Frequently Asked Questions
What is In-Image Advertising?
In-image advertising is a term used to describe targeted ads overlaid on images.
What is GumGum?
GumGum is the world’s largest in-image ad network reaching more than 65 million unique users worldwide.
Why should I display ads on my images?
The Internet is flush with traditional banner ads and users have become so accustomed to seeing them that they are clicking less often. This translates to less revenue for publishers. In-images ads are a new and exciting way to drive meaningful revenue to your website without compromising your existing inventory!
How does GumGum’s technology work?
A simple one-time, one-line Javascript code install enables us to detect images on your website and match relevant ads to them.
Do you display ads on all images?
We only display ads on full-sized images, defined as images larger than 150 x 150 pixels.
Can I control which images display ads?
Absolutely! You can also prevent ads from showing by including “ggnoads” in the image source URL or div element. Please reference our Ad Suppression Instructions for more information.
Does GumGum conflict with existing ads on my website?
GumGum’s ads work alongside standard ad networks including Google Adsense, Adbrite, Kontera, etc.
Will GumGum ads affect the look of my image?
Not at all! GumGum’s ads are strictly overlays and can be closed out by users at any time. You can crop, edit, and/or stylize your images as desired.
After installing the code ads are not showing up on my website. Why?
• Make sure that the GumGum code is embedded before the closing tag.
• Are the images smaller than 150×150 in size? Ads will only display on images larger than 150×150.
• The z-index for your images may be set higher than our ads. Check to make sure your z-index is less than 10,000.
• Still having problems? Contact us at support@gumgum.com and we’ll be more than happy to help!
Why are the ads not appearing within the images?
There may be a problem with your HTML which can interfere with our ability to position the ads within the images. Please check for errors by entering your page URL here. The most common errors are unclosed HTML elements.
How long does it take for ads to start appearing once I place the embed code on my web page?
Ads will start to populate across the website within 5 minutes.
How soon do I start earning revenue?
You will start earning revenue as soon as ads start displaying. Note however, there will be a short adjustment period while we determine the most relevant and highest-paying ads to display on your website.
Where can I see my earnings?
Daily reporting is available through our Publisher Center. When you register an individual account will be created that will include access to earnings.
How do I get paid?
GumGum pays our publishers within 30 days of the previous month. All payments are sent through Paypal. You can enter your payment information when you register.
