We are here to help!

Our commercial and data science teams can help you with the best pages and sections to display banner ads. We've done this many times and are here to help you reach the true potential of banner ads that boosts user experience.

Landing Pages

Your homepage, and the other high-value and specific pages that act as landing pages are perfect for banner ads due to their high traffic. Start with creating the slots.

📘

Checkout pages are also landing pages!

A slot is a two-dimensional area in your application. It is a placeholder for banners. You can specify different dimensions (width/height) for different device types (desktop and mobile).

A landing page can contain any number of slots. You can even create multiple slots in the same sections, to create carousels or sliders with banner ads.

For each slot that belongs to a landing page, you should provide

  • Landing Page Link: The URL of the page the slot is created at.
  • Landing Page Name: The name of the landing page that the slot belongs to.
  • SlotID: A unique identifier that can contain alphanumeric characters and the following symbols: !"#$%&'()*+,-._/:;<>?@[]^{}~=
  • Width: The width of the image of the slot.
  • Height: The height of the image of the slot.

Category and Search

With Topsort you can serve banner ads on any page, and your vendors and brands can target certain categories and keywords. Category and Search ads have very high relevance when configured the right way, increasing their demand and value. For example, you can create a banner ad slot on the "Hiking boots" category page, and only give access to outdoor activity brands.
