The following presents a guideline on how Bluestreak 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 Bluestreak that looks similar to the following example:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="https://s0b.bluestreak.com/ix.e?jss&s=578964&u=&n=[timestamp]&cltk="></script>
<noscript>
<a href="https://s0b.bluestreak.com/ix.e?hr&s=578964" target="_top">
<img src="https://s0b.bluestreak.com/ix.e?ir&s=578964" border="0"></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 LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="https://s0b.bluestreak.com/ix.e?jss&s=578964&u=&n=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&cltk=%%CLICK_URL_ESC%%"></script>
<noscript>
<a href="%%CLICK_URL_UNESC%%https://s0b.bluestreak.com/ix.e?hr&s=578964" target="_top">
<img src="https://s0b.bluestreak.com/ix.e?ir&s=578964" border="0"></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>
