AdNow Widget Integration

The AdNow widget is completely customizable. I suggest you create separate widget for your mobile and desktop traffic. You can customize the image size, font, backgroup, rows and columns from the widget settings box.

Once you have tweaked the widget settings according to your needs, you can move on to get the widget code. It typically has two codes. One for the widget placement i.e. where you can the widget to appear and the other is the ad loading javascript. You can combine both the codes together and place it where you want the widget to appear. Else, you can place the initialization code on the head and the widget code where you want the ads to appear.

Shown below, is a sample of the AdNow ad widget while I was customizing it.

Getting the Maximum of AdNow

AdNow can be a good AdSense alternative and is a great network for emerging bloggers who wish to try native ads. Since, all the three big players, Taboola, RevContent, and Outbrain require substantial about of traffic from publishers to join their ad network, AdNow is flexible. To get the maximum CTR from AdNow I suggest you create/experiment with 2-3 ad widgets. The widgets are completely customizable and the ads will start loading once you install the code on your site.

• You can use a sidebar widget for your desktop traffic
• You can place a widget within content for your mobile traffic
• You can place a standard widget just after the end of the content

This recommendation is based on our observation that the sidebar widget tends to perform well on desktop traffic but not so for mobile traffic. You can expect a CTR of 2-3% based on your theme/content/niche.
