Using an advertising network

In it’s most basic form you enter a name for the advert and add the banner code your network provided for you. Further down you also create or select a schedule for when the campaign should run. If the advert goes into a group you select a group as well.

Creating your own adverts

Of-course you’re not limited to advertising networks. With some basic HTML you can create your own adverts as well. For example from a local business who just provided you with a banner image and their website url.

You again start with a name for the advert. The AdCode you create yourself with basic HTML. Working examples for this are on the right of the AdCode field in AdRotate. Also here, further down you set up a schedule and optionally select a group.

Adverts can be placed on their own, or in groups where AdRotate alternates between the adverts in the group. Adverts and groups can be placed pretty much anywhere on your website including:

  • Inside posts
  • Before or after the post content
  • In sidebars with widgets
  • On any specific page of your choice
  • In the header and footer

Adverts can be any size you desire. But try to keep an eye on what looks good and stick to commonly used sizes.

Anything to create a sales-funnel that will bring more revenue.
