Monetization Settings for Parking Site
In this document, we will describe how to monetize your
Dub parking site, by placing
advertising items.
Advertising items are managed through
Dub Ad Manager.
So if you haven't done so already, please
read our documentation on
Ad Manager.
The basic process is you add/remove/update advertising items via
Ad Manager and then select which ones to add via
Monetization
settings page within your parking site's admin panel.
By managing advertising items through the ad manager, you can
re-use your ad items on multiple parking sites and parking pages.
Monetization settings
Click on
Monetization
under the
Settings and
you will see the below screenshot.
You will see that there are input fields for various
ad space types. For example,
Desktop Wide Banner-Ads refer to a areas within your parking site where a
horizontally wide and vertically short advertising items are
suitable. In many advertising platforms, you will be able to
select an advertising item which would be suitable for this
area.
The
Desktop Tall Banner-Ads, as the name suggests, are suitable for a vertically long
and horizontally narrow advertising items.
Mobile Wide Banner-Ads are ad items that are displayed only on mobile devices.
Finally, Site Wide Ads
are a type of advertising which is applied globally throughout your
parking site. For example, VigLink is an ad platform which turns
all your links into a potentially viable affiliate links. This isn't
an area-specific ad-item, so it needs to be placed in a special area.
Once you're happy with the selections, click
Save and
the advertising items will start displaying on your parking site.
Things to remember
You can select as many advertising items for each area as you wish.
Dub will display one ad item at a time
rotating through the list of ads that you selected.
We also strongly recommend that you read all the Terms and Services
of the advertising platform that you're using. Some of them have
quite strict rules as to where you can place your ads.
Lastly, getting the right advertising items on your parking site
can take awhile to settle. So we encourage you to experiment with
various ad platform and ad types. Remember, ads are often
frowned upon by your visitors, so you do not want to annoy your
visitors by having too many items.
