Title: banner variable
Post by: xmanhattan on February 16, 2009, 17:24:56

Hello all,

I am trying to create a flash banner that will have an onclick for the mouse and would like to know what is the variable that I can use in the following to also pass the click to banner.php to increase impressions.  I will probably have a few rotating graphics.

I would like to use the var in the html flash code.

Code: [Select]

FlashVars="clickTAG=http%3A//www.example.com"

Make your flash banner link to link to the banners component. Be sure that in the banner url parameter in elxis you have provided the final redirect url (i.e. http://www.in.gr) .

With SEO PRO enabled a link to banner is like this:
http://www.mysite.com/banners/xxx.html
Where xxx the banner id. Insert the proper language indicator for multilingual linking (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/fr/banners/34.html)

So, in order to "catch" the click your flash banner should link to the banner it self.
