- Step 1: Choose Your Creative Asset
Initiate the process by selecting “HTML5” as your creative asset. Then, click “Next” to proceed. - Step 2: Upload Your HTML5 Creative
When preparing your HTML5 creative for upload to ad:personam, it's crucial to follow these guidelines to ensure your ad performs as intended across our platform: - Single Zip File Upload: All components of your HTML5 creative must be consolidated into a single zip file. This organization ensures that your ad's assets are properly bundled and can be accessed by the ad serving system.
- Index.html File Placement: Within your zip file, the index.html file must be positioned at the root level. Avoid placing this crucial file in a subfolder, as it needs to be directly accessible when the zip file is opened.
- Structure of Index.html: Your index.html must be a fully structured HTML document. This means it should include the foundational <html>, <head>, and <body> tags. A complete and valid HTML structure is essential for the ad to display correctly in various environments.
- Incorporating the clickTag Parameter: It's imperative that the clickTag parameter is correctly referenced within the URL of your HTML5 creative. This inclusion is critical for two main reasons:
- Click Tracking: The clickTag ensures that any clicks on your ad are accurately tracked, allowing for detailed performance analytics.
- Landing Page Redirection: Upon clicking the ad, the clickTag facilitates the opening of the corresponding landing page. This seamless transition is crucial for maintaining user engagement and driving campaign conversions.
- Step 3: Select Creative Size
After the upload, select the appropriate creative pixel size for your HTML5 banner. - Step 4: Landing Page URL
Enter the URL of the landing page where users will be redirected after clicking your ad. It's crucial for the URL to start with “https://” to ensure a secure browsing experience. - Step 5: Tracking Pixel (Optional)
If necessary, you can add a tracking pixel to your HTML5 creative to monitor its performance and gather valuable insights. - Step 6: Complete the Upload
Once all information has been entered and verified, click “Upload” to finalize the process.
