Advertisers

Overview

Advertisers can find web sites in which they are interested in advertising on, and make deals directly with the publisher. Advertisers and publishers can negotiate and agree on specific pages and/or placements, dates, quantity and price.

Getting Started

On sign-up, AdSynergy takes you to a "Getting Started" page that allows you to add the pertinent company, professional, and campaign information to get you up and running quickly and easily. Each profile section privacy defaults to "private", and can be made "public" (viewable by publishers), when ever you are ready.

Advertising Terms

Once you have signed up as an Advertiser the first thing to do is to fill in your Advertiser Profile. This describes the brands and products you would like to promote. This is the first thing a publisher will see when considering you as a candidate to advertise in their publication. You know the saying, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

The advertiser can add products, brands or product lines they would like to promote. Each product/brand can have multiple campaigns. Each campaign can have multiple ad sets and each ad set can have multiple ads.

Ad Campaigns Include a description of the campaign and one or more Ad Sets (groups of advertisements to be used in that campaign). Campaigns run for a specified period of time, with defined start and end dates.

Ad Sets are made up of 1 or more Advertisements (Ads). It is the Ad Set that becomes part of the contract with the publisher. (This data becomes part of the transaction.) As in, "place this set of ads in the agreed slot in your publication". Typically Ads in an Ad Set are of a common size so that they can be placed in a publication Ad Slot of matching size. They may be of different formats (text, HTML, SVG, image or video), but this may make them more difficult to match with an publisher's Ad Slot specifications..

Ads (Advertisements) are the content being delivered to the viewer. The Ads (ad copy) can be shared among more than 1 Ad Set. Each ad has an associated landing page allowing advertisers to target different audiences, or to promote different products or to A/B test ad response. Ads can b any size, however you need to match the publisher's ad spaces. Here are some common ad sizes.

Placements are the agreement between the publisher and advertiser to run an advertiser's Ad Set in a specific publication Ad Slot.

Getting Started

Here are the basic steps to get started.

Once you have at least one Ad, in one ad Set and have described the product/brand and campaign you are ready to contact a publisher and place an Ad Buy.

Slots are a basic grouping of ad space for sale. Publishers define the pages that the slot appears on, by placing specific code on the pages to serve the ads for that slot.
