Step 3: Creating the ad zone code

Whichever format you choose, once you have filled in the details, click Create.

You will then see the code that you will use on your site. Code should be placed into the 'body' tag.

Once the code is implemented the traffic should start within a few minutes.

czone6

 


Note: It is recommended that you implement the ad zone code as provided by the system. Modifying the ad zone code can affect the functionality of the ad zone.


 

Step 4: Adding tags (optional)

In many cases your URL will not match a category precisely. In these cases, you can insert 'tags' into the code in your ad zones to manually match them to the type of advertising you want.

For example, you could insert the tags 'general' and 'humour' into your ad zone code, to ensure that you receive this type of advertising.

Find out more about adding tags here.

 

Step 5: Adding Sub IDs (optional)

You can also add SubIDs to the ad zone code to segment the traffic, such as by traffic source, for example.

This information will then be displayed in the Statistics tab, in the Sub IDs sub-tab.

Find out more about using SubIDs here.

 

Reasons why no ads are showing

Once you have created your ad zone, it should begin to continuously generate earnings for you. This might not happen for several reasons:

  • Since our ads are geo-targeted, sometimes there may be no advertising running for your ad zone format, device or country. Check from a different device/country, or wait a few hours to see if ads appear.
  • Your site was rejected.
  • You didn't implement the ad code correctly, or you modified it. Please check your source code to make sure you followed all the steps correctly.
  • You restricted too many products or you blocked too many ad types.
  • Check that there is no ad blocking software running on the system.

To see which ad types and products are blocked for a zone, select the zone in the Sites & Zones page and edit it. In the Filter Ads section, under Block Ad Types and Block Specific Products you can see what is blocked for this zone.

 

Examples of problematic blocking

Example 1

If your ad zone is 'lifestyle', but you block all lifestyle products, you are unlikely to get global advertising to your ad zone.

pub1

 

Example 2

If you've utilised the advanced options and you have set conflicting or unrealistic options this will also restrict/block advertising. In this case you have set too high a floor for your CPM and so you will not receive any ads:
