Getting your ad code and ads onto your site

If you are having trouble finding or adding our ad code to your web site then this step by step instruction guide is for you. We do recognise that not everyone has experience with using services like ours and need some help getting started.

I am going to assume you are completely new to AdToll and have not attempted to add your site yet.

If you follow these steps below you will successfully add your site into our system, create an ad group and then get the ad code required onto your site.

STEP ONE: ADD A SITE

To get started you need to be in your account area - http://www.adtoll.com/account

The account area is the central hub that you will use frequently to perform a variety of actions. Once there you can start off by adding your site. To do this click “Add a New Site” in the Publisher control panel.

This will take you to the area where you add the details of your site such as URL, name, description etc… Fill out all of the details accurately then click on the “Add Site” button at the bottom of the page.

It is important to fill in all the details correctly as it is this information that is used to review (then approve) your site and more importantly is seen by prospective advertisers - so you want to impress them!

STEP TWO: CREATE THE FIRST AD GROUP

Now that your site has been created you need to create the first ad group for your site. Select the ad format and provide all of the details required and then click on the “Proceed to Ad Group Layout” button.

Again it is important to note that you should provide all of the information accurately!

STEP THREE: AD GROUP LAYOUT (GRAB AD CODE)

Now that your site and your first ad group has been created you are ready to format how you want your ads to look. On this screen you can do exactly that. I encourage you to have a play with the options available and format the look and feel of your ad group to your liking. When you are done you are then ready to copy the ad code provided, which will look something like this:

So from there you select the text (ad code) provided in the text box, copy it, and then paste it into your web sites HTML where you want the ad group to appear.

Once you have done that all you need to do is upload the modified page to your web server, normally using an FTP client such as wsFTP or LeapFTP. In some cases you might use a web editing tool to edit your web pages but the theory is the same.

Getting your ad code if your site and ad group is already created

You might already have your site and ad group created and just want to get to the layout screen where you can alter the layout and copy the new ad code. You can do this from the account area by expanding your site and clicking the green edit icon to the right of the ad group details.

It really is that easy! If you do have any questions though please get in contact with us or reply to this blog entry with questions.
