»Earning from your very own site

Sorry, you cannot do this because XtGem's Internal PPC Program is suspended due to high levels of fraud.

»External advertising agencies

You can register with other advertising agencies and place your own ads on your pages. Warning! XtGem is in no way responsible for the content fill rate or quality of such advertising nor is Xtgem in any way responsible for any non payment or suspension of your account with external advertising agencies.

»Information on placing your own ads on your XtGem site using a special XtFunction

First off, register an account on the chosen advertiser's site, then include one of these codes, changing site_id (and zone, in case of mojiva publisher_id and adspace_id in case of smaato) with your provided account ID. You can find these parameters either somewhere on their site while logged in or extract them from one of their provided integration codes (PHP, ASP or etc).

»How your ads will appear in XtGem

You can include as many ad service codes as you want in your site, maximum one per network and free ads will be returned after the first non-free ad is returned from the service.
Example
If you put these 3 codes in a page:
<xt:ad type="admob" site="site_id" />
<xt:ad type="buzzcity" site="site_id" />
<xt:ad type="admob" site="site_id" />
If admob doesn't return an ad, nothing will be displayed in the first code instance and buzzcity code will be executed. If admob does return an ad, buzzcity will not be executed. Second admob instance will not be executed either way, as it's a duplicate call. It is also very important to note that you might not see ads on your site at all. This is not XtGem's bug! Either your site has not been accepted by the ad network (you can usually check your site's status on ad network's site) or they do not have any ad inventory with targeting matching your country/browser. Despite that, your site visitors might still be seeing ads. It's best to check ad network's site for stats and see if ads are being delivered to your site. Advertising agencies will also supply code that you can place on your site to display their ads. If offered, use their JavaScript or XHTML alternatives.
