When you book an ad on IHS, you are choosing a type of ad space as opposed to purchasing a specific spot on a specific page. This is because our ads are served randomly every time a visitor moves to a new page. Premium ads are served from one “pool” of ads while standard come from a different “pool.” Premium ads will be higher up on the page than standard ads, and on mobile devices they will be larger than standard ads. You can see an illustration of this below.

Please remember, our ads are dynamic! This means they are different every time a new page is loaded, and every visitor has a different ad experience. We get several frantic emails each month to tell us an ad is not running. Not every ad shows up every time you load the page. Try visiting a few different pages and we are almost certain your ad will be there. Due to website caching, simply refreshing the page you are on will not necessarily make the ads change for you, so do try loading new pages.

If you still can’t find it after visiting several pages, please let us know so we can confirm for you that it is in the ad pool.
