| 87 | == Displaying Ads == |
| 88 | |
| 89 | You can use functions and shortcodes to display ads and ad groups. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | The integers in this example are the IDs of the elements. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | Use these shortcode to insert an ad or ad group into your post/page. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | `[the_ad id="24"]` |
| 96 | `[the_ad_group id="5"]` |
| 97 | |
| 98 | Use these functions to insert an ad or ad group into your template file. |
| 99 | |
| 100 | `<?php the_ad(24); ?>` |
| 101 | `<?php the_ad_group(5); ?>` |
| 102 | |
| 103 | In addition to directly displaying ads and groups you can define ad placements and assign either an ad or group to them. |
| 104 | |
| 105 | `[the_ad_placement id="header-left"]` |
| 106 | `<?php the_ad_placement('header-left'); ?>` |
| 107 | |
| 108 | == Frequently Asked Questions == |
| 109 | |
| 110 | = Is there a revenue share? = |
| 111 | |
| 112 | There is no revenue share. Advanced Ads doesn’t alter your ad codes in a way that you earn less than you would directly including the ad code in your template. |
| 113 | |

| 116 | 1. Create an ad almost like you would create an article or page. |
