White LabelOverviewAs an established ad server since 2013, it's no wonder AdGlare's domains are on many adblock lists. Consequently, ad block users will likely not see your ads. To get around this problem, you can simply serve the ads from a domain that is not on their blacklist.Getting around ad blockersTypically, there are two approached to get around ad blockers: using a subdomain of the main domain, or using burner domains.Subdomains (publishers only)If your website is on publisher.com, you can consider to set up a subdomain on engine.publisher.com and load the ad tags from there. As ad blockers are likely to trust content from a subdomain of the page's main domain, ads can pass through.Burner domainsIf you're an advertiser, you can consider to buy a domain anywhere (they are generally cheap), and use nonsense names like 'letsgotothemoon.com', which is likely not on the ad blocker's blacklist. You can then load ads from engine.letsgotothemoon.com, which won't be blocked.Note this is called a burner domain for a reason: it's only a matter of time before your domain will end up on the blacklist, especially if you're a high-volume advertiser. You can then simply continue this cat & mouse game by using a new burner domain. When this won't workUsing your white label to get around ad blockers only works if no third-party ad server is used to serve the ad. This means that your creative should either be:
Setting up the white labelTo set up the white label, you should have access to the DNS records of the domain you've chosen. Add two CNAME DNS records as follows:
Activating the white labelAllow up to 24 hours for your DNS changes to be propagated throughout the world. Then send an email to your account manager with the domain on which you've set up the white label. It will be activated within 24 hours, even during the weekends.SSL certificatesNote that AdGlare won't provide you with an SSL certificate for the domain you've chosen. Instead, you can upload a wildcard certificate for your domain in your AdGlare portal, including the private key and CA bundle. Without this certificate, your ads can only load on http:// pages.HelpIf you need help setting up your white label, feel free to reach out.
