Can I place ads between posts?
If you are using Advanced Templates for your blog's design, ads can be placed between posts by following the steps in the Knowledge Base article.
Can ads only be displayed on certain pages?
In case you only want to display ads on a specific page, like the front page, you can use the below code:
<div id="displayAdDiv" style="display:none;">
/* Paste in Advertising Code Here */
</div>
<script language="javascript">
var AdDiv = document.getElementById("displayAdDiv");
if ( window.location == "http://example.typepad.com/blog/" )
{
AdDiv.style.display="block";
} else {
AdDiv.style.display="none";
}
</script>
Replace http://example.typepad.com/blog/ with the URL of the page where you want the content to display. Then ad the code to your blog's sidebar using the Embed Your Own HTML module at Design > Content. This trick works for all Pro plans.
