How Do I Place An Ad On My Website?

This Article Is For:

  • Users who have: Advertising Permissions
  • This is applicable to: All Themes

Note:

  • Please allow for up to 3 hours for ads to start displaying correctly before you contact Google Ad Manager's customer support asking them for help. If it has been longer than 3 hours, please contact Google here: https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/?hl=en#topic=28132&contact=1
  • If you want your ad to be mobile responsive, you must edit the ad code within Google Ad Manager
  • The word 'Advertisement' will appear as soon as ad code is saved in the ad slot.
  • We can’t offer the option to turn off the ‘Advertisement’ label in order to adhere to best practices and ethical standards (based on intended use). Google and Apple have been cracking down on bad ad practices in the last several years and so when legitimate website content cannot be clearly identified from ad content, it affects things like Google search ranking, etc.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Go to: Website > Website Settings > Advertising 
  2. Scroll down to the 'Ad Units' section
  3. Click the 'edit pencil' icon beside the ad unit you want to edit/add
  4. In the pop-up window, enter your Ad Code
