General Questions

What is Quarto?

Quarto is a versatile, open-source scientific and technical publishing system. Documents can be authored that contain prose alongside of dynamic content generated by running Python, R, Julia, and Observable code.

How can I integrate Google Adsense into my Quarto-generated website?

To integrate Google Adsense into your Quarto-generated website, you can utilize the adsense configuration option in the YAML header of your Quarto pages or project configuration. In particular, please set the publisher-id key to your Google Publisher ID.

Adsense Configuration

Where do I find my Google Adsense publisher ID?

Your Google Adsense publisher ID is available in your Adsense account. Log in to your Adsense account, navigate to the “Settings” page, and you will find your publisher ID there.

For more details, please see Google’s Find your Publisher ID documentation.

How do I add Google Adsense to a specific page using Quarto?

In the YAML header of the specific page where you want to add Google Adsense, include the following configuration:

adsense:
  publisher-id: YOUR_PUBLISHER_ID

filters:
  - adsense

Replace YOUR_PUBLISHER_ID with your actual Google Adsense publisher ID. This should look similar to ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX representing your unique ID.

Can I prevent the placement of Adsense ads on certain webpages within my Quarto-generated website?

Yes, you can customize the placement of Adsense ads within your Quarto-generated website by setting the enable-ads option in the Quarto document’s YAML header.

For example, ads can be suppressed on a given by setting:

adsense:
  enable-ads: false

Troubleshooting

The ads are not appearing on my Quarto-generated website. What could be the issue?

If ads are not appearing, first ensure that your Adsense account is active and in good standing. Additionally, check the configuration in the YAML header of the specific page to confirm that the enable-ads or filters options are set appropriately. Ads may also take some time (up to an hour) to appear on the page for the first time it is opened.

Are there any specific requirements for the Quarto version to support Google Adsense integration?

Ensure that you are using a Quarto version that supports the adsense Extension. This is usually checked when the extension is first installed.
