Optimize Ads Placements

If you have ads on your site you want them to be completely visible to your visitors. Depending on the user’s browser, OS and screen resolution, many ads get cut-off and remain below the ‘fold’ (the visible portion of the screen without scrolling). Obviously, no one is going to scroll down just to see an ad, which is why FoldSpy analyzes your site as your visitors see it. Data is collected live and displayed over an interactive overlay. This allows website owners to better place ads so that they are always above the fold. FoldSpy can be installed freely on any site using the FoldSpy hash keyword. Once in place you’ll be able to view your site at various screen sizes and manipulate it as you see fit. The free version using stats collected from all FoldSpy users. For $6 a month FoldSpy will collect data only from your site.
