These tools of the plugin will help you to safely migrate data from the Simple Ads Manager plugin and clear statistical data table.
Migrate Data
If you use the plugin Simple Ads Manager, you can migrate all the data from this plugin into the SAM Pro Free plugin.
The data structure of plugin Simple Ads Manager is different from the data structure of plugin SAM Pro Free, thus you need to use this tool for safe migration of data.
Migrate Options – force migration of the plugin settings.
Migrate Data – force migration of the plugin main data (exclude statistics).
Migrate Statistical Data – force migration of the plugin statistical data.
Clear target tables before migrating data – It is highly recommended make migration of data into an empty tables of the plugin. Some part of source data can be lost during transfer process if target tables are not empty.
Select options you need and click “Migrate Data” button.
Clear Statistical Data
Reset Statistics – Clearing statistics outside the keeping period. Use this button in case of problems with the automatic cleaning of the statistics table. The data within the keeping period specified by the plugin parameters will not be affected by this action.
Remove Statistics – Complete removal of all statistical data from the statistics table.

Dear SAM
If I switch from SAM to SAM Pro Free do I have to deactivate the SAM Plugin before installing the new one or should I install the new SAM first without deactivating the old one go to tools of the new one starting the migration process according to //uncle-sam.info/sam-pro-free/sam-pro-free-docs/tools-2/ and deactivate and delete the old one afterwards. I don’t like to loose my ads and all the settings in the changing process. I haven’t found a step by step instruction to make sure that I don’t loose my ads. I would appreciate your instructions.
What settings shall I take to minimize the CPU resources of my server using adsense ads mainly?
Thanks for your answer!

Thank you!
It seems to work. But, My ads in the sidebar disappeared. Is there a chance to avoid this?Thanks for your answer.
Simple Ads Manager and SAM Pro use different widgets. You should place new widgets into the sidebar manually…
Hi SAM,
I use SAM Pro Free on my sites. Your plugin delivers the possibility to embed an ad on WPtouch (Settings > Embedding > last option > Ad Object in the WPtouch header), but only on one of my WP sites (same theme, same php version, same plugins). How can I put it on / of?
Best regards
You should enable wptouch compatibility on Settings Page (Settings->General Tab -> General Settings Section).
I’m using what I think is Sam Pro Lite and I know I am getting clicks and hits, but I am not seeing anything come up with my actual clicks on the stats tab.
Any thoughts?
1. Have you set the parameter “Allow to collect and to store statistical data”?
2. You look the statistics in the “All” or “For Sale” mode?
When I create the 3×4 block the ads appear only in a column, how do you fix it?
You must have enough space (width) to place the block, otherwise, advertisements are placed in column (a narrow sidebar, mobile devices). Try to play with styles…
Hi,
We are currently upgrading to the new version from Simple Ads Manager.
I was using these template tags –
<?php if(function_exists('drawAdsPlace')) drawAdsPlace(array('id' => 1), true); ?>However when I disable the old plugin the ads disappear. Can you confirm how the new template tags should be coded please?
Many thanks
