Ad Box Element and Ads Overview

In Newspaper theme, we have built a system designed to avoid ad blindness and give you the best results concerning both revenue and user experience. This intelligent ad system can be used with one of the most popular advertising platforms – AdSense by Google, but also with custom HTML ads also known as banner ads.

Newspaper theme brings you the Ad Box element, which simplifies the way you’re adding ads, right on the frontend of your site. You can place ads wherever you want on your website.

* do not use this method for AdSense ads. This is just for custom ads. For AdSense ads just paste your full code into the box and customize the ad via the on/off switches and the predefined sizes.

<div class="td-all-devices">
<!-- Your NON AdSense code here - this ad will show on all devices -->
</div>
