# Using ad widgets

 * The Ad widgets specify a “Banner URL” and a “Target URL” in both sizes 300X 250
   and 125 X 125. I’m not sure what this means since my advertisers provide links
   in HTML or Javascript. Do I have to fill in both of these areas or just one or
   the other?

   Destro Pro.
 * Anyone who’s done this, I could use some pointers!

 * Ad sizes come in standard sizes such as 125×125, 300×250, etc. So, most of the
   ad injecting widgets are also designed to accommodate such ads (mostly corresponding
   to Google AdSense ads). You have to specify ad sizes acceptable to you in your
   advertising pages. If not nonstandard sizes will also come from advertisers.

 * I get that part. What I don’t understand is the “target url” section of the widget
   and the “banner url” section. Do I need to put something in BOTH of these areas?
   I’ve never seen this before.

 * It’s in wordpress on my dashboard under 300 X 250 and 125 X 125 ads widgets. 
   My Theme is Theme Alley Destro Pro.

 * Is the widget built in your theme or is it downloaded from some other sources?

 * Sort of both. It’s built into my theme, but if you look at the Dashboard for 
   WordPress under widgets it’s the 300 X 250 and 125 X 125 AD widget.

 * If the widget is hard-coded into the theme, you may need to contact the theme’s
   vendor as we do not support commercial themes, paid or free. Alternatively, you
   may use a text widget or use a plugin to place the ads.

 * That’s what I’ve been doing. There are a few plugins that just don’t work and
   I’m eliminating them as fast as I can!
