Controlling ads

Preview modes, the view switcher, excluded pages and formats.

Preview on your own site

Add ?pubber=sandbox to any page on your site to see example offers placed on it, only in your browser and only for that session. Your readers don't see them. ?pubber=live turns the preview off again. The portal's Preview on your site button opens your home page this way.

Previews work once your site is approved. Before that, use Try it with any article URL.

The view switcher

A preview shows a small switch in the corner of the page with three views:

• Real: what readers would get with today's advertisers.
• Fillable: every place our advertisers could fill, ignoring the spacing rules.
• All: every place Pubber found, with a labeled box where nothing fills yet.

You can also pick a view with ?pubber_view=real, fillable or all.

Preview, sandbox and live

• Preview: readers see nothing; you see units with the preview link. New sites start here.
• Live: readers see real offers and you're paid. An approved site goes live once your tag is found.
• Sandbox: every reader sees example offers and nothing is paid. Used for demos.

Keeping units off some pages

Pubber already skips pages without an article, such as most home, category and tag pages. To keep units off other pages or sections, or to turn a format off for your site, email support@pubber.io with the paths (for example /reviews/*) or the format. These settings aren't in the portal yet.

Removing Pubber

Delete the tag. Units stop appearing on the next page load, and nothing else on your site depends on it.
