Third-party advertising can be integrated into your site through services like Google AdSense. When displaying ads, ensure compliance with Terms of Use and Acceptable Use Policy.

Adding Ads to Your Site

1. Subscribe to a third-party advertising service
2. Use Code Blocks to paste the advertising code
3. Start with footer or sidebar placement for best results

Google AdSense Integration

Two methods for implementing AdSense:

Automatic Placement:

• Add AdSense activation code to Header Injection field
• Google's machine learning determines optimal ad placement

Manual Placement:

1. Remove any existing activation code
2. Disable automatic ads in AdSense account
3. Create ad units and copy their code
4. Insert code into Code Blocks at desired locations

Important Considerations

• Ads.txt file upload is not currently supported
• Code-based customizations are not covered by support services
• Ad functionality may vary across templates and devices
• Future platform updates might affect ad display

Best Practices

• Test ads across different devices
• Monitor ad performance regularly
• Ensure ads don't disrupt user experience
• Follow advertising service guidelines

Getting Help

• Contact your advertising service provider for technical support
• Consult the Squarespace forum for community assistance
• Consider hiring a Squarespace expert for custom implementations
• Review platform documentation for code implementation best practices

Remember that while custom code solutions offer flexibility, they require regular maintenance and monitoring to ensure consistent performance.
