Most of us are monetizing the website using display advertisements like Google AdSense<\/a> and Media.net<\/a>. If you are, for maximum viewability and conversion, you can make your ad widget sticky.<\/p>\n

Some folks are accepting sponsored banners on their website. For maximum viewability, you need to make the banner widget sticky.<\/p>\n

How To Make WordPress Sidebar Widget Sticky<\/h2>\n

First of all, go to your WordPress dashboard and widgets section. You can see all the widgets under the appearance menu.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

In my case, I don’t have any widgets in my primary sidebar. So, I am going to add a recent posts widgets there.<\/p>\n

\"wordpress<\/p>\n

So that part is done! Right now, the widget is not in a fixed state. Let’s make it a sticky one.<\/p>\n

Go to add new plugins section, search for the Q2W3 Fixed Widget<\/a> plugin. Install the plugin in your blog.<\/p>\n

\"Q2W3<\/p>\n

Once you got installed the plugin, you need to activate it.<\/p>\n

\"activate<\/p>\n

You can see the plugin’s settings under the appearance menu. At this time, you don’t need to configure any settings.<\/p>\n

\"fixed<\/p>\n

Again, go to the widgets section. You can see a new option called fixed widget. Enable it and update the widget.<\/p>\n

You can see the widget is fixed! You can use any optin form like OptinMonster<\/a> fixed by using this plugin. That’s how you can grow the email list<\/a>.<\/p>\n
