Configure a Banner Slot

Each banner slot represents one placement of your inventory, also being the placeholders for banners.

Viewing all created slots

The “Configuration” page displays all configurations made underneath its corresponding placement (landing page, categories, or search).

How to create new slots

You can create new configurations by clicking the “Add a Configuration” button. Here, you can choose between Landing Page, Search and Category options. You can then either manually input the details or bulk upload multiple slots. You can create separate banner ads experiences, for mobile, desktop, and apps.

Landing Pages

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 targeting 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.
