When using Google Ad Manager (GAM) or PubGuru Header Bidding onpage codes, deploy your <head> and <body> tags as you normally would. To enable Traffic Cop on “measure” mode, your MonetizeMore Account Manager will also provide you with an additional script which you need to deploy before the closing </body> tag of your site HTML.

If using WordPress, you can deploy the script using any of these plugins:
