Managing sites
For reporting and setup purposes, the Yandex Advertising Network defines a site as the group of all ad placements across a single resource, including mirror domains, mobile and desktop versions, and AMP pages.
Our network serves targeted ads across sites, which can match the content of the page the user is viewing or adapt to user interests via behavioral targeting. Ads appear alongside your main content, either as a distinct ad unit or inside a widget with recommended articles.
Add a site
To add a new site, go to Websites Ads → Sites and click Add site. Select a domain from the list and enter the site name. Once saved, the site is assigned a unique identifier (site ID) and appears in the list with one of these statuses:
- New: Used for sites that you add after registration.
- Under moderation: Used for sites that have been submitted for moderation.
- Testing: Used for sites that have passed moderation.
The site status will automatically update to Active shortly.
Alert
You can create and place ad units immediately after creating your site. However, you can only receive revenue for impressions if the site's status is Active.
To manage your ad settings more effectively, you can add multiple sites under a single domain in the Yandex Advertising Network. For instance, you create two sites for example.com. You can delegate management of the first site to your assistant, who will create and configure ad units for the news section, while keeping the second site under your own control to configure ads for the rest of the domain's sections.
Note
You can add up to 200 active ad units to a single site. You should move unused ad units to the archive.
If you want to add more than 200 ad units to your site, contact support.
Site settings
To change the site settings, click Edit next to the site you want to edit. Otherwise, click View to open its settings page and go to Settings.
The following settings can be configured for the whole site (but not for individual ad units):
- Add mirrors to add copies of your site where you also want to display Yandex ad units.
- Block unwanted ads by domain, Bundle ID, category, or brand.
- Add a Yandex Metrica tag with full functionality and link it to the site.
- Additional settings: Behavioral targeting and image display.
You can also specify your site's language. The language is selected for elements of ads and ad units, but doesn't impact the content of the ads. Ad impressions are selected for each user on an individual basis. You can select between Russian (ru), Ukrainian (uk), English (en), Belarusian (by), Kazakh (kz), Turkish (tr), and Tatar (tt) languages.
Yandex Metrica reports
When a platform is saved in the interface, Yandex Metrica automatically creates a new tag within 30 minutes to evaluate site performance. To learn more, see How to enable reports.
After you place ad units on site pages, Yandex Metrica starts collecting traffic statistics for these pages. This data is included in reports: in the line with the site, click More → Metrica reports. To learn more, see Reports for evaluating the effectiveness of monetization.
Stopping and archiving a site
To stop displaying all ads on a particular site, click Stop impressions. To resume impressions, click Start impressions.
A site that doesn't have statistics for impressions and clicks can be archived. To do this, click Archive. If the site has accumulated statistical data, first stop ad impressions on this site and then add it to the archive.
You can restore archived sites on the Archive tab.

I don't like the ads that were selected for my site
To disable impressions for ads that link to certain domains, you can block unwanted ads.
If you feel that the text or images displayed in ads violate the Yandex ad placement rules or Russian law, or have a negative impact on your traffic and user activity, please contact us via the feedback form. In your message, indicate the link that the ad directs to (a link like http://yabs.yandex.ru/count/... or http://an.yandex.ru/count/...) and send a screenshot of the page.
Ads on the site do not match the site's theme
The Yandex Advertising Network may display ads based on user interests. This technology helps users see ads that most interest them, helps advertisers better target their intended audience, and helps partners earn more money.
