Use [Route] attribute for separation call you actions

[HttpGet]
[Route("api/home/ads}")]
public List<Ad> AllAds()
{
 ...
}


[HttpGet]
[Route("api/home/ads/last}")]
public List<Ad> GetLastAds()
{
 ...
}

change the default route to have {action} in the route.

routes.MapHttpRoute(
       name: "DefaultApi",
       routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
       defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }

In that way you can call multiple actions by different urls.
