The following presents a guideline on how TangoZebra 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 TangoZebra that looks similar to the following example:
<script language=”Javascript1.1″ type=”text/javascript”>
<\!-\-
var tz_rnd = Math.random();
var tz_redirector_98756548 = “”;
var tz_vc_98756548 = “”;
var tz_force_98756548=-1;
var tz_pv_98756548 = “”;
var tz_bit1 = “<scr”;var tz_bit2 = “</”;
var tz_tag = tz_bit1 + ‘ipt language=”javascript1.1″ type=”text/javascript” ‘;
tz_tag \+= ‘src=”https://ad.uk.tangozebra.com/a/aj/s/9875/3654;’ + tz_rnd + ‘?ad_ron.js’;
tz_tag \+= ‘”>’ + tz_bit2 + ‘script>’;
document.write(tz_tag);
//–>
</script>
<noscript>
<a target=’_new’ href=’https://ad.uk.tangozebra.com/a/ac/c_noscript/9875/3654/9854;TIMESTAMP?https%3A%2F%2Fclk.atdmt.com%2FMCL%2Fgo%2Ft3mgzask0090000096mcl%2Fdirect%2F01%2F’><img src=’https://ad.uk.tangozebra.com/a/ai/v_noscript/9875/3654/9854/Overlaywith300x250Button;TIMESTAMP?300×250.gif’ border=’0′ width=’300′ height=’250′ 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 language=”Javascript1.1″ type=”text/javascript”>
<\!-\-
var tz_rnd = Math.random(%%CACHEBUSTER%%);
var tz_redirector_98756548 = “%%CLICK_URL_UNESC%%”;
var tz_vc_98756548 = “”;
var tz_force_98756548=-1;
var tz_pv_98756548 = “”;
var tz_bit1 = “<scr”;var tz_bit2 = “</”;
var tz_tag = tz_bit1 + ‘ipt language=”javascript1.1″ type=”text/javascript” ‘;
tz_tag \+= ‘src=”https://ad.uk.tangozebra.com/a/aj/s/9875/3654;’ + tz_rnd + ‘?ad_ron.js’;
tz_tag \+= ‘”>’ + tz_bit2 + ‘script>’;
document.write(tz_tag);
//–>
</script>
<noscript>
<a target=’_new’ href=’%%CLICK_URL_UNESC%%https://ad.uk.tangozebra.com/a/ac/c_noscript/9875/3654/9854;%%CACHEBUSTER%%?https%3A%2F%2Fclk.atdmt.com%2FMCL%2Fgo%2Ft3mgzask0090000096mcl%2Fdirect%2F01%2F’><img src=’https://ad.uk.tangozebra.com/a/ai/v_noscript/9875/3654/9854/Overlaywith300x250Button;%%CACHEBUSTER%%?300×250.gif’ border=’0′ width=’300′ height=’250′ 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>
