If you want to set up multiple advertising banners, enter the position of each advert separated by a comma. Please don't add a comma to the last number. Eg, If you had 4 adverts and you wanted them to be spaced evenly in the search results of the page, you could enter 3,6,9,12. The first advert would then appear in the 3rd position, the second advert in the the position, etc. Please bear in mind that your website will probably show 12 properties by default on the results pages, so bear this in mind when entering the position of your adverts (ie: don’t enter a number higher than 12 in the Results Banner Position field if you currently only have 12 listings on each page as the advert won’t display ). If you want the number of properties displaying on the page to be increased to accommodate more adverts, please contact your Account Manager and we can change this for you
