Depending on the platform, installing an SFI or TripleClicks (TC) banner on your blog can be accomplished with elegance. Don’t just install SFI/TC banner on your blog just to be awarded 100 VP but rather think of your blog overall designed that will make good impression to your prospects increasing the chances of your conversion rate.
Most popular blog sites are using the WordPress platform. Why? WordPress offers flexibility. Your visitors/prospects can see your blog on almost all devices available today from iPad, Android Smart Phone, Tablet, Desktop, Laptop, netbook, etc. This platform will not cause any problem. Your blog site will appear as if it was designed to any of the device available today.
Here are instructions of how you can install an SFI or TripleClicks banner on your blog:
- Before installing your preferred SFI/TC banner on your blog site, you need to prepare your WordPress blog ready to accept it. You can do this by manually placing your banner ads directly into the WordPress theme files or choosing to use a cool WordPress plug in. While there are advantages to both, let’s just work with manually placing your banner ads option.
- Choose the SFI/TC banner you prefer to place in your blog by heading in to the Marketing Aids (https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter).
- Click Preview and copy the HTML code only of your chosen banner. Your SFI ID is already included in the code.
- Log in to our WordPress administrative area and decide where you want to place the banner. You can add them to your Sidebars, Header or Footer areas using widgets, or you can add them to the text part of your Posts.
Installing your preferred SFI/TC banner to your Sidebar, Header or Footer means that every Page and Post on your blog will display the same Banner Ad. Why? Sidebars, Header Areas and Footer areas are the parts of your blog which are a static part of the overall blog design, so it will be visible on all your Posts and Pages as well as your home page. Whereas, if you install your banner within the Content areas of a Post or Page – where you write your text – you can restrict the ad to be seen on that Post only.
- Install your chosen SFI/TC banner
Since it is a common practice to install banner on sidebar area, I’m going to show you how this process can be easily accomplished. There are two options to perform this:
If your theme supports widgets in your sidebar, go to Dashboard>Appearance>Widgets and then drag a Text widget to the widget sidebar are of your choice and paste the banner code in it. Click the Save button.
If widgets are not supported in your theme, you’ll need to install your banner code directly into the sidebar.php. You can then edit this file from the Appearance>Editor of your WordPress admin page.
