Hi,

Yes, in addition to AdWords, you can also uplaod your GWD ad to DoubleClick Studio. If you choose to use other ad networks, I would first verify their requirements for upload. Most will probably allow you to upload the published zip file.

thx!

Hi,

I've actually used GWD to make banners for Sizmek/MediaMind, theres just (if I remember correctly) two JS files that need to be linked, and you'll have to write a function for the clickthrough.

So if you make a Generic ad, and make the banner, and then copy the Sizmek tracking from their docs/templates you should be good to go.

thank you, that's good to know.

But can you upload a banner on your own website that's not registered with any ad server or ad sense?

Sure.

All ads are basically pulled in using an iFrame, just use a div to wrap it.

You might also need to look into the sandboxing of the iFrame to make sure certain things work.

Are you talking about using these for a portfolio?

Hi, I've recently tried to mash Sizmek Scripts into a GWD published banner.
When my producer uploaded the banner to Sizmek's Ad manage system, this error message appeared:

"The include of the adkit.js or EBLoader.js is missing in the root HTML file."

Can someone assist me on this?

Oh, actually when I tried this I was also part of EG+ haha.

First of all, are you sure you've included EBLoader.js in Code View?

Also,

You might want to check the published ZIP to see if the JS file is still there or not.

I've recently learnt that when you use the <script> include tags with GWD it imports the JS on publish and puts all the JS inline in the main HTML.

Haha what a small world. (& Thanks for replying!)

Yeah I've added " <script src="scripts/EBLoader.js"></script>".
But once published, GWD inlines the scripts.

Do I have to "hack" the published index banner as well?

I seemed to have gotten this figured out.

But the file size exceeded specs requirement.

Hmm.

How did you end up doing it? Just hacking the published script?

Could you try and config it as a Polite Load banner instead?

I added the required under <head>: in the republished index.

And included the scripts in the exported package.

Tweaked the script.js to call required element by renaming its Id.

But my file size has exceeded though.

Sorry Pete, I've actually checked the Sizmek API and they have no in-built code to call extra assets, I guess they feel that the HTML is all ready polite loading enough.

If you file size has exceeded, have you tried minification? As far as I recall, Sizmek doesn't like files that are .min.js, but you can quite easily have a .js that is minified inside anyway.
