The optimal placement can greatly improve the effectiveness of advertisements on your website. We collected the most useful areas so that you know where to place ads on your site and the ad sizes that the majority of the advertisers prefer.
These are the most popular areas for ad placement on a website:
Header: Advertisers often place banners or leaderboards (728×90) in the header of a website to capture the attention of the visitors as soon as they arrive.
Sidebar: Square or skyscraper ads (300×600) are placed in the sidebar which is usually on the right or left side of a web page.
In-content: Medium rectangle ads (300×250) are usually placed between articles or within the content of the page.
Footer: Banners or leaderboards (728×90) are regularly placed in the footer of a website too, where visitors may look before leaving the page.
