Start displaying ads

You can start getting acquainted with the Yandex Advertising Network right after filling out the application. You will be granted access to the YAN interface automatically.

To start displaying ads on your resource:

Pass the moderation process on the platform.
Create an ad block.
Embed the ad code on your website.

Ads are picked based on the website's or app's content and the interests of each particular user. To learn more about the types of content allowed for impressions, see Moderating ad subjects.

Setting up ad impressions

Step 1. Platform moderation

The resource you enter in the application will be added to the list of platforms and is automatically submitted for moderation. Site moderation usually takes less than a day, but in rare cases, it may take up to a few days. To learn more about moderation, see Moderation.

To view your moderation status, go to Products → Content sites. Wait until you're approved and then you can start creating an ad block.

Step 2. Creating an ad block

Open the Products tab and select Content sites → RTB blocks.
Click Add RTB block.
Select the site that you entered in the application from the list.
Select the version of the site where you plan on placing the ad block.
Add the ad formats thay you want to see displayed on your platform and configure their design. The default formats are Media ads and Standard design (which is a classic hypertext design used for Yandex.Direct ads).
Set your traffic management strategy. We recommend choosing the Maximum revenue strategy for your first ad block, which will utilize all available traffic.
Click Create.

Step 3. Embedding the ad code on your website

To start serving ads on your website, embed the ad code:

Go to the RTB blocks page, find the desired block, and click Get code. The ad code consists of two parts: the YAN loader code and the ad block code.
Copy the code to the clipboard and embed it on all the pages of the site where you plan to display ads:
- Paste the loader code at the beginning of the page between the <head> and </head> tags.
- Embed the ad block code in the place where the ad block is to be displayed.

Note. New ad block impressions start within 2 hours of being created (provided you embedded its code on your website).

Step 1. Platform moderation

The resource you enter in the application will be added to the list of platforms and is automatically submitted for moderation. Moderation for mobile apps takes up to two days. To learn more about moderation, see Moderation.

To view your moderation status, go to Products → Mobile platforms. You don't need to do anything else.

You can create your first ad block while your platform is under moderation.

Step 2. Creating an ad block

Open the Products tab and select Mobile platforms → Mobile RTB blocks.
Click Create mobile RTB block.
Select the site that you entered in the application from the list.
Select the ad block type and configure it.
Set your traffic management strategy. We recommend choosing the Maximum revenue strategy for your first ad block, which will utilize all available traffic.
Click Create.

Step 3. Placing ad blocks in apps

After you save your changes, the new block will appear in the mobile RTB block list with a unique ID. The block ID consists of the product ID (R-M), mobile platform ID (page_id), and the block index number.

Copy the block ID and follow the instructions to enable ads in the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK for iOS or Android.

Attention. The ad will appear on your platform once it passes moderation.

What should I do next?

Once ad impressions start, you will be able to view the statistics for your ad block. To increase the revenue you receive from ads on your platform, try experimenting with various ad block settings and see which configurations work best for you.
