content

There are a few necessary steps to ensure your ad runs on your site properly. These instructions will guide you throughout the entire process.

 

Step 1: Create an Ad Zone

 

  • Access the “Zones” section of the CMS:

​

 

  • Click on the  button

 

  • Give your ad:

1 – A name identifying the zone

2 – A description to tell you more about the ad zone

3 – A size [This depends on the size of the ad image]

4 – A type [“Banner” is recommended]

5 – A maximum ad rotation [This determined how many ads will rotate in this particular zone ... you can choose up to 16]

6 – A maximum number of currently visible ads [If you choose more than 1, multiple ads will show up in your ad zone]

7 – A rotation preference

 

Click the “Create Zone” button.

 

 

 

Step 2: Apply the Ad Zone to your site

*NOTE: This step can be complicated for some users, so don't hesitate to ask for help at support@travelagencytribes.com

 

  • Log in to your website and access the “Design” section of your Admin Panel.

 

  • Click the button at the far right-hand side of the page.

 

  • Create a new page like so:

1 – Choose “Partial” as the page type

2 – Use the URL “_ads_block”

3 – Name the page “Ads Block”

X – Do not select the “Include in menu” box

 

Click the “Create” button

 

 

 

 

  • Go back to the CMS and click on the “Code” icon next to your ad zone title

 

  • Select all the code within the box


 

  • Paste the code into your “Ads Block” editor

*NOTE: You will need to insert an extra bit of code into line 7 to remove scroll bars from your ad if you don't want them. That code is var _tat_noframe = true;

 

  • Save your page

 

  • Open your "Home" page in the design section of your website and locate where you want your ad to be shown
  • Paste the Ad parser  into the editor like this:

 

Step 3: Make your Ad Creative

 

  • Go to the “Ad Creatives” section of the CMS

 

  • Click on the button

 

  • Set up your ad:

1 – Give it a title you recognize

2 – Include the URL that the ad leads to

3 – Choose which zone to show your ad in

 

Click the “Next” button

 

 

  • You will be taken to the “Ad Creatives” page, but you still need to add content to your ad, so click on the title of your ad

  • Upload the ad image


 

 

1 – Tags: If you have only one site, leave this field blank, otherwise, click here for information on tags.

2 – Schedule when you want your ad to start running and stop ... leave this blank if you want it to run automatically

3 – Alternately, you can stop your ad from running once it reaches a chosen number of impressions

 


 

 

1 – If you wish, choose the start and finish time for running your ad

2 – You can also select a geographical location where your ad will appear, for example, if you wish for an ad to be displayed in only Canadian regions, you would select “Canada”

3 – Your ad will not display if it isn't approved ... check this box

 

Click “Update Ad”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Your ad won't show up on your site if you don't “play it” - if you see the triangular icon, then you need to click it to run the ad

 

  • Check your website for your ad


 


 

Tags

If you want an ad to run in a rotation, but only on one site, then you can use the tagging option to do so.

First, open your ad creative and create a tag. It can be anything you wish, but be mindful of case - “Baking” and “baking” are two different tags.


 

Next open your “Ads Block” page on your site

Add the tag to line 6: var _tat_tags = 'baking';

 

Save your page and you're done!
