Recommendation widget

By setting up automatic banner substitution in recommendation widget, you can:
  • Display your banners instead of recommendations on the selected positions.
  • Replace all Yandex Advertising Network ads with your own banners if they have a higher CPM.
Restriction. You can only set up a banner for a recommendation widget in campaigns of the Dynamic monetization type without external monetizers.

The substitute banner inherits the CSS styles of the Yandex Advertising Network recommendation widget that's linked to the banner's placement.

Statistics on recommendation widget that's available in the Partner Interface doesn't account for placements via Adfox. You can find statistics on banners placed via Adfox in the Reports section.
