AdTrack Administration
The AdTrack Administration program allows you to specify configuration entries that contain four elements that define the way your banner ads will display on your site.
Please note your AdTrack ID
The AdTrack ID is used when displaying banners on HTML pages on your web site.
Adding Banner Ads
You must edit these entries in order to make changes to your site's banner ads. Every entry corresponds to an ad. Every entry must have a group designation, which is a number. All ads that share the same group number will be displayed on a rotating basis. Everytime a page is accessed the next ad will display. When all ads have displayed the system starts again with the first ad in the group.
Banners must be GIFs or JPEGs and can be stored anywhere on your site or on the Internet. You can specify link information by indicating a file path for local files or a full URL such as http://www.external.com/index.html for external files. Use the term ³nolink,² without the quotes, if you do not want the banner to link to another page.
The weight parameter is currently not used, but will be used in the future for placing more ³weight² on ads of greater importance that should display more often, based on percentage, than ads of less weight.
Entry Format:
[Group ] [GIF or JPEG] [URL or ³nolink²] [Ad Weight]
Sample Configuration Entries:
| Group |
GIF or JPEG |
URL or "nolink" |

* Ads with same Group Number will rotate in sequence.
* Specify GIF or JPEG Filename which must be a valid URL on your site or the Internet.
* Specify the URL for the HREF link. Use the code ³nolink² if you do not want a particular ad to be clickable or linked to another page or site.
* Ad weight is currently not in use. Use a value of 100. In the future this will be used to give some ads higher ³weight² or place more importance on them during the rotation of groups.
Placing Banners Ads on Your HTML Pages
The placement of the banner ads is controlled by placing an HTML tag in your HTML file at the exact position you would like the ad to appear.
This tag is processed by the web server and is never seen by visitors to your site. The tag is automatically converted to a banner graphic and link as it is sent out by the server.
Make sure you specify your code and desired banner ad group number in the call.
If your banners do not display with this call, please contact Telusys for assistance.
Sample banner ad call in your HTML file:
<!--#include virtual="/banner-bin/adtracker.plus?000000=00=0"--><br>
000000 = Your ID number. If you do not know your ID number contact Customer Service to request it at service@telusys.net
10 = A group number you have assigned to an ad. You may use any number you choose. All ads within a group will rotate.
3 = Ad rotation display time in seconds We recommend a 3 second rotation.
Please note: Codes must be present in exact order as shown. The <br> code is a required code..
