Manage Groups

Managing groups is an important part of setting up AdRotate for the first time. But also over time as you add more groups or perhaps remove them.

Groups also makes placing ads on your site easier and more efficient.

You can of course place a single advert in a page. Or on multiple pages. But what if that advert expires after a while? You'll need to edit each and every location that advert is in and replace it with a new one.

This is not efficient.

Instead of putting the advert everywhere one by one it is recommended to place a group instead. That way, when adverts expire all you have to do is edit that one group and the advert in it to resolve the issue. For example by disabling or replacing the advert.

Naming groups

Groups can have a name which helps you manage them. Using distinct names are useful to recognize which location they're at or which advertiser has a campaign in them.

For example; A group for the header can be named something like "Header 728x90". This let's you instantly see what that group is for.

Using descriptive and useful names saves you time.

Group statistics

Each group has a set of statistics. These are the combined statistics of the adverts currently in the group. Only clicks and impressions made through the group are shown here.

Bulk actions

Bulk actions are actions that you can perform on multiple groups at once. Select each applicable group and then the bulk action that you want to run and click the 'Go' button.
