Placing ads on your site is possible through third-party services like Google AdSense, though Squarespace doesn't have built-in advertising integration. Here's how to properly add ads to your site:

Using Google AdSense

1. Automatic Ad Placement:

• Add the activation code from AdSense to your site-wide code injection [Header] field
• Google's machine learning determines optimal ad placement

2. Manual Ad Placement:

• Remove any activation code from site-wide injection
• Disable auto ads in your AdSense account
• Create an ad unit and copy its code
• Insert the code using Squarespace code blocks
• Place code blocks in desired locations

Important Considerations:

• Ensure ads comply with Terms of Service
• All ad content must follow Prohibited Content Policy
• Ads.txt file implementation requires custom modifications
• Ad functionality may vary across different templates
• Mobile responsiveness should be tested thoroughly

Technical Support:

• Code-based customizations are not supported by Squarespace
• Contact Google AdSense directly for ad-specific support
• Consider hiring a Squarespace Expert for custom implementation

Best Practices:

• Test ads across different devices
• Monitor ad performance regularly
• Ensure ads don't compromise user experience
• Follow Google AdSense policies
• Keep backup copies of all custom code

Remember that while ads can generate revenue, they should be implemented thoughtfully to maintain site quality and user experience.
