Setting up ads on your website through Boxpressd Ad Network is a straightforward process. Follow the steps below to create zones (also called ad units) and add the necessary code to your site. For a detailed visual guide, you can also refer to our step-by-step video tutorial at the bottom of this page.

Step 1: Log In to Your Boxpressd Ad Network Account

Navigate to the Boxpressd Ad Network login page.
Enter your credentials to access your dashboard.

Step 2: Create a New Zone (Ad Unit)

Once logged in, go to "Websites" section and for the site you would like to add a code snippet to, click on the "Zones" icon on the right-hand side of the row.
Click on the "Create" button.
Choose the type of zone you want to create (e.g., banner, VAST, etc). Banner is the most common and covers both image and video ad types.
Fill in the required details for your ad unit:
- Name: Give your ad unit a name for easy identification.
- Size: Select the appropriate size for your ad unit (e.g., 300x250, 728x90).

Step 3: Generate Ad Code

After creating your zone, you will be provided with a snippet of code.
Copy this code to your clipboard.

Step 4: Add the Code to Your Website

Open the HTML file of the webpage where you want to display the ad.
Paste the copied ad code into the desired location within your HTML file. Typically, this will be within the <body> tags where you want the ad to appear. For WordPress sites, you can use your page builder or a plugin to add the code. For more details, see the video below.
Save your changes and upload the updated HTML file to your web server.

Step 5: Verify the Ad Display

Refresh your webpage to ensure the ads appear correctly.
If the ad doesn’t display immediately, please allow a few minutes for the changes to take effect.
