Description
The Listdom Ads Addon allows you to insert advertising content into your directory’s listing pages without any coding. Whether you want to monetize using Google AdSense, display affiliate banners, or insert promotional content, this addon lets you place global or per-listing ads directly inside your Listdom Single Listing pages.
After activating the addon, two ad placement options are available:
- Global Ad: Enter your ad code, HTML, or shortcode in Listdom Settings Addons Ads Addon. This content will be displayed on all listings by default.
- Listing-Specific Ad: On each Add/Edit Listing screen (in both backend and frontend dashboard), you’ll see an ad input field that overrides the global ad for that particular listing.
The ads are displayed in a predefined section of the single listing layout, making them blend in cleanly with your design. You don’t need to edit any template files or write code — just paste your content, and it will appear where it should.
Key Features:
- Display ads on listing detail pages to generate revenue
- Use Google AdSense, affiliate banners, HTML code, or shortcodes
- Global ads show across all listings with a single configuration
- Per-listing ads override the global ad for custom sponsorships
- Supports frontend dashboard and display option control (Listdom Pro Addon)
- Seamlessly integrates with your site design
