Targeting Ads on OneCMS Apps with Google Ad Manager
Below are the targeting parameters for running advertisements on OneCMS apps using Google Ad Manager:
key-values are parameters sent with the Ad request and lets you define custom targeting. When an ad request comes in from one of your webpages or an app that has key-values in its ad tags, line items that target those key-values are eligible to serve for that ad request. See this link for more information
All view values are predefined (ie: view=home, view=post, view=gallery, etc…). All other values are dynamic (ie. they are dependent on what content you are targeting, example: categories=news,sports). Please see targeting examples at the bottom of this page.

Some Examples:
Home screen 320 X 50 (between categories)
- If I wanted to target just the homepage with an ad but am not concerned about the placement, I can target view=home
- If I want to target the first position, I can target pos=1 (view not required because pos is only used on the home screen)
News Posts Detail Screen 320X50
- If I want to target all posts pages, I can target view=post
- If I only want to target specific categories of posts (lets say news and sports categories), I can target categories=news,sports (view=post is not required since the categories will automatically target the posts)
Gallery Detail Screen and Slideshow (320X 50)
- If I want to target all galleries, I can target view=gallery
- If I want to target a specific gallery, I can target the gallery title slug or the gallery id. title=taco-friday-photoshops or id=34566
Podcast Listing Screen / Podcast Detail Screen / Podcast Episode Detail Screen (320X50)
- If I want to target all podcasts, I can target view=podcast
- If I want to target a specific podcast, I can target the podcast title slug or the podcast id. title=wabc-early-news or id=98745
Expanded Player Screen (300×250)
- To target all streams and podcasts you would use view=stream and view = podcast
- To target a specific stream or podcast, you would target the stream or podcast slug. title=wabc-stream or title=my-podcast-name
