Place a banner
If you just added a banner, Adfox automatically opens the banner placement tab. Here, you can select the placements where you want to serve the banner.
If the placement tab doesn't open automatically, it means that you don't have suitable banner placements on the sites hosting your campaign. Check the campaign placement or add a placement of the appropriate type for your new banner. Then, go back to banner placement.
Adfox shows you only the suitable placement types. By default, they're all selected for placement. Select only the ones that you want and click Change.
Let's say you added a placement for your banner, and it's of a suitable type, but you can't manage banners in the
tab because it's empty. This may happen because you didn't place the campaign on the necessary site, or anywhere at all, or in the section where you added the placement.To fix this, go up a level higher to the
tab and set up the campaign placement there. Then, return to the banner placement.
