Creating an image Ad item
A simple tutorial showing you how to set up the most commonly used ad item types.
Creating an image ad item
- Open up the campaign or zone where you want to add a custom HTML ad item.
- Name the ad item by filling in the field. The name is only used for statistical purposes and isn't displayed with the ad item.
- Enter the Destination URL for the ad when it is clicked. This is optional.
- Set the Image source for the ad item. This what will be displayed as the graphic or creative part of the ad item. You can either use an image hosted somewhere, or one you've uploaded to your media library
- Set the Display SIze for the ad item. You can choose from a variety of preset dimensions or enter your own.
- Click Save at the bottom of the screen to save any changes you made. If adding the ad item directly to a zone, you'll also need to set the schedule for the ad item on this screen
Optional fields during ad item creation
| Destination URL | The URL users will go to if they click the ad item. |
| Target Window | How the ad item will direct the user if it's clicked. Recommended to leave on New. |

| Tracking pixel | The URL of an impression tracking pixel. |

Things to know
