INSERT PLACEHOLDERS:
- Select Insert Placeholders button and you will be routed to WordPress.
- Under Appearance select Widgets.
- To insert placeholders, select the + sign on the template and type in Ad Sales Genius Ad Server in the search bar.
- Select which ad sizes you want to allow in the specific location.
- Next you will select the Ad Units. The Ads Unit list does auto-populate from ASG. If your list is empty there is a connectivity issue.
- Ad Units can be a timeline based product, CPM or a general run of site product. There is a priority based system for what is shown first. That order is:
-
- Timeline based products run first.
- CPM products run second. Based upon the contract settings, these products have the ability to run as fast as possible or run evenly.
- Alternative Ad Code run third. Drop in Google AdSense or other ad server code to run when there are no codes to run from ASG.
- Now, in the top right hand corner select Update and you are set!
All the ads are 100% ad proofer ad blocker proof.
BOOKING:
- Edit your contract and add your website product.
- Add your Unit/Size.
- Select your Data Range.
Then select your Website Categories. WordPress will be categorising different pages and/or different posts. You can dictate how those show by using website categories section. Leave blank if you do not want to target any categories. Selected categories will take priority over unselected categories.
- If Category 1 is selected, Category 1 and all subcategories below it will show (even when sub categories are not selected).
- Furthermore, when category 1 is NOT selected but a subcategory is selected, the selected subcategory and all the subcategory unselected beneath will show.
- Lastly, add your item to your contract.
Please note: Be sure a URL is attached to the ad itself. Go to the Ad Library>find your ad>edit>
