wayne get's caught with a pistol, T.I gets caught with machine guns and bazookas - ProjectCOVO.com Global Forum

which template would i have to insert the Vibrant Media code so it appears frequently like in this forum?

vibrant attaches itself to words.

generally, you would simply place the code in the footer ad template, and if you want it only on threads, wrap it in
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'SHOWTHREAD'"">
code
</if>


(note, use <vb:if style if on vb4.)

Thanks Brian. I appreciate your help.

One more question. I'm running Google Adsense and Advertising.com Ads on my community. Advertising is paying 0.65 eCPM. But i'm losing out because they say a lot of my traffic to their program is international traffic which is why we they redirecting a ton of traffic.

Do I have the ability to geo-target their tags to my US traffic only ?

i'm using vBulletin 3.8.2... i just checked the template... There's a ad_footer_start and ad_footer_end ... which is the appropriate template?

ad_footer_end is what you want to use.

geo-targetting requires some sort of ad manager that is capable of doing so, such as openX

Brian,

What's the proper HTML code to monetize impressions directly via redirects from one ad network to another.

I got these instructions but don't understand step 2. -- I don't know what is suppose to go inside of this HTML file being created.

Step 1: Create a directory location on the web server.
· Create a new subdirectory on your web server that is appropriately named for your business needs (i.e. house_filler).
Step 2: Create the content that will be stored on the web server.
· Create an HTML file for each creative size.



· The HTML language needed to render the media (i.e., a set of anchor tags to a binary image, object tags to render Flash content or iFrame/script calls to other ad-serving engines) should be inside of each HTML tag. (Note: These HTML files should not contain formatting tags to align or center the media in the page view – only what is needed in order to render the content.)


· Name the HTML files appropriately with respect to creative sizes
(i.e., my_site_filler_728x90.html).



· Place the HTML files in the subdirectory you created in Step 1.



· Place any supporting files (gif images, swf files, etc.) in the subdirectory you created in Step 1.

I have no idea what that is about.... what are you trying to do?

I have one advertising program (Advertising.com) and another (Adsense).

With Advertising.com alot of my traffic comes internationally... so its dragging down my eCPM rate. With their program it allows the option to swap out the internal redirects which goes to lower paying eCPM to an external redirect (which would be Adsense) through their interface. But i have to setup this html file and folder on my server to do so.

Their guideline says...

Based on conditions set forth by the publisher, Advertising.com may elect to opt out of certain impressions that come from a given website based on specific criteria. The publisher can elect to monetize the impressions directly via redirects to their own media or an alternative vendor.
The following steps outline Advertising.com's best practices regarding the use of redirects. The practices outlined below allow the publisher to retain control over their media content, including the ability to make changes as needed. Advertising.com recommends that the publisher host the media content on a web server that is globally accessible on the Internet.


Step 1: Create a directory location on the web server.
· Create a new subdirectory on your web server that is appropriately named for your business needs (i.e. house_filler).
Step 2: Create the content that will be stored on the web server.
· Create an HTML file for each creative size.
· The HTML language needed to render the media (i.e., a set of anchor tags to a binary image, object tags to render Flash content or iFrame/script calls to other ad-serving engines) should be inside of each HTML tag. (Note: These HTML files should not contain formatting tags to align or center the media in the page view – only what is needed in order to render the content.)
· Name the HTML files appropriately with respect to creative sizes
(i.e., my_site_filler_728x90.html).
· Place the HTML files in the subdirectory you created in Step 1.
· Place any supporting files (gif images, swf files, etc.) in the subdirectory you created in Step 1.


Sample HTTP Locations: The coding used to render these images can be seen by navigating to either location below, then clicking "View", then "Source."
To anchor tags for a binary image:
http://bannerfarm.ace.advertising.co...er_468x60.html
To object tags displaying Flash:
http://bannerfarm.ace.advertising.co...r_300x250.html

I have no experience with that. You should perhaps try advertising.com's support area.
