Which Code do I put in – or – Why doesn’t this work?

As you probably noticed when you went to the Code Wizard in your WebAds control panel, you have a few different options as to what code to use and what options to use with it.

To begin with, most of the options on the left side of the page aren’t relevant as we aren’t deploying ad formats like pop-ups and text ads at the moment - though we might change that in the future if we see that both the publishers and advertisers want them. (We uses Banners->HTML – in case you got lost in the menu).

But then things get technical, yes IFrame, no IFrame, and when you put the code into your website, nothing showed up. What gives?

Here’s one possible answer.

By default you should simply select your Zone (the ad size/type), and click on the "Comments" option if you want them.

Insert the code into your website and see what happens.

We’ve found that Blogger Beta (for some strange reason) prefers that the ad code be inserted into IFrames (we tested it with a Flash ad), but first try it without the IFrame option, if you can’t see your ad, generate the code again with the IFrame option selected.

Now you should see it! Go Figure.

In the future we will probably add Automatic Refresh and Multiple Ads options (both allow you more ad impressions per pageview), but just hold off on those for a while.

If you have any questions on the subject, just post a comment.
