*NEW* TypePad Ad Module for Six Apart Media Ad Tags

New from TypePad - the Six Apart Media Ad Module, making it easier for TypePad bloggers to implement their ad tags on their blogs.  Step by step instructions can be found in our new Publisher Guide. 

Now, instead of creating a TypeList, TypePad bloggers can choose the Ads by Six Apart Media widget straight from the Design tab.  Please note:  this module helps with the implementation of the 160x600, 160x90 and 300x250 only.  You will need to use Advanced Templates to implement a 728x90 or 300x250 between posts.

Please email vip@sixapart.com if you have any questions, or would like us to implement your ad tags on your TypePad blog for you.

Check Out The New Publishers Guide

Six Apart Media has a newly-minted Publisher Guide that we’ve created for members of our network. We’ve organized the content in an effort to simplify the sign-up process and educate bloggers about Six Apart Media. If you are trying to put ads on your site, or wondering how to set your preferences and optimize performance, you can find those answers here:

You can navigate the table of contents on the right-hand sidebar or read through the instructions from start to finish through the printable version. This document will be updated continuously as our program evolves and our bloggers generate new and interesting questions.  Please contact us at VIP@sixapart.com if any aspect of the Publisher Guide is unclear or there is something we haven’t addressed. 

And fans of this blog needn't worry, we'll continue to post here with news and events that relate to our Advertising Program and information that benefits our bloggers.

Our goal is to make it easy for you to make money by placing ads on your blog. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you.
