You can place third-party ads on your site through services like Google AdSense, as long as the content complies with Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

Adding Google AdSense to Your Site

There are two methods to implement Google AdSense:

1. Automatic Ad Placement:

• Sign up for Google AdSense
• Copy the activation code from your AdSense homepage
• Add it to the Header field in site-level Code Injection
• Google will automatically place ads using machine learning

2. Manual Ad Placement:

• Disable automatic ads in your AdSense account
• Create specific ad units and copy their codes
• Insert the codes into Code Blocks where you want ads to appear
• Common placement areas include sidebars and footers

Important Considerations:

• Ads.txt file upload is currently not supported
• Ad functionality with responsive design may vary
• Code-based customizations are not covered by standard support
• Ads may be affected by future platform updates

For Additional Help:

• Consult Google AdSense support for technical questions
• Review best practices for custom code implementation
• Consider hiring a Squarespace Expert for custom solutions
• Visit the Squarespace Forum for community assistance

Note: While implementing ads, ensure they display properly across all devices and don't negatively impact your site's user experience or loading speed.
