Creating an Ad Unit (Step-by-Step) ​

Setting up an ad unit is a quick, two-step process.

Step 1: Ad Unit Setup ​

In this step, you define the properties of your ad unit and the website where it will be placed.

  • Ad Unit Details:
    • Ad Unit Name: Give your ad unit a descriptive name for your own reference.
    • Site Category: Select the category that best describes your website's content (e.g., News & Media, Analytics & Data Platform).
    • Website URL: Enter the full URL of the website. This site must pass our verification process before ads can be served.
  • Ad Content Restrictions:
    • Exclude Ad Topics: You have full control to block ads from specific categories (e.g., Gambling, Memecoins) to ensure all content aligns with your brand.

Step 2: Integration & Code ​

Once you've configured your ad unit, you'll receive the code to place on your site.

  • Your Ad Unit Code: Copy the provided JS code snippet.
  • Placement: Paste this code directly into your site's HTML in the exact location where you want the ad to appear.
  • Submission: Click Send for Review. Our team will review your website to ensure it meets our quality guidelines. Once approved, ads will begin to serve automatically.

Script Customization Guide ​

You're in full control of how the ad unit appears and behaves on your site. Just tweak the <ins> tag's attributes to match your design and performance goals.

Styling with style ​

The style attribute lets you define the ad container's size and layout. Make sure to:

  • Set both width and height to match your selected ad size - this ensures banners render correctly.
  • Use display: block so the unit behaves like a proper container.

Choosing an Ad Format with data-ad-size ​

This attribute tells our system which banner format to serve. Use a fixed value to lock in the design:

  • square (250×250)
  • medium-rectangle (300×250)
  • billboard (970×250)
  • leaderboard (728×90)
  • large-rectangle (300×600)
  • skyscraper (160×600)
  • mobile-leaderboard (320×50)
  • mobile-interstitial (320×480)

These formats are optimized for specific placements across desktop and mobile layouts.

Identifying Your Ad Source with data-ad-client ​

Important: This is your unique publisher ID. Do not edit or replace this value - it ensures your ad impressions and earnings are tracked correctly.
