Step 1: Downloading and Activating The Moneytizer Plugin in WordPress

Your first step is to locate and activate the plugin directly within your WordPress site. 

To securely connect your WordPress site with your Moneytizer account, you'll need a unique identifier: your "My plugin ID." This is found inside your publisher dashboard, known as the Moneybox.



Step 2: Selecting Your Site to Retrieve the ID

Once inside the WordPress section of your Moneybox, you must select the correct website to generate the corresponding unique ID.

At the top of the WordPress section, click on the "Choose site" dropdown menu.


Select the specific domain (e.g., domain1.com) for which you are integrating the plugin.


Step 3: Finalizing the Integration in WordPress

With your ID copied, return to your WordPress dashboard to complete the setup.

Return to your WordPress dashboard.

Navigate to Settings > The Moneytizer.


Locate the field labeled "Moneytizer ID".

Paste the unique plugin ID you copied from your Moneybox into this field.

Click "Save" to finalize the integration.

Exploring The Moneytizer Plugin Features

Once your plugin ID is entered and saved, you'll gain access to a powerful set of features designed to help you manage your ad formats and website compliance efficiently.

Managing Your Ad Formats with "My formats"

This section is where you discover and configure all available advertising formats from The Moneytizer. 

Available Advertising Formats and Configuration Options

In the "My formats" area, you'll see a comprehensive offer of The Moneytizer's formats, each with various placement and optimization options:

      -Automatic Placement: For many formats, you can easily enable "Automatic Placement" by simply clicking a checkbox. This streamlines the process of integrating ads onto your site without manual coding.
      -Manual Placement: For advanced users or specific needs, each format also provides a "Manual Placement" code snippet that you can copy and insert into your theme files.
      -Lazy-loading: Enhance user experience and page load speed by enabling the lazy-loading option for certain formats. This ensures that ads only load when they are about to become visible to the user.
      -Configure Button: Some formats may have a "Configure" button, allowing for further customization specific to that ad type

Configuring Essential Settings with "Plugin settings"

The "Plugin settings" section is vital for ensuring your site's compliance and optimal ad delivery. Here, you can manage your ads.txt file and the Consent Banner (CMP).

Ads.txt File Configuration

The ads.txt file is crucial for preventing ad fraud and ensuring you receive revenue from legitimate ad sources:

-Automatic placement of ads.txt: Check this option to have the plugin automatically manage and place the ads.txt file on your site. This is the easiest way to ensure compliance.
-Download our ads.txt file: If you prefer manual integration or need to add other lines (e.g., from AdSense), you can download the file, make your edits, and upload it to your site's root directory.
-Verify your ads.txt file: Click this button to check if your ads.txt file is correctly implemented and accessible.
-Attention: If you already have AdSense ads, remember to add your AdSense line to the ads.txt file before uploading it manually or ensuring it's included in the automatic generation.
To comply with regulations like the GDPR, it is mandatory to have a consent banner. The Moneytizer plugin integrates the InMobi Consent Manager Platform (CMP) to help you with this:

-Automatic placement of the CMP on your site: Simply check this box to automatically deploy the consent banner across your website.
-You also have the option to manually copy and paste the provided code between the <head> tags of your website for more control.
-After placement, you can click "Verify your consent banner" to ensure it's functioning correctly.


Conclusion

Your Moneytizer WordPress plugin is now fully integrated and configured! By utilizing the "My formats" and "Plugin settings" sections, you can effortlessly manage your ad placements, ensure compliance with privacy regulations through the Consent Banner, and secure your ad inventory with the ads.txt file. This comprehensive setup empowers you to maximize your ad revenue efficiently and effectively.
