Publisher Setup

If you want to start displaying ads on your website, you should start by contacting us at publishers@quakerads.com. We need information on the visitors to your site so we can give that to potential advertisers and so we know how many ads we can sell. There are two services we use, Google Analytics and Quantcast. Both provide you with little snippets of code to paste into your website design. It’s probably easiest to add them at the same time.

Google Analytics:

Many web publishers already use Google Analytics. If not, you probably should: it’s a powerful and free service. Sign up at google.com/analytics and follow the process there.

When the site is ready, please share your data with the Quaker Ad Network. To do this, go to Analytic’s website profile page and click the “Edit” link on the website you’ve added. This takes you to the “Profiles Settings” page. At the bottom you’ll see a section called “Users with Access to Profile”. Click the “Add User+” link and add martinjkelley@gmail.com to “View Reports Only.”

Quantcast:

This is a free web service for sites that sell advertising. Quantcast will verify your numbers–Page Views, Visitors–and display them publicly so that potential advertisers can be assured of your traffic. Quantcast also uses algorithms to determine audience demographics–also something that is useful to share with potential advertisers. Sign up at quantcast.com and follow the installation instructions.

When you set up your account, please make sure that your visitor information is accessible to the public (QuakerAds will be linking to your Quantcast profile). On your account set-up page, make sure that all of the options under the middle column (“Control how your profile is seen by the public”) are checked. You should also make sure that “Accepts Ads” (left column) is checked. If you know the ad sizes you want to have on QuakerAds, please check the appropriate boxes on the right column (we offer Rectangle 180×150, Banner Leaderboard 728×90 and Wide Skyscraper 160×600).
