When logged in and on the Active Ads page, click on the "version" link in the row of the ad you want to revise. Now click on the "Edit" link in the column of the ad version you'd like to edit. (Edit allows you to make minor changes to the current ad version. Clone allows you to create a new ad version, using materials from the current ad version.
Add new version allows you to create a completely new ad version starting from scratch.) After making edits to the ad, click the "Save Version" button at the bottom of the page to preview your ad version. If you agree with your changes, click the "Add Version" button, which will take you back to your main versions page. For more details on adding multiple creatives to your ad please click here

It can take up to 20 minutes before your revision appears
on the blogs. Please be sure to refresh your page for the blog you're viewing the ad on, to make sure you clear your cache and are able to see the new version. If you think you have been waiting for too long now
please get in touch via http://web.blogads.com/ba_contact_us and we'll investigate.

By default, the ads are reshuffled each time a viewer downloads the blog: each ad appears each time, but their order is randomly determined. Bloggers, however, can override this random order and specify positions for each ad within the adstrip.

The Shopping Cart is a place to put all the ads that you've not yet made a payment for, or want to save for later. To place an ad in the Shopping Cart, click the "Save to shopping cart" button on the "Preview" page of the ad creation process. Once the ad is in the Shopping Cart, you'll be able to either select "Buy now," "Save for later," or "Delete." You're also able to edit the ad creative in the Shopping Cart by clicking the "Edit" or "Versions" link in the row of the ad. It is also possible to remove blogs from your ad buy when it's saved in the shopping cart by using the edit function. You will see a button called 'Remove blogs' that will allow you to do this. Use the "Proceed" button to confirm your selection. If you have multiple ads in your shopping cart, you can pay for them all at once by selecting "Buy now" next to each ad and then clicking "Proceed" at the bottom of the page.

This means that the blogger has put the ad on hold for some
reason. This stops the clock from ticking, so your ad will still appear
for the same amount of time it was purchased for, once it's re-started. Feel free to send a polite note to the
blogger to find out the specifics of the deferral or drop us a note
via http://web.blogads.com/ba_contact_us
and we will try to help.

Most site designers try to serve 97% of the people 99% of the time. Bloggers want their sites to look nice, so if your ad looks bad, please drop them and us an e-mail. Since bloggers determine the formatting of their adstrips (including font, color, and alignment), ads may look slightly different across different blogs.

Yes, if your ad is running in a nonexclusive adstrip. (In finite adstrips, which can hold a fixed number of ads, someone may have jumped the queue ahead of you.) You can only renew an ad that is currently running. When renewing an ad you cannot specify a run after date: it will begin running immediately after its current term expires. Click here for an explanation of the differences between renewing and replicating an ad.
[+]
The renew ad feature is used when you want to continue running one of your current ads that is about to expire. This allows the ad to continue running without interruption.
The replicate ad feature is used when you want to run one of your past ads (expired ads) again. This saves you time with the ad creation process as you do not need to add in the image and text again.
[+]
If the tracer pixel tag was global for all the adstrips in the campaign, then it will be saved. If there were different tracer pixel url's for each adstrip in the campaign, they will not be saved and will need to be inputted again during the renew ad process.

You can renew active ads by clicking on the renew link in the row of the ad. You'll be able to specify whether you want to renew on all blogs in the original run, or only a few of them. When renewing an ad you cannot specify a "run after" date: it will begin running immediately after its current term expires. If you'd like to renew an expired ad, click on the "Expired ads" link in the left navigation bar, then click the "replicate ad" link that corresponds with the ad you'd like to replicate. Select which version of the ad you prefer, and click "Replicate selected ad."

If you are running Norton Security, or other similar software, make sure you either have Adblocking turned off or whitelist Blogads pages. Once you've done this, you will likely see the "Versions" link. Also you will not see the "Versions" link if you've purchased a classie ad- as no edits can be made to those.
