What is the minimum deposit for Advertiser to start an ad campaign? |

>> Publisher Y indicated - 1 month duration for Banner 728x90 - 18$

For example:
Publisher created a unique ad zone for banner format - 728x90. The Publisher placed a unique html code that belongs to this zone at the top of his website page. Then, the Publisher decided to place an additional same size banner at the bottom of the same page. In this case, Publisher must use the same html code. In short, Publisher does not need to create an additional unique ad zone for the same size bottom banner.
Moreover, Publishers can mix the AdsPilot ads with other advertising networks ads, but the AdsPilot ads should be clearly identified by your website visitors.
|
|
|
 |
Can I place html code on more than one website? |
|
No. You need to create new ad zone for this purpose. The html code will only work on the primary domain name and its subdomains set by Publisher in his account.
For example:
If you added www.YourSite.com to your account, and then pasted the html code belonging to this ad zone onto www.NotYourSite.com, the html code will not work. You will get an Error Message on your website page. Publisher can manage multiple websites under one account. You can add any reasonable amount of new ad zones to your account.
|
|
|
 |
Can I mix AdsPilot ads with other ad networks advertisement? |
|
