| Using
Advanced Banners |
| Version 4.0 and
higher |
| Version 4.0 supports adding advanced
banners, text links, and products. An advanced banner is one
where you specify the full HTML for the banner, link or product.
An advanced banner could be a
Flash banner, HTML form or Ad, JavaScript banner, etc. To add an
advanced banner...
-
Log into the
Affiliate Wiz Administration area.
-
Click Banners
then choose Add/Edit Advanced Banner
-
Enter a
descriptive name for the banner.
-
Categorize
this new banner by selecting the appropriate category.
-
Enter the full HTML code for
your banner. The code must contain [AffiliateWizTargetURL]
in order for clicks to be tracked and in order for
affiliates to get credit for the sale.
Example: Suppose you are entering a simple image
using an IMG SRC HREF tag. An example would be:
<a href="[AffiliateWizTargetURL]"><IMG SRC="http://www.mydomain.com/myimages/myimage.gif"></a>
Note there is no URL in the above HTML. Rather, the
URL was replaced with [AffiliateWizTargetURL]. The
actual URL is placed in the Target URL field.
-
Enter the target URL for this
particular banner. The Target URL is the URL where a
person is taken when clicking the affiliate banner. Use
##AffiliateID## if you wish to pass AffiliateID to web
site. For example:
http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.asp?sponsor=##AffiliateID##
-
Enter the width and height of
the advertisement in pixels. For example, for the
standard 468 X 60 ad you would enter a value of 468.
-
Enter any optional message to
your affiliates. When your affiliates are browsing the
banners to display on their web site, these notes are
presented along with the banner.
-
Click Add New Banner to insert
the banner.
|
| Version 2.0 and
Higher |
Version 2.0
and higher of
Affiliate Wiz includes support for Static Advanced
banners. An advanced banner could be a Flash banner,
HTML form or Ad, JavaScript banner, etc.
To add an
advanced banner...
-
Log into the
Affiliate Wiz Administration area.
-
Under Banners,
click Add Adv.
-
Enter a
description and select a category.
-
Copy and paste
the FULL code for your advanced banner. Be sure to
use the complete URL's in this code as your Affiliates
will be using this code on their own web site and the
URL's must point to your server.
-
If you would
like to track the Clicks, you must place the following in
front of the Target URL and must include the proper
capitalization as well as the leading "[" and
ending "]".
[AffiliateWizTargetURL]
As an example suppose your advanced banner was a simple
HTML banner as shown below:
<a href="http://www.targeturl.com"><img
border="0"
src="myimage.gif"></a>
To track clicks, the above code would be changed
to:
<a href="[AffiliateWizTargetURL]http://www.targeturl.com"><img
border="0"
src="myimage.gif"></a>
-
Specify
all remaining information, then click the Add Advanced
Banner button to complete adding this new banner.

| Special
Notes
|
- Regarding
Advanced Banners which Post Form Information: If
your advanced banner contains a form that posts
information, Affiliate Wiz will retrieve this information
and send the information in the QueryString. As a
result, your page that analyzes this information must be
designed to accept this information from both a form and
the querystring. For example, use
REQUEST("ParameterName") rather than
REQUEST.FORM("ParameterName") to accept
information from both the form and querystring.
- Regarding Impressions
Tracking: Impressions are tracked by tagging a
hidden image to the end of the advanced banner code.
