Welcome to Gourmet Ads, this page will help you get ads up and running on your website.
1. Ad Tags
When we have received your signed Comscore Letter and a link to your Privacy Policy, our publishing team will email you a set of ad tags for your site. We will send you the most popular sizes with advertisers and agencies across the world these being;
- 300×600 – see sample
- 300×250 (Island, Medium Rectangle, MPU or MREC ) – see sample
- 728×90 (Leaderboard) – see sample
- 160×600 (Skyscraper) – see sample
If you haven’t received your ad tags yet from our team, please contact us.
2. Positioning of Ads
Advertisers insist on running their ads above the fold, as such we require at least 2 ads above the fold and no more than 3 ads on a single page. In regards to where to positioning your ads it’s important to read this blog before you start adding them to your site – Positioning Your Ad Units
3. Website Badges
While you’re adding Ad tags take a few minutes and add one of our Website Badges to the site. Gourmet Ads Website Badges
4. Screen Shots
After you have setup all the ad units on the site, please email us screen shots or links to the pages where you have setup Gourmet Ads ad tags. This is an important phase as we need to check on behalf of our advertising clients that ads are above fold and have been setup properly.
5. Going Live with Campaigns
Initially ads running through your tags will be a combination of Run of Network, Remnant and House Ads which will provide 100% Fill.
Before you start getting our Premium Ads you need to contact us and let us know your site is live. It’s essential to send us at least 1 if not 2 screen shots to speed up the process.
Once we’ve looked over your site, we’ll then start adding your site to as many relevant advertising campaigns as we can. However it can take up 6 to 8 weeks for all running campaigns to be allocated to your site. The is because many advertising agencies will need to approve your site before we ad your site to a campaign they are running.
After you’re Ads are Live.
