We do not display ads on pages with paywalls to prevent them showing on top of the paywall. This also means they will not display on the article page that a user signs in on (until navigating away and returning), or on metered paywall pages. We currently have an issue on devices using splitscreen mode, where ads can appear on one side of the screen
Amazon Polly is a cloud platform that converts text into speech. We have integrated it into Pugpig Bolt, allowing you to have an audio option for your articles, as a button in the timeline and in the article, which launches our native audio player. Pricing Please note that there are costs involved with setting up and using Amazon Polly. These are:
We can also serve a 320x50 leaderboard at the very top of articles, which is not sticky and will disappear as users scroll. This unit sees very high viewability, so is good for expanding your inventory, and is served inline via a Google Publisher Tag (GPT) rather than the SDK. This is therefore treated as a web advert.

Generally we don't require access to your Google Ad Manager account, so for troubleshooting there are a couple of tools you can use depending on the ads in question. Inline ads: these are served in webviews and can thus quite easily be inspected on your Bolt Web Reader. If you don't have a live web reader you can use your preview reader to the same
We have the ability to not show ads for specific users, this is based on the response we get from your authorisation system, which optionally passes a flag into the content which disables ads for that user. This can be useful if, for example, you don't want to show ads to premium users, or younger users. In order to make use of this feature, tell yo

Inline MPU 300x250 We support the ability to serve ads within the content view of an article, these are served inline via GPT, rather than the native SDK - this is because articles are webviews. This utilises the widely-used 300x250 size creative. The ad unit will collapse if there's no suitable ad to serve, so as not to leave empty space in the co
Norkon Live Center scripts are supported in articles, used for adding live updates to an article. The script can be added straight into the WYSIWYG text editor, or it can be included in the article body from an RSS feed. The screenshot below shows a sample script injected onto an article page. With a little extra development work, Pugpig can custom
What is the Scrubber? The scrubber, also known as the collection navigator, is a feature which gives users an alternate way to scroll and rotate through content within both editions and timelines. This appears as a carousel of pages that pops up from the bottom of the app or webpage, displaying ordered snapshots of each article within the flatplan.
Ad units are specified app-wide, with the option to override on a per-section, edition or article level. These overrides allow you to specify a different ad unit, or suppress ads entirely for the selected content. You're also able to specify a specific number of paragraphs before the first ad, independent of the general placement, as well as cappi
Full Page Interstitial This is supported from Android 3.24 and iOS 4.1. This ad displays after the app startup flow has completed. This is served using the SDK and is treated as an native app placement.
Overview We can also pass information about the article or collection into the ad request. This enables targeting via taxonomy using key value pairs, which you set up in your GAM. For example, the section, author, edition can all be passed as targeting information to Google Ad Manager, allowing you granular control over which ads are served where wi
