The following presents a guideline on how Connextra standard and rich media tags should be edited to count clicks in Google Ad Manager. In order to track clicks follow the procedure below:
IFRAME Code
Original Code
You should have received some IFRAME code from Connextra that looks similar to the following example:
<iframe allowtransparency=’true’ src=’https://ff.connextra.com/advertisername/selector/client?client=advertisername&placement=300×250&tclk=[your-click-command-here]’ width=’300′ height=’250′ scrolling=’no’ frameborder=’0′ style=’border-width:0′></iframe>Modified Code
What you need to do is modify the URL in the <IFRAME> tag as shown by the highlighted changes, The resulting tag should look similar to the following example:
<iframe allowtransparency=’true’ src=’https://ff.connextra.com/advertisername/selector/client?client=advertisername&placement=300×250&tclk=%%CLICK_URL_ESC%%’ width=’300′ height=’250′ scrolling=’no’ frameborder=’0′ style=’border-width:0′></iframe>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>
