Monetization today is no longer about adding more ads — it’s about choosing formats that actually work without hurting user experience.

That’s exactly where Spotlight Bar comes in.

What is Spotlight Bar

Spotlight Bar is a sticky ad format that appears at the top or bottom of the page and remains visible while the user scrolls.

Unlike traditional formats, it doesn’t interrupt the browsing flow — instead, it stays present in a subtle but highly effective way.

For publishers, this means one key thing: maximum visibility without damaging UX

Why Spotlight Bar works for publishers

The value of this format comes from a combination of visibility, stability, and user-friendly behavior.

Continuous monetization

Since the ad stays on screen, every session generates more exposure compared to standard placements.

This increases:

• total clicks
• engagement
• revenue per user

Better user experience

Unlike aggressive formats:

• no popups blocking content
• no forced interactions
• no disruption to the user experience

Users stay longer → more impressions → more revenue

Higher advertiser demand

Advertisers love formats that:

• are always visible
• generate consistent CTR
• work across different verticals

This means: better fill rates and more stable demand for publishers

Works across all traffic types

Spotlight Bar performs well with:

• mobile and desktop traffic
• mainstream audiences
• content-heavy websites

It integrates naturally into almost any website structure.

How to start earning with Spotlight Bar

Getting started is simple and takes just a few steps.

Step 1 — Add your site

Before creating ad zones, you need to verify your website in Clickaine.

You’ll be asked to verify ownership in one of two ways:

• upload a verification file to your domain
• or add a meta tag to your website

Once verified, your site status will change to “Verified”, and you’ll be able to create ad zones.

Step 2 — Create a Spotlight Bar zone

After your site is approved, the next step is to create a zone.

In the “Add Zone” section:

1. Select Spotlight Bar as your format
2. Enter a zone name
3. Choose your category

That’s it — no complicated setup

The system is designed to be as simple as possible, so you can start monetizing immediately.

Why setup is intentionally simple

Many ad platforms overload publishers with settings and complexity.

Clickaine takes a different approach: fast setup → faster monetization

You don’t need:

• complex integrations
• long configuration processes
• technical expertise

Just:

• add site
• verify
• create zone

Best practices to maximize revenue

Even though setup is simple, a few strategic decisions can significantly impact performance.

Placement matters

Top or bottom positioning can affect CTR depending on your audience behavior.

Match category correctly

Choosing the right category helps:

• improve ad relevance
• increase fill rate
• boost earnings

Monitor performance

Use dashboard stats to:

• track engagement
• identify high-performing traffic
