Default Options
The default options allow you to define the global settings relating to your sponsor ads. It is recommended that you define the purchase URL and the alt/title tag text for use with the default ads you specified for each zone.
- Default Purchase Ad URI
- Enter the URL to the page where you accept ad orders. The cd-ad-sponsor plug-in, however, does not process orders or payments.
- Default Alt/Title Tag
- Enter the alt/title tag text used for the default ads you defined in the Manage Zones section. This entry should indicate to the visitor that they will be re-directed to the purchase page. An example entry might be, "Advertise with us.", or similar.
- Ad Nomenclature
- Select how you want the 'Advertise' nomenclature displayed next to your sponsor ads. The Ad Nomenclature specifies to your visitor which images are advertisements rather than regular images.
- Show Purchase link
- Check to display the Purchase Ad URI below each Sponsor Ad. The Default Alt/Title Tag text is displayed as the link to your purchase ad page.
- User Ad Presentation
- Check to display Ads to your logged-in users. You can disable ad presentation when your users are logged in to your site. Checking this option will display ads to all users.
- Clear Clickthrough Counts
- Some search engine crawlers, such as googlebot, may trigger invalid clickthrough counts. The Default Options page allows you to set whether search engine crawler click counts should automatically be removed from the clickthrough table. You can manually clear click counts from the Manage Excluded IP page as well.
- Expire Notification
- An administrative email notice is sent when an ad is expiring within the number of days specified.
- Enable Hostname Lookup
- This option indicates whether host names resolution is performed for each Excluded IP and Clickthrough IP. You use this option carefully. If you have a large number of excluded IP addresses or clickthrough IP addresses, enabling this option will slow down the Excluded IP and Report administrative views. This option does not affect site performance for your visitors.
