Google Ad Manager Integration

Google Ad Manager Specific Identifiers

If you wish to place Google Ad Manager ads we will need the following Google Ad Manager specific information:

Publisher ID
To find the pubID, please refer to this article: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/105516?hl=en

Ad Unit ID
To find the ad ID, log into your Google Ad Manager dashboard and go to Inventory > Ad units

Click the relevant ad unit, then scroll down to reveal the settings. The ID is the code field, which is often, but not always, the same as the ad unit name (depends what you set when you were creating it). Ad unit codes can be up to 100 characters in length. Only letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, periods, asterisks, forward slashes, backslashes, exclamations, left angle brackets, colons and parentheses are allowed. Each code must be unique; you can’t reuse codes you’ve used before. Once you’ve created the ad unit, you can’t change the code.

Views

Which view you would like your ad to appear.

Options: Reader View, Page View

Publishers typically opt for having their ads appear in both views. However, there may be instances where you wish to have an ad only appear in one or the other.

Placement

GTxcel offers multiple positions in which your ads can appear.

Options: Leaderboard, Banner, TOC, Interleaved

Leaderboard

Leaderboards appear below navigation and above content

Banner

Banners appear at the bottom of the screen, centered. Banner must float and have the close button

TOC

TOC ads will appear at the bottom of the TOC in Page View and reading View.

Interleaved

Interleaved ads appear within the table of contents in Reading View (Ad Manager only, static images not supported).

Display Options

Options: Float, Close Button

Float: By default, ads will be static and push the content above or below the The float option allows the ad image to float on top of the content. Turning float on will automatically enable the close button. While the float option can be applied to all ad positions, it is best practice to keep it disabled for the TOC ad as it will block some of the table of contents and could be considered intrusive.

Close Button: You can enable the close button on any ad. If you have float enabled, the close button is enabled by default.

Best Practice:

We recommend using leaderboard for desktop, and closable banners for mobile
