Enable Header Bidding bids on unit by calling header bidding first before the ad unit

This post was most recently updated on March 2nd, 2023

Your ad unit is being called before Header Bidding could take place. Your codes need to be reviewed to make sure you call Header Bidding first, before loading your ad units.

Troubleshooting

Step 1: Fix all other errors in PubGuru Ad Inspector (PGAI) and re-test

Step 2: Review the codes deployed in your source code. Revisit the instructions provided to you by your Monetizemore Account Manager.

Step 3: If you have old codes still on the site, have them removed

Step 4: A normal ON-page implementation looks something like this:

<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
// this is the code you'll need to dump on your page to integrate M2D header
// bidding.  when you deploy on production, remove all comments, and feel free
// to minify.  to deploy, you'll need to (1) decide whether you're using M2's mobile
// vs desktop conditional logic and if you aren't, remove the "mobile detection"
// code block below, (2) set the path to your M2D HB config as provided by your
// M2 account rep, (3) make sure you update your DFP admap (the defineSlot)
// code block
window.googletag = window.googletag || {};
googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || [];
window.m2hb = window.m2hb || {};
m2hb.que = m2hb.que || [];
m2hb.ssl = 'https:' == document.location.protocol;
window.M2_TIMEOUT = 1000;
m2hb.maxRetries = 20;
m2hb.retries = 0;
m2hb.loadJS = function(src, async) {
  m2hb.loadedJS = m2hb.loadedJS || [];
  m2hb.loadedJS.push(src);

    script.async = async || true;
    script.type = "text/javascript";
    script.src = (m2hb.ssl ? 'https:' : 'http:') + src;
    var target = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
    target.insertBefore(script, target.firstChild);
  })();
