Creating a banner ad group
| A banner ad group contains a collection of banner adverts which rotate. Every banner advert must belong to a banner ad group. The name of the banner ad group is entered into the bannerRotator component in Flash in order to identify the group of banner adverts to display. |
This tutorial will show you how to create a new banner ad group.
1. Select "Add Banner Group" from the control panel menu.
This will open the "Add New Banner Ad Group" screen.
2. All of the fields must be completed. Here is an explanation of each field.
| Banner Name | Enter a name to identify this banner ad group. The same name must be entered into the bannerRotator component in Flash in order to identify the banner ad group to display. |
| Banner Description | Enter a description of the banner ad group for your own reference. For example: "Banner ad group for top of home page." |
| Seconds Per Ad | Enter the number of seconds to display each banner advert that is in rotation. |
| URL Target Window | Enter the target window location where the banner advert links should open when clicks. In most cases you would leave this as "_blank". |
| Unique Impressions | Select "Yes"
if you would like the impressions to count only the first time that a banner advert is shown on that page. |
| Unique Clicks | Select "Yes" if you would like the clicks for each advert to count only once while the user is on the same page. Note: If the user visits the page again, the clicks will count again. |
| Note: In some cases, depending on the Internet connection speed, a banner advert may display for a slightly longer period than specified in the "Seconds Per Ad" parameter. This has been designed in such a way to prevent blank space, as the next banner will only display once it has loaded completely. |
3. Press "Save" to save this banner ad group.
The next step is to add an advertiser.
