Creating a banner

In the Create campaign drop-down menu, select Search banners. Think up a campaign name and select a region and display strategy. We recommend using the “Optimize the number of clicks” strategy.

Some of the fields will be filled in automatically; enter other values if necessary.

Step 1. Add a creative

You can upload a creative from your computer or the internet. You can add only one ad creative for each ad.

Your creative must meet the following technical requirements:


Maximum file size	120 KB
File type	JPG, PNG or GIF
Size in pixels	240×400

Step 2. Enter a link to your site

In the Link to site field, enter the webpage address that your banner will lead to.

Step 3. Set up impression criteria

Your banners may be served when users enter searches that contain one of the complete keywords you entered. Keywords are applied at the banner group level.

Moderate banner and launch campaign

After you create your banner, it will be checked to make sure the requirements are met. Click Send to moderation and confirm that you accept the Yandex terms for publishing your ad. It usually takes the moderators a few hours to review your banner. Moderators do not work at night. On weekends and holidays, moderation might take longer than it does on business days.

Your moderation results will be emailed to the address you provided when you created the ad campaign.

Your banner will begin displaying as soon as Yandex receives your payment.
