Stack for Adsense and Bannerzest

photon

Looking for Stacks solution to ensure the likes of Google Adsense and Bannerzest can be used together on a RW page for advertising, with their fixed width requirements
Know that the Stack's fluid width and Block's fixed width comparison, with text and graphics, have been previously discussed on the forum.
However Stacks has advanced since then with an increasing numbers of stacks available to users, that provide more opportunity with page content and social media - compared to Blocks static content and being a plugin.
Is there any Stack solution for Google Adsense and Bannerzest available, that guarantees their fixed-width advertising requirements within the page content?
Realise the sidebar is a fixed-width ad option but also want to use the page content area for advertising along with editorial.
Blocks allowed for this but now want to use Stacks and its advantages for site content.
Ideally the perfect RW site world would be to have a Blocks content page and drop in a stack.
Logical progression with RW layout and content, using Mac drag and drop, I would have thought.

Hi Photon,

BannerZest banners do not require a fixed width container to put them in. All my BannerZests are in fluid pages (mostly Styled Text) and work fine. It takes what it wants, and the rest of the page follows. If you're concerned about using a BannerZest with text, then drop the code into a Text Stack. Highlight the code, apply 'Ignore Formatting' then apply 'Align Image Right' (or left) from the HTML menu. Should work a treat, and the text will wrap around it fine.

I don't use Adsense, but I'm sure it can be treated the same.

with best regards,
Karn.

Thanks Karn,

Testing current client Blocks sites, using Stacks as alternative.
Ad agencies advertisements require fixed px width/depth as per industry standards.
While its easy to manage site page editorial/advertising content with Blocks, the Stacks fluid width becomes an issue when incorporating multiple editorial stacks, along with a fixed advertising standard size on the page content.
Maybe this is beyond RW and Stacks for page content.

Obvious solution would be to drag and drop any stack into any Blocks container.
If RMS and YourHead could sort this, then becomes a winner for all - especially for RW users with site design and ease of use for displaying editorial and advertising content.
Not to mention making $s from advertising on their sites.

Hi Photon,

Wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem?

I'm new to Rapidweaver and am just experimenting with using it to create small content rich sites, which combine this text and graphic content with a few affiliate adverts, and maybe some Adsense later on.

I love the freedom and ease that Stacks brings to website creation, and so would like to stick with using this where ever possible in the design. The fluid layout of Stacks is perfect for the main site content; but for the affiliate ads I need to use fixed widths, as required to conform with the affiliate networks requirements. In addition I quite often come across other design elements within the page that would work better with a fixed width. I too can't find a way to do this within a stacks page.

I have very limited coding ability so don't have the technical know-how to adapt the code to produce fixed widths. So I'm keen to hear if you (or anyone else) have found any simple answer to the problem.

Perhaps there is already a stack out there that does this? If not, maybe one of the clever Stack developers could create some 'fixed width' stacks? Is this even possible, given that the whole concept behind Stacks is it's fluid design? It would be a very useful addition to the versatility of Stacks if it can be done, especially for the technically challenged RW user like me.

I'm also looking for a way to add rotating advertising with embedded links. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi I think there is a div stack can't quite remember the name it's probably div stack! You can assign a fixed width etc for the stack, I think that would sort out your adsense question. Do a search for it, I'm sure you will find it.

Thanks chambers
Not sure if this is the one you mean, but got this stack from Seeinvisible when it was announced and have been testing it out.
Seems to do the trick and also great combination with the new FreeStack theme.
