Termination of Dable service

  • Registering contents unsuitable for partnership: If contents that are unsuitable for partnership with Dable is registered after account application has been approved, ad service may be terminated without prior notice.
  • Adding a widget script for an approved website to an unapproved website: Adding a widget code for an approved website to an unapproved website may result in termination of services for both the unapproved and the approved website.
  • Excessive invalid revenue ratio: Dable has an “invalid click” policy to protect the interests of the media company and the advertiser.
    An “invalid click” is a click that aims to induce charge to an advertiser or increase a media company’s revenue, either intentionally or unintentionally.
    Dable has developed an independent technology to analyze all ad clicks to recognize all intentional or unintentional click activities that result in the advertiser being charged.

The following items detail the conditions of an invalid click and such activities may become grounds for termination of service.

  1. Cases where the administrator directly clicks an ad displayed on a website
  2. Cases where the same user clicks on an ad repeatedly within a designated period
  3. Repetitive ad clicks or impressions by more than one user
  4. Cases where a website directly induces a visitor to click on an ad
    (For example, statements asking users to click on an ad)
  5. Cases using an external software (automatic click tools, traffic source, bots, and other fraudulent software) to create clicks.

The above is not an all-inclusive list of cases considered as invalid clicks. Invalid clicks by a media company may cause trust issues, resulting in lowered CPC rates. Please take care to ensure that not even a single invalid click occurs.

Notification of site termination

If terminating the operation of a website currently using Dable services, please inform us of the termination via email.

Adjusting number of widgets

Adjusting number of widgets

Too many widgets on a single page has two adverse effects. It interferes with a user’s content consumption and has a negative effect on individual widget outcome.

Interfering with a user’s content consumption

First, interfering with a user’s content consumption leads to a worse user experience. This naturally results in lower return visit rates and decreased sales. 

Negative effect on individual widget performance

Indiscrete display of widgets increases the possibility of displaying the same recommendation items and ads. Displaying identical items brings about lowered CTR for individual widgets and can ultimately lead to decreased sales.


Dable recommends a maximum of 5 widgets in a single page. Please note more than 6 widgets in a single page is prohibited by Dable policy.

Widget optimization

Widget optimization

1. Article_bottom widget

A widget that is most effective when placed at the end of a content, or in the bottom section of a content.
As contents that target the interests of a visitor are recommended while at the same time providing ads that is related to the body of the contents, the bottom section is the best location for maximizing ad revenue.
Please take care of the location as adding this widget to the top section may have an adverse effect on the purpose of the visitor and result in an early exit.

2. Sidebar widget

A widget that is optimized for side areas (left and right of the body). You can use this widget in addition to the bottom section widget to increase ad revenue. If you are using a theme among CMS that do not provide side areas, left or right widgets may not show..

3. Secret widget

A secret widget is shown when a visitor who has consumed a content up to the mid- or bottom sections scroll back up to the top.
The widget is hidden when first landing on the page and is only displayed when a visitor has consumed the content to a certain point then scroll back up, and is best located immediately before or after the content title.
It can be used simultaneously with the bottom section widget to serve both a visitor who has read the entirety of the content or a visitor who scroll back up after reading a content halfway through.


4. In-article widget

이As its name implies, this widget is displayed in the midst of the body.
It can be difficult to cater to visitors who close the window after reading a content halfway through using the bottom section widget or the secret widget.
By using the in-article widget, recommended contents and native ads are displayed together in the middle of a content to entice a visitor to a different content or click on an ad.


5.  Infinite feed widget or Full-width widget

Infinite feed widget and bottom section full widget is best used at the very bottom section of a websites, generally a location that is difficult to generate revenue.

[2] A Full-width widget is a widget developed for the bottom-most section as with the infinite feed widget, and is designed to occupy 100% of a website’s horizontal area. With an eye-catching look designed to attract visitors, it has an UI layout to give contents a rich feeling,
