DFP Ad Manager Plugin

Simpler management of DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers) ad positions

For simple management of DoubleClick for Publishers ad positions.

This plugin is designed to simplify the process of working with DoubleClick for Publishers. Rather than inundate the user with too many options and settings, instead everything is managed within DoubleClick, utilizing WordPress to display the positions.

Page, category, and tag targeting is built-in, with the option to extend on the DoubleClick Javascript library and add even more targeting and send data from the WordPress backend to DoubleClick.

Follow development of the plugin on Github.com/ThatGerber/dfp-ads
