Can you use DFP Small Business without Adsense?

    Hi,

    Just found out about DFP Small Business and it looks quite interesting for managing ads across our network of sites. However, we'd like to use it in conjunction with ads we have signed up ourselves directly, rather than Adsense. Is it possible to use it without having Adsense included? If not, is there any way to tweak it so that the Adsense ads won't show?

    If there's absolutely no way to use it without Adsense ads, does the DFP Enterprise version let you do this (and how much does it cost to use that)?

    Many thanks

    I was using it without AdSense for one of my sites and there was no problem setting it up, so it is possible. Of course, my revenue shot up once I stopped using DFP, so I'm not an expert. If you are using several ad networks, be extra careful how you set it up. It isn't the most user-friendly system.

    No, you can say that again! Still trying to get a test ad to show. If you don't mind me asking, what did you move to using?

    For right now at least, I'm just putting the code directly in the page and letting the networks pass back to one another.

    Ok, thanks. I finally got my test ad to show via DFP. Scheduled query reports to named email contacts don't seem to be sending the emails, so more head scratching needed. Maybe there's a delay before they start working, or is this a known issue?
