A five-site network

Five Sites.
One Ad Configuration.

Each site stands on its own — its own name, palette and audience — but they share one stylesheet, one ad manager and one set of cross-links. Fill in your Adsterra keys once in assets/adsterra.js and every placement across all five goes live.

Turning the ads on

Every page already has its ad slots in place. Until you add your keys they render as dashed grey placeholders so you can see the layout — no broken frames, no console errors.

1. Add your zones

Open assets/adsterra.js, paste the key Adsterra gives you for each banner size, plus the Social Bar, Popunder and Native Banner script URLs.

2. Flip the switch

Set ENABLED: true at the top of the same file. That one change activates every slot on all five sites at once.

3. Placements per page

A 728×90 above the fold, a sticky 300×250 rail on desktop, a 468×60 mid-content and a native block near the footer. Slots below 1100 px hide the rail automatically.

4. Direct links

Any element marked data-direct-link becomes a monetised outbound link once DIRECT_LINK is filled in.

Before you submit to an ad network: point a real domain at these files and let each site build up genuine traffic and a few original pages of its own. Networks review sites for original value, and a thin site with no audience is the usual reason an application is rejected. The wallpaper and recipe sites pull from third-party APIs — keep the author and licence credits that are already rendered on each item.
