Hi Ralph,
Thanks for reaching out.
Basically, the principle of embedding ads with Advanced Ads is quite easy to learn:
- you create an ad unit
- you optionally group multiple ad units in ad groups (good for rotating ads with refresh-intervals etc.)
- you assign your ads or ad groups to specific Placements – this will show the ads on specific locations on your website
- you can set various options like display conditions or visitor conditions to filter your ads based on various parameters
For information on the first steps with Advanced Ads have a look at our manual “Creating and displaying your first ad” here. There’s a video included.
To assign ads on widgets I suggest using the widget placement.
Once you have set up your Placements efficiently, Advanced Ads gives you powerful functions to deliver ads very flexible in your website’s framework. You can, of course, also embed ad units individually with a shortcode anywhere on your site.
Have a nice day and stay healthy.
Kind Regards,
Henning
