If the HTML for public or shared templates has not been altered, there will already be an advertisement tag within the template source.

- Using the structure of HTML or CSS tab control specifications to excluding advertisements by pushing them out of the display area.
-Layering so that advertisements are hidden or hiding advertisements using the structure of HTML or CS tab control specifications.
- Lowering the visibility by making both the text color and background color approximate and minimizing the font size.
