A leaderboard group: 728×90 on desktop and tablet, 320×100 on phones — rotating every 6 seconds.

NEWS & TRAVEL SITE · ARTICLE PAGE

A sponsored card sits between paragraphs like a story would, clearly labeled. The sidebar rotates four advertisers and the half-page ad sticks while the reader scrolls.

Travel · Example story

A slow weekend in the Catskills, planned in one evening

October 3 · 7 min read

Two hours north of New York City, the Catskills feel like a different decade. Farm stands still take cash, the diners close at three, and the best trail is usually the one behind your cabin.

We planned the whole trip on a weeknight: one cabin, two hikes, a Saturday market and absolutely no itinerary for Sunday. Here is how it came together.

Start with the cabin. Look for a wood stove and a porch that faces the trees rather than the road — you will spend more time there than you expect.

Saturday belongs to the market in Phoenicia. Get there before ten for the cider doughnuts, then drive twenty minutes to the Giant Ledge trailhead while the parking lot still has room.

The climb is steady but short, and the ledges at the top look out over five ridgelines. Bring a thermos; you will want to stay.

…the story continues.

MAGAZINE HOMEPAGE · BILLBOARD

A 970×250 billboard between homepage blocks, framed by thin lines. On phones the same campaign switches to its 300×250 version automatically.

NEW BLOG · SELL YOUR SPACE

When nothing is booked, a slot can show a friendly “Advertise here” box instead of a blank space — sized exactly like the ad that will go there.

SET IT ONCE · NewsOn → Ad placements

Pick a group for inside stories, before or after them and for a sticky bottom bar on phones. Every story on the site gets them — no editing posts one by one.

📰

Inside every story

After paragraph 3, then every 6 — never inside a quote, list or table. Skip short stories, pick categories, or switch it off per story.

📱

Right ad, right screen

Give each ad desktop, tablet or phone. A group can hold a 728×90 and a 320×100 of the same campaign.

⚖️

Fair rotation

Ads in a group take turns by weight. Works with page caching — the browser does the picking.

📅

Start and end dates

Book a campaign for exact dates. It starts and stops on its own.

📊

Real views and clicks

An ad counts as seen when half of it is on screen for a second. Bots and editors are skipped.

🧱

Zero layout shift

Each slot keeps the ad’s exact size before it loads, so readers never lose their place.

🧩

Any ad network

Paste AdSense or other code; it loads only when the slot comes near the screen.

📄

ads.txt built in

Paste your ad network lines and they are served at yoursite.com/ads.txt.

Scroll down a little: the sticky bar at the bottom of the screen is the “Bottom bar” group. Close it and it stays closed for this visit. All advertisers on this page are fictional examples.
