The following presents a guideline on how Facilitate 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 Facilitate that looks similar to the following example:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var fd_imp = ‘https://adsfac.net/ag.asp?cc=PRT289.35876.1&ord=\[timestamp\]’;
var fd_clk = ‘https://adsfac.net/link.asp?cc=PRT289.35876.1’;
var fd_wdt = 300;
var fd_hgt = 250;
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://adsfac.net/ffa/clickTAG.js”></script>
<noscript>
<a href=”https://adsfac.net/link.asp?cc=PRT289.35876.1″ target=”_blank”><img src=”https://adsfac.net/ag.asp?cc=PRT289.35876.1&bk=1&ord=[timestamp\]” width=”300″ height=”250″ border=”0″ alt=””></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 type=”text/javascript”>
var fd_imp = ‘https://adsfac.net/ag.asp?cc=PRT289.35876.1&ord=%%CACHEBUSTER%%’;
var fd_clk = ‘%%CLICK_URL_UNESC%%https://adsfac.net/link.asp?cc=PRT289.35876.1’;
var fd_wdt = 300;
var fd_hgt = 250;
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://adsfac.net/ffa/clickTAG.js”></script>
<noscript>
<a href=”%%CLICK_URL_UNESC%%https://adsfac.net/link.asp?cc=PRT289.35876.1″ target=”_blank”><img src=”https://adsfac.net/ag.asp?cc=PRT289.35876.1&bk=1&ord=%%CACHEBUSTER%%” width=”300″ height=”250″ border=”0″ alt=””></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>
