Ad Script on Test Site

Vlad Susanu

Hello,

 

I am new to Grow and Journey, and I have a question about the script for ads. Is it possible to test it on the prod version (test version) of my site before pushing it to the live site? I am not using WordPress, so I need to take a look at where the ads appear before pushing to the live version

 

Thank you

    Hey Vlad Susanu - the script running on your site is preconfigured to a set of HTML selectors to set the content and sidebar ads on your site. Running a version of this script on your production site won't likely cause ads to display here, as the HTML may be different.

    When you do end up pushing prod to live, the Script itself will automatically update with a new set of selectors after a bit of time.

    I hope this helps!

    It sure does. Question. Since my website differs from other sites (using a lot of JS), can I place the ad code in specific spots?

    Hi Vlad! Custom ad placements are not available with Journey. The script will crawl your site and find content and sidebar selectors based on the site's markup. Thanks!!

    Heh, I wish I could share the site with you. We don't use sidebar selectors. Not available or not allowed? :)

    Don't get me wrong; my devs know how to place them in specific spots. I just want to make sure we are not breaking any rules. For example, the ads can't find any interactive JS elements. But we can place them inside.

    If there isn't a sidebar, that's perfectly fine - the sidebar ads just wouldn't be placed. Ads also wouldn't display inside of interactive JS elements. All the targeting will be handled via the script, so you would just need to get that added to the live site for ads to start displaying.
