Best Practices for Ad Code Integration
1. Incorrect Placement: Placing ad codes in the wrong section of your HTML can lead to slow loading times or ads not appearing at all. Always follow the recommended placement guidelines.
Tip: Integrate ad codes in the <head> section for faster loading times.
2. Overloading with Ads: Adding too many ads can overwhelm your visitors and lead to a poor user experience. Balance ad placements with your site's content to maintain user engagement.
Tip: Test ad placements regularly to ensure they are working correctly and not overloading your site.
