Working with code

Once you've signed up and been accepted into any of the advertising programs, you'll probably want to spend a little time experimenting with all the different types of ads you can create. Setting them up is simple: each site provides their own easy-to-use wizard, which usually includes presets for different shapes and sizes as well as a choice of text or banner ads. Often you can create your own color schemes, too.

Before designing your final ads, think carefully about the layout of your web pages - you may need to re-juggle sections if you haven't already left advertising space. And any ad you create will need to fit into place, of course, so it's worth considering the how this will work with your website open at the same time - you can usually judge dimensions by eye.

In all cases, once you've walked through your wizard the final button will deliver a chunk of code that looks something like this:

Ad code in weebly

If you've created your site in weebly, any ad code has to be pasted into a special box known as a custom html element.

To access this, click the Elements tab then the More option.

Drag a custom html element into position in your layout (if you've previously left a space for ads using a picture or paragraph element, you'll need to replace it).

Once the element is positioned, it will display a 'click to set custom html' message. Go ahead and click, and an Edit Custom Html button then appears in the weebly Editor panel.

Click this, and the interior of the element turns white, allowing you to paste your code inside (don't worry if nothing seems to happen straightaway - you won't actually see the ad until the site is online).

Click the Publish button to view your new ad.

Working with Adbrite in weebly - finding your ID

As we've already said, weebly makes it simple to drag and drop Adbrite ads into pages without any pasting of code needed. The initial hitch, however (and admittedly it's only a very small one) is that you'll need to use your own Adbrite account ID in order to make sure you get paid for the ads rather than weebly.

For some strange reason your personal id doesn't seem to be recorded anywhere in Adbrite's admin areas. Nevertheless, it is automatically embedded inside any ad code you generate. So to grab your id, you'll have to set up at an initial chunk of code, even though you won't have to actually paste this into a weebly page.

Once you've created the code (which you might want to copy and paste somewhere for future reference) look for the following:

In this case, the id is 456789 (we've underlined the numbers in the image ourselves). Yours will be another 6-figure number.

Using Adbrite Ads elements

Once you've successfully obtained your ID, the rest is simple.

click the Elements tab then the More option.

Drag an Adbrite Ads element into position in your layout.

Click just inside it, and Element Options will appear.

Click inside the Account ID box and type in your own account number

If you want to, use the Orientation pull-down menu to change the appearance of your ad.

That's it! Just remember to change the ID every time you use a new Adbrite element.
