Ezoic Ad Placements

How TriposRai.com implements Step 3 of the EzoicAds onboarding guide.

Overview

With Step 1 (site scripts) and Step 2 (ads.txt) complete, Step 3 is mapping your Ezoic placement IDs to real estate on the site. Placement IDs are created in the Ezoic dashboard under Monetization → Ad Tester → Placements. Once you create them there, copy the numeric IDs into the codebase.

Placement Configuration

Every placement lives in src/config.ts for easy updates:

export const EZOIC_PLACEMENTS = {
  homepageTop: 0,
  homepageMid: 0,
  postHeader: 115,
  postFooter: 0,
};

• Set an ID to 0 or null to disable that slot.
• postHeader already points to placement 115 (Ezoic’s incontent_5), which renders beneath each article title.
• Replace the placeholder numbers with your actual IDs as soon as they’re available.

Component Usage

EzoicAdSlot.astro outputs Ezoic’s required markup and hands the ID to our helper that queues ezstandalone.showAds() automatically:

{EZOIC_PLACEMENTS.postHeader ? (
  <EzoicAdSlot
    slotId={EZOIC_PLACEMENTS.postHeader}
    label="Article inline ad"
  />
) : null}

Because the component checks the ID, you can safely keep the tag in templates even when a slot is disabled in configuration.

Current Placement Map

• Article header (postHeader)
• Additional homepage slots (homepageTop, homepageMid) are ready for use as soon as you assign real IDs.

Verification Checklist

• IDs in EZOIC_PLACEMENTS match the values in the Ezoic dashboard.
• Page source shows <div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-XXX"> elements for enabled slots.
• Browser console has no Ezoic errors and ads begin filling once the domain is approved.
