Page Specific Banner
This option applies to sidekick ads only.
If this option is selected, you must also add the URL of the page where you would like the ad displayed in the field labeled "Ad Page to Show On"

Ad Link
Enter the URL for the ad here. 
It must include the http:// or https:// at the beginning.

Once an ad has been uploaded, it goes into rotation on the site and a single ad from the ad pool is pulled when a page loads. If no ads are loaded into the system, or if all ads fall outside of the date-range, that area of the page will be blank. 

To edit an ad, go to Content » Chapter Advertising, click the title of the ad (the identifier), and you'll be brought to the same page you saw when you created the ad.

To publish or unpublish ads, go to Content » Chapter Advertising, click the checkbox(es) for the ad(s) you’d like to work with.

 


 


Next, click More Actions, and either Publish or Unpublish.
