Whether you opt for Traffic Cop to run on “measure only” mode or “measure & block” mode, implementation is the same either way.
How to get set up
Step 1: Remove any old ad tags deployed on the site, like GAM codes or hardcoded AdSense or Ad Exchange
Step 2: If using WordPress, you can deploy the new <head> tag using any of these plugins:
Advanced Ads
Click Advanced Ads > Ads > New Ad
Give it a title or name. Something that would allow you to easily identify this ad (e.g. Head – All Pages)
Ad type: Plain Text and Code
Paste the <head> code in the space provided under Ad Parameters
Set Display and Visitor condition as needed
Click Publish
Select Head placement
In case you have separate Header tags for different sections of your site, follow this tutorial
Ad Inserter
How to set up a test page:

Click (Ad Inserter General Settings)
Click the Header tab
Paste the <head> code in the space provided
Click to enable

Step 3: If using WordPress, you can deploy the <body> tags using any of these plugins:
Advanced Ads
Click Advanced Ads > Groups & Rotation > Add New Group
Give it a name & save
Edit the newly created group and set to Ordered Ads & select the number of ads you want to display per page
Click Update Groups
Click Advanced Ads > Ads > New Ad
Give it a title or name. Something that would allow you to easily identify this ad (e.g. ad_top_sidebar)
Ad type: Plain Text and Code
Paste the <body> tag in the space provided under Ad Parameters
Set Display and Visitor condition as needed
Select Group
Click Publish
Select the placement or spot where you’d like it to show up
Repeat steps for the next <body> tag you need to deploy.
If the ad is intended for the sidebar, click Appearance > Widgets
Drag Advanced Ads into position and select which ad you’d like to show on the spot selected, then click Save

Ad Inserter
Click Settings > Ad Inserter
Use a new ad block and paste the <body> tag provided to you.
Specify which page categories you’d like it to show up and which spot on the page
Repeat steps for the next <body> tag you need to deploy.
If the ad is intended for the sidebar, specify which page categories this ad will serve but keep Insertion: Disabled
Then, go to Appearance > Widgets
Drag Ad Inserter into position and select which block you’d like to show on the spot selected, then click Save.
