About Directorist Ads Manager
For the directory owner with traffic who wants to earn from it with ads
A directory with traffic that earns nothing from the space on its pages leaves money on the table, but filling the listings with banners scares off visitors who came to find a business. Directorist Ads Manager helps you find that balance: you choose where, to whom and for how long each ad is shown.
It suits anyone already using Directorist who wants to monetize with AdSense, Facebook Pixel, their own banners or custom code. It is not for anyone who does not yet have the Directorist plugin, because it is an add-on that does not work on its own. Nor is it for anyone who wants advertisers to book and pay for their space by themselves: here you are the one who creates and places the ads from the settings panel.
AdSense, Pixel, a linked image or your own HTML/JS
You can create, manage and insert an unlimited number of ads of these types:
- Google AdSense
- Facebook Pixel
- Image with a custom link, with adjustable height and width
- Custom HTML/JS, for any script you want to inject
HTML/JS opens the most doors: you can paste the code of whichever network or sponsor you work with. That said, whatever you paste is on you: a heavy script slows down the page where you put it.
Before the header, between rows or in the dashboard: you decide the spot
The key to Directorist Ads Manager is placement. You can put ads before or after the header, in the footer, next to the filters, in the search bar or between listing rows. And you can assign the position by page:
- All listings and single listing
- All locations and single location
- All categories and single category
- Search results and author profile
- Add listing and user dashboard
Two settings make the difference in a directory: repeating the ad after a set number of rows so it is not an isolated block, and showing it only to logged-in users or to everyone. If paying clients see your user dashboard, you may not want ads there; here you can decide that.
Ads with an expiry date and a plan B
Each ad can have a duration set in days. When it ends, you choose what happens: for example, showing a replacement image you have set. It is useful if you sell spaces by period (a sponsor for one month) and you do not want an empty gap or to remember to remove it by hand.
Full-row view only for now
Ads are shown in full-row view. The grid view is listed as coming soon, so if your directory shows listings in a grid, check in the demo how a full-width ad looks between them before planning your design. If you need click or performance reports, you will have to rely on the ad network you use.
Frequently asked questions from directory monetizers
Does it work without Directorist? No. It is an extension and requires the Directorist plugin to be installed.
Can I limit the number of ads? You can create as many as you want, and control their frequency by repeating them after a set number of rows.
Can I hide ads from non-registered visitors, or the other way around? Yes: each ad is configured for logged-in users or for everyone.
Can I use my own banner without any ad network? Yes, by uploading an image with a custom link and adjusting its size, or with your own HTML/JS.
