Ad Placements (Banner Inventory Map)

This page lists every placement key your site uses. Use these keys when creating banner packages, rotating ads, or running the banner exchange program.

Keys must match exactly
How to sell this

Each placement is a “slot.” Businesses buy a slot for a time period (weekly/monthly), or earn a slot via Banner Exchange. The rotation engine picks an active banner by placement key.

How to implement

Your pages call get_banner($database, 'placement_key'). This file tells you which keys exist. Add more keys as your site grows.
