The following presents a guideline on how AdPilot standard and rich media tags should be edited to count clicks in Google Ad Manager. In order to track clicks follow the procedure below:
JavaScript Code
Original Code
You should have received some JavaScript code from AdPilot that looks similar to the following example:
<script src=”https://mediafriends.adspirit.net/adscript.php?pid=987&ord=[timestamp]” type=”text/javascript” language=”JavaScript”>
</script>
<noscript>
<a href=”https://mediafriends.adspirit.net/adnoclick.php?pid=987&ord=[timestamp]” target=”_top”>
<img src=”https://mediafriends.adspirit.net/adnoscript.php?pid=987&ord=[timestamp]” border=”0″ width=”300″ height=”250″ /></a>
</noscript>Modified Code
What you need to do is modify the URL in the <SCRIPT> tag as shown by the highlighted changes, The resulting tag should look similar to the following example:
<script src=”https://mediafriends.adspirit.net/adscript.php?pid=987&ord=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&click=%%CLICK_URL_ESC%%” type=”text/javascript” language=”JavaScript”>
</script>
<noscript>
<a href=”%%CLICK_URL_UNESC%%https://mediafriends.adspirit.net/adnoclick.php?pid=987&ord=%%CACHEBUSTER%%” target=”_top”>
<img src=”https://mediafriends.adspirit.net/adnoscript.php?pid=987&ord=%%CACHEBUSTER%%” border=”0″ width=”300″ height=”250″ /></a>
</noscript>Note
The ad server recognises the [timestamp] placeholder and will automatically replace it with a cache buster. It is not necessary to convert it to the %%CACHEBUSTER%% macro manually.
Use %%CLICK_URL_UNESC%% at the beginning of a link. Use %%CLICK_URL_ESC%% when the click-tracker is the parameter of another URL.
<a href="%%CLICK_URL_UNESC%%https://www.google.com">link</a>
<a href="https://www.google.com?rd_url=%%CLICK_URL_ESC%%">link</a>
