Placement positions value 6 means Sidebar

When to send it

Use 6 for rails and side columns: the right rail of a desktop article page, a skyscraper next to a feed, or a side panel in a tablet app. The value goes in Banner.pos, and occasionally in Video.pos for a player docked in a rail.

Sidebar says where the slot sits in the layout, not whether it is visible. The first slot in a rail is in view at load, while the third slot in the same rail may never be seen. Sellers who can measure the fold often prefer 1 or 3 for rail slots for that reason, and a rail unit that follows the user down the page is better described as 2 (Locked).

Example

{
  "imp": [
    {
      "banner": {
        "pos": 6
      }
    }
  ]
}
