Hi,
This is really driving me crazy...Have spent many days to figure out the resolution..
I have created an addunit, placement, order and lineItem and uploaded a simple Image Creative and then generated Tags million times, but not able to display adds on my web page.I do not yet have AdSense account.I don't think this could cause any problem. On looking up the delivery diagnostics it gives me "Unmatched targeting or unknown".. Please guide me where am I going wrong.
The generated Tags are:

<script type='text/javascript'>
var googletag = googletag || {};
googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || [];
(function () {
var gads = document.createElement('script');
gads.async = true;
gads.type = 'text/javascript';
var useSSL = 'https:' == document.location.protocol;
gads.src = (useSSL ? 'https:' : 'http:') +
'//www.googletagservices.com/tag/js/gpt.js';
var node = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
node.parentNode.insertBefore(gads, node);
})();
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
googletag.cmd.push(function () {
googletag.defineSlot('/30044221/RM_AdUnit', [300, 250], 'div-gpt-ad-1389240878540-0').addService(googletag.pubads());
googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();
googletag.enableServices();
});
</script>

<body>
<!-- RM_AdUnit -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1389240878540-0' style='width:300px; height:250px;'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1389240878540-0'); });
</script>
</div>
</body>

Still not able to render adverts on my page.
Its highly urgent please guide me.

Thanks in advance,
Reena

You need an Adsense account to display Adsense adverts.

Hi,

Can I not just create a simple order without the Adsense account on DFP and generate tags and display the advert on my webpage? Can you guide me how ?

Thanks
Reena

I do not use DFP, so I cannot help you on that. But if you want to show Adsense, then you will need an Adsense account.

Another thing you need is a domain - and it has to have unique content etc etc.

If I were you, I'd start building a website. Then gain visitors. Then apply for Adsense.

You don't need an Adsense account to display your own ads via DFP. Make sure that the order you've created targets (in Line item settings > add targeting > inventory) your ad unit.

True, but he posted this in the Adsense forum. Also, he doesn't have a domain yet. So, no matter what advertising company he chooses, he'll still need a site first.

DFP ad serving works without a domain. You should be able to see your own ads on your local computer - obviously for development purposes.

But he doesn't have an Adsense account. And Google will not allow you to show adsense adverts if you do not have an account or website.

This is the Adsense forum, yes?

We don't have a DFP forum, LW, and it's an AdSense related product, so I can see why it was posted here. I think everyone's clear now.

Excluding Adsense, (as we already know that you need a website first) what other advertising companies will let you join them without a website?
None that I know of, so if you would like to enlighten me to what companies that do, I am all ears.
