Step-by-step instructions for putting ads on your Blogspot website
What is really inspiring is that you need the very same set of actions to place any of the above-listed Adsterra formats.
There are two ways of adding ads to monetize a Blogger-based website or blog.
If you need an ad placement to appear on every page and be fixed to the page’s structure (e.g., a sidebar), you should put Adsterra codes inside the Blogspot theme.
** Please bear in mind that popunder ads are not attached to any UI element of the website, so you don’t have to look for a vacant place on the website.
The second way of showing adverts to your blog’s visitors is to place them on a blog post page. In this case, your audience will only meet ads when they open this page. It could be a homepage, for instance.
Let’s follow these simple steps right now.
Placing ads via Blogspot themes
When you need advertising units to appear on every page, you should use your website theme settings. After you log in, on your left-hand menu, find and hit the Layout tab. You see how the skeleton of your website looks like, all of its blocks like header, footer, sidebars, etc.
Click the Add a gadget section and choose HTML/JavaScript from the list.
Paste the code you generated at Adsterra into the Content field and click Save.
After you add a gadget, you will see your new HTML/JavaScript element inside the website layout. Drag and drop your gadget if you want to place native or display bannersomewhere else, like the website header or sidebar.
** Please bear in mind the instructions you got while generating the code. If they recommend putting the format before the closing ‘</body>’ tag, you can’t just drag and drop your Blogger gadget to the web page header.
Placing ads on a separate blog post page
Sometimes you need to put ads on specific web pages avoiding all the rest. This might be very helpful if you want to test a new format or leave some pages free of advertising (like those with privacy policy).
On Blogger, you can do it with just two steps:
1. Open the post where you want to show ads. Switch to HTML view by clicking the icon on the upper left corner.
2. Paste the code snippet that you copied from your Adsterra account. Make sure you place the code according to Adsterra instructions. For instance, to add a popunder, you will need to find the tag on your HTML post and paste the core before this tag.
That’s it!
What to keep in mind while monetizing your Blogspot website
- Please don't oversaturate your web pages with ads. At first, it might seem the fastest way to profit, but in the end, your statistics could return massive churn rates.
- Avoid placing more than one popunder ad code on the same page as they might conflict.
- Having added a new placement, open the preview page to make sure the ads don't overlap the content or navigation buttons. If they do, try to find a better placement. Poor UX might strongly affect your CPM.
- When generating a new ad code, please, read a short instruction. At Adsterra, we recommend where exactly to put this ad.
- Each ad code is unique. You can use it only for one placement on one page. To get, say, two banners, you will need to generate two ad codes. This is critical for the correct display of your statistics.
- Some ad placements have advanced settings available on request. E.g., you can ask for changing your popunders frequency settings (how many times one user will meet ads within a given time).
