Advanced Ads

<a href="https://wpadvancedads.com/add-ons/genesis-ads/" rel="nofollow ugc">Genesis Ads</a> enables you to easily display any kind of advertisement – including Google AdSense and Amazon – in various positions in your Genesis based theme.
In order to use Ads for Genesis, you also need
<ul>
<li>a theme based on the Genesis Framework built by StudioPress,</li>
<li>the free ad management plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/" rel="ugc">Advanced Ads</a>.</li>
</ul>
This combination with Advanced Ads allows you to inject adverts like Google AdSense, Amazon, images banners, etc. managed by Advanced Ads into the predefined positions (called “action hooks“ many Genesis based themes have included in the frontend) and to make use from features like ad rotation. 
Please be aware that your theme author might have left some of them out. Also, the styling of the content added by these hooks depends on your theme. Please contact your theme developer about styling issues.
<h4>Positions for ads</h4>
There are currently 51 positions you can target with Genesis Ads. Among them are:
<ul>
<li>a couple of positions around and within the header – the part where the site’s title and description and maybe also a navigation and a search form are located</li>
<li>around the main content and sidebar wrappers</li>
<li>before, within and after the main and the alternative sidebar</li>
<li>around the loop – the part where the posts and pages gets loaded, but not within the actual content itself</li>
<li>plenty of positions around the content. You can even specify positions around the content title here</li>
<li>around the comments, pings (websites that link to your post) and the comment form</li>
<li>before, within and after your site’s footer</li>
</ul>
Keep in mind that content positions might be repeated on overview pages like home or category pages and the ad might be injected multiple times per page.
<h4>Usage</h4>
Make sure that you have your Genesis-based theme and the basic version of Advanced Ads activated.
Go to your dashboard and navigate to Advanced Ads > Placements.
When creating a new placement, select the one with the G in the symbol.
After saving the new placement you find it with additional options in the placement list. Here you can specify or change the ad and select the position (see below) from the list.
There are currently 51 placements in 7 logical groups. You can find extended information on them in the <a href="https://my.studiopress.com/docs/hook-reference" rel="nofollow ugc">Genesis Hook Reference</a> (Genesis login needed).
The positions are mostly self-explanatory. When you check the reference against the positions in the Genesis placement then you should keep in mind that I removed the genesis_ prefix.

Ads for Genesis

Somehow my ad injection plugin was not working. I installed this plugin and it worked to inject ad inside content.  

It works!

Ads for Genesis allows you to display any kind of ads without coding in your Genesis theme.

Corner Ad is a minimally invasive advertising display that uses any of your webpage’s top corners – a position typically under-utilized by developers – and attracts users’ attention by a cool visual effect imitating a page flip. Corner Ad initially displays a partial ad, which attracts attention; when user hover the mouse over it, the ad opens to its full size while imitating a page-flip effect; once the mouse is moved away, the ad returns to its initial size.
Corner Ad can also be used for announcements, newsflashes, and basically for anything else that you consider important and want your website visitors to see. It is common nowadays that visitors quickly scan the contents of a page and often fail to notice messages that you would like them to see; Corner Ad attempts to resolve this issue.

Inserting the Ad
To inset the ad into a post or page open the post/page for editing and use the “Corner Ad” icon that is located above the editor.
A floating panel will appear allowing the selection of the corner ad to be inserted into the post/page. Once selected a shortcode with the ad’s ID will be inserted into the content., for example: <code>[corner-ad id="3"]</code> (the 3 is the ID of the ad in this sample).
To insert an ad directly into the website theme to display it across all the pages or into specific sections, edit the template and insert the following code fragment:
<pre><code><?php echo do_shortcode('[corner-ad id="3"]'); ?>
</code></pre>
To identify the ID that belongs to each ad, go to the page in the settings area where the ads are created. On that list each ad has its shortcode with its ID.
