Creative does not click!

In some cases, unfortunately, the click tracking of the ad media can no longer be adjusted. In these cases you can try to overwrite the click tracking manually. This is done by placing a transparent GIF over the ad media and making it clickable. If the user clicks on the ad medium, the click event of the GIF is triggered instead of the actual click event of the ad medium.

If an HTML ad media has been created, the "Override click tracking" function can be executed and the ad server will insert the required code. The ad media must then be saved.

The click destination must now be entered under Target URL. 

An example implementation in AdSpirit can look as follows:

<div style="position:relative;">
<iframe width="300" height="250" noresize="noresize" scrolling="no"
        frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
        src="..."
        ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true"></iframe>
<div style="position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px;"><a href="%urlredirect%" target="_blank"><img src="http://%imgsvr%/1x1.gif" width="%width%" height="%height%" border="0" alt=""></a></div>
</div>

In the example, the part of the customer ad medium is marked green, while the part marked red represents the newly added code that is used to override the ad medium click tracking.
