    Stiofan, I liked your implementation of hiding or showing ads via CSS, depending on the package ID. I can see how that concept would be generally handy. I was just wondering if Google would count ad “displays” if the ad code is sent to the browser, even if the ads aren’t visible. If Google counted such ads, it would drop my click-through-rate in the ad stats. So I decided to go the route of not even delivering ad code to listings where ads shouldn’t show. This was a great exercise for me. I learnt from it.

    I left you a review a few moments ago 🙂

    Thanks for your great review John! I really appreciate it 🙂

    It is my understanding that google ads won’t fire if the container is not visible, this is done so you can hide some ads in responsive layouts with no punishments so to speak. It’s six and half a dozen, i would have done it your way myself 🙂
