Create Simple Click Tracker

[oldgarfield]

Hi guys,

I'm new to this, started my own local-hosted revive adserver today for testing purposes.

In my previous company we were provided a customized openX interface.

 

Since mostly I need to do is click and impressions tracking I though I could set up a self hosted revive Adserver.

 

Now im stuck.

 

For external campaigns I used to create a simple click tracker.

E.g. I provided Partner A with 3 Sets, consisting of 3 images and 3 click tracker / redirect URLs.

 

Images were sent directly and click tracker / redirect URL was created in the adserver. (Sent as text in with the images)
Important is that they should not rotate. It was always the specific click tracker / redirect URL for the corresponding banner.

 

How can I create such a simple clicktracker in Revive ? (It is not a "Text Banner")

I don't use the ad type , because I simply would need the redirect/clicktracker to make the adserver count the clicks.

 

 

 

Additionally, how can I create multiple redirects at once ?

 

I used to create multiple "Banner Names" e.g.:

 

Banner 1
Target URL: www.destination1.com

 

Banner 2

Target URL: www.destination2.com

 

Banner 3

Target URL: www.destination3.com

 

 

 

And the result was

 

Banner 1

Redirect URL 1

 

Banner 2

Redirect URL 2

 

Banner 3

Redirect URL 3

 

 

Then I would go and use these redirect URLs to track the 3 different Sets.

I could no find a way to create these redirects /invocations codes for multiple banners at once and directly on banner level, not the zone one, no rotating desired.

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

 

André

 

 

 

P.S.

Yes I found the plugins in /etc/ and they are installed.

You can use the legacy Direct Selection method to either call your banners individually, or place them within a single campaign and call that campaigns instead.
