Can I do Direct Linking with Revive Adserver?

[Mihai T]

Hello,

I got a quick question: can I have direct linking campaigns with Revive Adserver?

The situation: 

 - i have several affiliation websites which are not displaying ads, but instead, i have articles about different products and a Direct link to the Advertiser website, in case the user wants to buy the product.

 - from what i read so far, Revive Adserver it's all about ads, banners linked to zones in the websites

 - but i have tracking links from my Advertisers and want an adserver through which i can pass all my tracking links, and on my websites i only implemented the final links, NOT zones.

 - can I do this with Revive Adserver? Create campaigns that don't use a zone but a Direct Link ?

Thank you very much!!

Hi @Mihai T,

Yes, Revive Adserver supports something called "direct selection", where you can select and display a specific ad. 

Unfortunately, there is no documentation on how to do this on our main site yet, but I suspect if you google around, there may be some info on the web?

Hey,

Thanks for the answer!

One thing though, i don't need to display an AD/Banner. That's my problem.

There will be no ads to show, only links that point directly to some landing pages. 

Actually, to give a good example, i want to know if Revive can be used as an affiliate tracking platform, like Cake, Voluum or HasOffers.

Thanks!

Revive Adserver is what the name implies, an ad server. It's not an affiliate marketing/tracking application.
