Testimonials
Having the demo out there was a brilliant idea, as I already feel comfortable with the user interface, so I can jump right in when I sign up!

It is a daunting challenge trying to find a good banner management company and I feel strongly that after all my research I hit the jack pot with you. I am happy and proud to recommend you to other publishers.

Do ad clicks have referrer information from my site?
Referrer information can be useful to determine the source of traffic. However, this field is controlled by the visitor's browser. Most browsers pass it on to the destination website while other browsers block or remove this field for privacy and other purposes.301 vs. 302
If someone clicks on an ad on your website and goes to the advertiser's website through our click tracking system, our click tracker record the click details first, then point the visitor to the correct advertiser's website. To redirect, our ad server issues a 301 or 302 HTTP header, depending on your account's setting. You can change this behavior by following the menu My Account/Profile, click on the Settings tab and change Click Redirection Code.A "301 Moved Permanently" redirect is more search-engine friendly as it helps them correctly rank and locate advertiser's website. It is suggested by major search engines as the proper method for off-site redirection.
A "302 Found" redirect is a temporary redirection. It might confuse some search engines as to which is the real page. Content and PageRank hijacking often link to the usage of 302 redirection.
IFrame vs. JavaScript
Additionally, it also depends on the serving code's format. If the ad is served via IFrame, the referrer URL is from our ad server. If the ad is served via JavaScript, the referrer URL is from your website. It means your advertiser would see referrer information in their website's request/traffic logs as if this visitor came from your site, not from our tracking servers.Other Articles in Technical
