NEXD tags are tested and work out of the box with many platforms and publishers, but there may be channel specific changes that one wants to go through. For this, we have provided a clear overview of how NEXD tags work and how can you use them as you wish.
Alright, let's dig in. Often, you will see a NEXD tag like this:
<ins class="adcads"
data-adc-id="wpRZ5PjS7qtz"
data-unit="wpRZ5PjS7qtz"
data-responsive="yes"
data-clickable="yes"
data-has-tablet="yes"
data-click-tracker="https://nexd.com/"
data-width="300"
data-height="250">
<script src="https://media.adcanvas.com/wpRZ5PjS7qtz/adtag.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</ins>
This has all the information for it to fully function in a 300x250. But there are so many extra options to be added so you can customize your usage. These are outlined below.
