countries (106,831,744)
I would like to know the number of likes by market/region (e.g. US, Germany)
Based on tips across the web and from this forum I have used the following query for page_fans_country:
https://graph.facebook.com/cocacola/insights/page_fans_country?access_token=[my access token]
(as a variation also this: /cocacola/insights?metric=page_fans_country)
However this returns a list that does not seem complete:
It only features 45 markets (also the maximum when I run the query for other brands)
It does not contain bigger markets such as US or Germany (DE)
The numbers don't add up to the likes shown on the page (5.874.635 vs.
106.831.744)
Even the professional analytics tool Socialbakers returns the same "smaller" number. https://www.socialbakers.com/statistics/facebook/pages/detail/40796308305-coca-cola
Am i looking at the wrong metric here?
Or has Facebook restricted access to the (full) page_fans_country breakdown if you don't have page insights access?
Thanks.

Adsense- What is Pageviews?

If I have 50 pages in my site and 5000 users came and visited all the pages..Is that considered 250,000 pageviews?
What is a pageview to be exact?..And do I need to put an ad on every page?
Thanks!
Check your analytics report which will show exact page views in a day. If all visitors read all pages then definitely it will be 50x5000; but I would recommend to add Ad units on those pages which has less bounce rate and higher visit time. Also, keep in mind content length. If content length is more than 600 words then you can use all three ad units otherwise use less number of units.

which step is for Google DFP impression

I wonder which code makes DFP counting.
There are couple steps.
googletag.defineSlot().addService(googletag.pubads());
Googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(); });
If I don't call googletag.display method at step4, I guess impression doesn't increase. Is it correct?
ps.The reason I ask this question is I don't have permission to access 1,2,3 codes.But I need to hide Ads.
Thank you.
DFP counts an impression once an ad is selected on the server and returned to the client.
Since you are using SingleRequest(), the impression is already counted before the creative gets rendered to the DOM.
This said, the impression in your scenario is counted at step 3.
It can cause many issues, because the SingleRequest() doesn't care if the push function is defined on your page or not. Therefore it could happen that 5 impressions are counted, while only 2 ads are served on the page.
If you decide to not use SingleRequest(), DFP will count one impression with every single push function. (Step 4)
There is the view-macro, which you implement in the creative itself. In this case an impression is triggered once 20% of the creative is actively seen by the user for at least one second, or when the first frame of a video-creative is shown.

Facebook Pixel Stats GET / Reading

I have a Facebook Pixel on my website that is tracking events. I saw on the Ads Manager dashboard, that the pixel logs my events in a categorized way, i.e.:
PageView, ViewContent, InitiateCheckout, etc.
Although when logging stats, I include some extra parameters like the product_id maybe or other things, that way when the PageView is being logged, at least I will know which product_id it refers to.
The problem is that the Facebook Ads Dashboard doesn't show any of the extra parameters, it only displays the Count field.
After doing some research, I found this link on Facebook Pixel Stats, where they claim:
Use the Facebook Pixel Stats edge to get pixel statistics.
I tried using the Graph API Explorer, and even the iOS FB SDK for it (API Here) they both return an empty data array:
{
"data": [
]
}
I tried multiple parameter combinations, fields, and everything else to no avail.
If anyone knows whether I'm looking at the wrong place, or what not, all I'm interested in is reading those "extra" parameters that I'm appending to every FB Pixel event I log. Thank you!
You need specifing the parameters for it.
Example:
{fb_pixel_id}/stats?aggregation=url
The answer is displayed for a specific period of time in the past - I would say 24 hours.
You can use paging at the bottom of the json response for going back in time: use the link provided in the content of the field 'previous', and you can step back day by day.

Prevent smaller ad creative from showing in larger ad slot

I'm having a 300x250 size creative show in a 300x600 ad slot.
The header call defines only one size, 300x600 like so:
googletag.defineSlot('/1030735/website_300x600', [300, 600], 'website_300x600').addService(googletag.pubads());
And the ad unit itself in dfp is setup with only one size, 300x600.
However, I get some network ads come in through the ad unit that are 300x250, and it's happening more often than the correct 300x600 size.
How can I force it to show only a 300x600 size ad on the unit?
I thought that having only one ad unit size is the way to do it?
This is happening probably because the third-party adNetwork who serves to you the banners that you have places in your creative of 300x600 is returning sometimes 300x600 banners and sometimes 300x250. Since you have configured your creative as a 300x600 creative, DFP it's not smart enough to detect it.
If this is the scenario, you have to options:
To contact to your third party adServer to limit the campaigns to the size you need: 300x600.
To add to the line item and the implied creatives the size of 300x250, this way DFP should be able to detect when it's one size or the other.
