Running ads in a staging or development environment

Before we can serve ads on your live site, we will need to first have you test our tags in a staging environment to ensure everything is correctly configured.

After the initial testing is complete and you are authorised to run ads across your site, it is very important to remove our tags from the test or staging pages. Many of our partners see traffic from staging and development environments as sources of invalid traffic (IVT) and we need to ensure that your site is not flagged as such.


Test and staging pages often have 'test,' 'design', 'staging' or a similar element in their URL:

dev.example.net
design.example.net
test.example.net
stage.example.net
