What are Anchor Overlay Ads?
The anchor overlay ad format is an ad unit that sits at the bottom of the screen. As a user scrolls down the page, the ad remains "anchored" to the bottom of the screen. Since the ad sticks on the page and is always in users’ view, this ad format usually monetizes far better than standard ads, as much as +400%



Installing Shareaholic on Blogger / Blogspot
The following tutorial will help you install Shareaholic on Blogger:

If you have not already signed up for Shareaholic, check out the Getting Started with Shareaholic Guide before following the instructions below.
Step 1: Install Shareaholic on Blogger
In order to install Shareaholic, you'll need to paste your Shareaholic code in two places: in the head of your blog (which initializes the page with Shareaholic engines) and in the post or layout where you want the buttons to appear. These instructions will guide you through installing Shareaholic Setup Code.
1. Paste your Shareaholic Setup Code into your Blogger site
- Go to blogger.com and make sure you are logged in to your Blogger account
- Click Template on the lower left hand column
- Click the Edit HTML button
- Use CTRL-F or Command-F and search for: “/head”
- Click the line above the </head> tag, hit Enter to create a new line and paste the Shareaholic Setup Code
- Click Save Template
Step 2: Add Shareaholic to your posts
Now that you have the set-up code installed and verified your site, you can add the Shareaholic Share Buttons and Related Content to your blog.
Share Buttons
1. Set-up the Share Buttons
These instructions are for adding the buttons to the TOP of your posts. Instructions for adding buttons to the bottom of your posts are in More Options below.
- Go to to https://www.shareaholic.com/publisher_tools
- Click Add App Location and select Share Buttons
- Edit the look and feel of the app and click Save Settings.
- You should now see the app you just set up under Locations

- Click on the </> option and copy that code to your clipboard.
2. Add the Shareaholic button code to your Blogger post page
- Head back to blogger.com and click Template on the lower left hand column
- Click the Edit HTML button under your Live on Blog template
- This time, use CTRL-F or Command-F and search for "post-header" then look for the following line of code: <div class='post-header-line-1'>. Make sure you are clicking inside the HTML template before trying to search, or else you will not be able to find it. Your search bar should look like the one in the screenshot below.
- Note: Depending on your site's theme, you may have multiple "post-header" located in your template. Make sure you are inserting the snippet code after the correct <div class='post-header-line-1'>, or else share buttons will not appear. The correct line should be the one furthest down the template.
- Press enter to create a new line and paste the button code, which should look something like:
<div class='shareaholic-canvas' data-app='recommendations' data-app-id='(your id)'></div>
- Note: if you're unable to see your buttons appear, make sure that there isn't another "post-header-line-1" in your template that you missed. While you should only have to place it once in the last location of the tag, there should not be any ill effects from placing the code below all the post-header-line-1 tags, so don't worry about repeating yourself!
- Click Save Changes and you're done!
