Sticky Ads – a guide

Sticky ads are relevant to implement because they can improve the performance of your ad campaigns. This is because sticky ads are more visible and prominent on the page, which can help to increase the visibility of your ads and attract more attention from users. This can lead to higher click-through rates and conversion rates, which can ultimately result in increased ad revenue. Additionally, sticky ads can help to improve the user experience by reducing the amount of “ad clutter” on the page and allowing users to access your content more easily. Overall, implementing sticky ads can be a useful strategy for improving the performance of your programmatic ad campaigns and increasing your ad revenue.

Is it difficult to implement an ad a sticky ad?

Implementing an ad as a sticky ad is not difficult, but it does require some knowledge of web development and coding.

To implement an ad spot as a sticky ad, you will first need to create the ad spot using your ad server or ad management platform. This typically involves setting the dimensions and other specifications for the ad, as well as defining the targeting criteria for the ad (e.g. which users or websites the ad should be shown to). Once the ad spot has been created, you can make it sticky by adding some custom code to your website. This code will cause the ad to remain “fixed” to a specific position on the page as the user scrolls, creating a “sticky” effect. Here is an example of the code you may need to use:

<script>
  // Create a function to make the ad sticky
  function makeSticky() {
    // Get the ad spot element
    var adSpot = document.getElementById("ad-spot");

    // Get the top position of the ad spot
    var adSpotTop = adSpot.offsetTop;

    // Add a class to the ad spot to make it sticky
    adSpot.classList.add("sticky");

    // Set the top position of the ad spot to the top of the page
    adSpot.style.top = 0;
  }

  // Run the function when the page loads
  window.addEventListener("load", makeSticky);
</script>

This code will make the ad spot with the ID “ad-spot” sticky on the page. You can adjust the code as needed to suit your specific requirements. For example, you may want to specify a different position for the sticky ad or add additional styles to the ad spot.
