As a matter of fact this will be something of an instructional exercise on how a site utilizing Affiliate Networks as the principal wellspring of income and other promoting sources to adjust things can set up Google Ad Manager to safeguard the Affiliate promotions are given the most elevated need. I likewise have a couple of tips on how promotions can be controlled on your site under this arrangement. A portion of this data might be more substantial for destinations with under 1000 guests per day, when customary promotions networks won’t create a lot of income, but rather it ought to be a decent walkthrough for anybody preparing to utilize Google Ad Manager.
I began utilizing Google Ad Manager to monitor the beginning and stop times for exceptional offers and other time delicate promotions from the Affiliate Networks I use. It is an extremely integral asset for that and numerous different choices you should apply to your promoting efforts, stunningly better, it is free. In any case, what I found when I had Google Ad Manager arrangement the manner in which it likely ought to be for high traffic destinations is that my ‘Home’ promotions, the Affiliate Networks I needed to be given the most noteworthy need and had them set with higher CPM and vCPM values consequently, were reliably losing the Ad Slot to AdSense promotions (turned on in the Ad Slot settings). I likewise attempted to arrangement AdSense promotions to run as an ‘Promotion Network’, however this gave comparable outcomes, so clearly ‘House’ orders are given a lower generally need paying little heed to what CPM esteem is relegated. This is the thing I thought of to manage that, and it appears to function admirably.
First you should design out the Ad Zones for your webpage, how this is finished from a specialized point of view will differ contingent upon how your site is constructed, yet in the end you should embed code into the header and where you believe that the promotions should show, so set up your site and plan where the advertisements will go – on the off chance that this has not been done as of now.
For WordPress clients a Google Ad Manager WordPress Plugin exists, yet except if you basically are not happy altering your subject records, this is the very thing that I accept to be a superior choice… I utilize the Advertising Manager WordPress Plugin to provide me with some extra control of the Ad Zones from the WordPress Dashboard. This actually required altering the legitimate subject documents and a work in the sidebar to embed the module code, so it is a discretionary step, as a matter of fact (I like to hand input the code into a text gadget, however the Advertising Manager WordPress Plugin gives sidebar gadgets). Favoring this later, we should get to setting up Google Ad Manager.
Since you have characterized Ad Zones for your site, login to google ads management and lets arrangement your Inventory, or Ad Slots and Placements (you can get genuinely imaginative here, however in a basic arrangement every Ad Slot will require a Placement – the instructional exercises for Ad Manager cover this well). If new to this it could work best to give the Ad Slots and Placements a similar name, and have this likewise be the name of the Ad Zone on your site. Ensure when you arrangement the Ad Slots that you uncheck “Use network-determined defaults for AdSense settings” and “Expand income of unsold and remainder stock with AdSense” to cripple AdSense settings, I will tell you the best way to get AdSense (or some other promotion source) working later. Something else to note right now is that once arrangement, you won’t actually associate with the Ad Slots, and your genuine promotions (called orders) will go into Placements. Go to Inventory >> Ad Slots >> New Ad Slot and arrangement your expected Ad Slots.
With the Ad Slots characterized, here is where we want to create the code you should embed into your site for this entire thing to work. Go to Inventory >> Generate Sample HTML, presently select (add) every Ad Slot for your site (every one of them, except if you made Ad Slots for different destinations) and snap Generate Sample HTML. You will wind up with 2 segments of code, one that should be embedded into the header and another that incorporates code for every Ad Slot. Embed this code into the suitable spots in your site code now.
For WordPress clients the header is quite often going to be a subject record called, strangely, header.php, which can be altered from the dashboard under Appearance >> Editor. Altering the different subject documents to embed the promotion code into the various sorts of pages really depends on you, since it will rely upon your particular setup and topic. On the off chance that you are not happy doing that, you may be in an ideal situation basically embedding the Ad Slot code into sidebar gadgets or utilizing the Google Ad Manager WordPress Plugin, as talked about above. Assuming you chose my choice of utilizing the Advertising Manager WordPress Plugin and have previously embedded the expected code into your subject records, then, at that point, you can just make ‘promotions’ with the Advertising Manager WordPress Plugin to address every Ad Zone on your site and supplement the Ad Slot code into those ‘promotions’. Doing this utilizing the Advertising Manager WordPress Plugin permits you to effectively turn on or off control of the promotions by Google Ad Manager and gives other promotion choices locally. Despite what direction you embed the Ad Slot code you will in any case have to alter the header record however, or nothing will work (I think the Google Ad Manager WordPress Plugin handles this, yet I have likewise heard certain individuals disapprove of this module changing the code of AdSense promotions, making Google suspend promotions on the connected AdSense account – I don’t utilize the Google Ad Manager WordPress Plugin myself so I can’t say assuming that is valid or on the other hand on the off chance that another issue existed).
Presently you should make Placements for your Ad Slots, as expressed above it very well may be most straightforward to give the Placements a similar name as the Ad Zone on your site since that is what they address in this genuinely basic arrangement. Go to Inventory >> Placements >> New Placement and arrangement your expected Placements. When the Placements are arrangement you should dole out every Ad Slot to a Placement (or every Placement to an Ad Slot, whichever you like), you could have seen the Ad Slot can be relegated as you arrangement every Placement too. Once more, you can manage complex arrangements here, yet in this basic arrangement every Ad Zone on your site is addressed by an Ad Slot in Google Ad Manager, thus, every Ad Slot is relegated to a Placement and the genuine promotions (orders) are doled out a Placement to figure out which Ad Slot and eventually, which Ad Zone the advertisements will show up in.
Alright, as yet this has been a standard arrangement for Google Ad Manager, yet here is where we begin to do things somewhat unique. It is currently time to arrangement your Companies, these are truly going to be your Advertising Sources, like Google AdSense or Commission Junction. Organizations are arrangement under Admin, so go to Admin >> Companies >> New Company and arrangement a Company for each wellspring of promotions that you have (I suppose you could likewise make one Company and dole out the entirety of your orders to that Company, whatever seems best for you). Significant! Arrangement each Company as an Advertiser, regardless of what sort of promotion source it really is, this will seem OK later, particularly in the event that you treat it terribly now…
That was sufficiently simple, presently comes the following part, setting up the real promotions. Promotions, really called Orders, are arrangement in a 3 stage process. The first of these means is to make an Order, for effortlessness this will likewise be given a similar name as the promotion source, since it will contain every one of the singular advertisements from this advertisement source as Line Items. Go to Orders >> New Order (don’t utilize New Network Ad Order) and make an Order for every one of your promotion sources. Set the Billable Party to Advertiser and afterward select the Advertiser (really this will be the Companies we arrangement prior) starting from the drop list (in the event that you neglected to set each Company as an Advertiser they won’t show in this rundown). You will likewise presumably need to set the end date to Unlimited except if you have a known date that you expect to quit utilizing this promotion source (individual promotions will be placed later and can have free beginning and stop times).
Presently we can embed a genuine promotion into one of the Orders. Click the request you need to embed a promotion into, and afterward click New Line Item. You will need to give the Line Items a name that makes sense of what the promotion is and where it shows, to make it simpler to work with them later. Significant! Here you conclude what need the promotion will have. Continuously select House as the Delivery Priority for your Ad Network promotions and Remnant as the Delivery Priority for your Affiliate Network advertisements, essentially for the present. You can get extravagant with other Delivery Priority types once you are alright with how Google Ad Manager will serve promotions while other setting are utilized. When in doubt, other than unique promotion programs, you will just utilize House or Remnant. Promotion need has all the earmarks of being appointed as such while utilizing Google Ad Manager:
