 |
|
Hi Richard,
I'm referencing the amp_ads table in the Ad Manager Pro db. The preview column that shows the url to the ad. In my example I have:
| <a target="_blank" href="http://www.reunitemysite.com"><img alt="Sample Advertisement" border=0 src="http://reunitemysite.com/scripts/amp/banners/1-1-1308190396.png" width="120" height="240"></a> |
Can I add some tracking info directly to that url to track the ads in the admin section? For example: Clicks / Impressions?
Thank you!
Brian

Hi Brian,
When it shows ads, it automatically tracks impressions and clicks, it doesn't need any extra tracking code. If you need to change something, please show me an example, maybe I don't see what you mean.
Impressions and clicks are not tracked when it shows only the preview in admin or users area. |

Sorry Richard,
I know that url that I posted tracks the clicks / impressions. I meant lets say the url was pulled from the db given: <a href=\"$row['url']\"><img src=\"$row['banner']\">
This will work getting the correct output per se but the actual link is not right, it will be without the tracking info.
That is what I meant. Is there another way around that?
Thanks again Richard!
Brian

| It can't be used since it creates unique URL for each impression. But you can use the php code which is also available in the code generator. It includes the html which shows ads directly to the page where is the ad code, so search engines can't detect that you use an ads management software. |

Then Richard can you explain this situatiion? I will provide a sample of it so you can see what I mean.
How come when I put the code generated from ad manager pro on a php page by itself (no other php code on the page other than the opening and closing php tags with the generated ad manager pro code) and reload the page, sometimes I get nothing on the page while another refresh I get some ads and not all of them. This works even if I display only 1 ad, it will not display the one ad and sometimes it will. I don't know if this is a bug in the script or something I am doing wrong in the admin area, but here is the page with a sample zone with multiple ads on the page to give you the example. You need to refresh F5 the page a few times to see what I mean.

Notice the code box above, that is the code used to generate the ads below the code box.
Thanks again!
Brian

| In the ads you selected it to never show the same ad again in 10 or so seconds for the same IP. When you reload the page in a short time, it shows nothing or only a single ad since the others were used in the last 10 seconds so it can't show them again. |

So your saying if I were to increase that number the ads would stay on the page after refreshing? Is it even possible to display that part?

| You can remove or decrease the limit which I mentioned. You also can create more ads, so it can show them even when you reload the page in a short time. Or you can create some default ads, these can be displayed when there are not available normal ads. |

Ok, that is fixed...But another issue is can I generate one code for all zones? Another words, I would just like to put one generated code to display all ads in the database, as I have created an A-Z index, and would like to put the generated php code to display all ads as the A-Z index would sort them accordingly.

| In the code generator you can choose only the required ad type, not zones. Then it creates a code which can show ads in all zones of the ad type. But it can't show ads by letters. If you need this feature, please email me. |
