We have configured our CDN domain that we use for tracking scripts so that it is not available for search engine bots, including Google. Blocking search bots from domains that serve tracking scripts is best practice according to Google and other companies, because otherwise - if we would allow bots to crawl these scripts and it would result in unreliable statistics for our clients.

This has no effect on website using these scripts, it is just a simple way to block bot access. 

How does it look like in Google Search Console?

If you check any website in Google Search Console

Please place a HTML element in 2nd step of lead (email) banner in Ad Editor, and use this code to set a cookie:

Our Overlays technology is optimized for different browsers and we take into account several things, for example:

• mouse speed and direction
• system checks, how many tabs are opened and if visitor has several tabs opened from the same site, then we don't show the Overlay when visitor closes other tabs, we show it - only when visitor is about to leave the last tab
• it also checks if you just opened the site and moved mouse out of active window by mistake,
• for mobile visitors we can also trigger Overlays when they scroll to the address bar to enter a different

Platform supports PNG, JPG and GIF file formats. Animated GIF images can be used. We suggest always using PNG banners because they do not loose quality upon upload. As for size – we suggest using large banner sizes. Some of the recommended sizes are – 970x550, 640x360, 600x600, 580x460. Different images should be used for tablet and smartphone campaigns. For tablet campaigns recommended image sizes are - 640x360, 600x600, 580x460. Images larger than 700px in width should not be used. For smartphone campaigns we recommend using images with size 320x320 or 320x480.

We will remove MaxTraffic branding when you choose subscription plan “Plus”.

Overlays and Promo bars are not bringing you new visits, but working to get more conversions from existing ones. So this is why we consider those "assisted conversions". Below I have described how we track track results with Google Analytics on our own projects.

Google Analytics Events

Navigate to Behaviour > Events and you will see event category "MaxTraffic".

Event labels will be your campaign names as on MaxTraffic platform, activity will be either "Impression" or

In case you are using a script from your email marketing service, all your new subscribers will automatically be stored in a list of your service provider. If you are using our built-in form, you can access a CSV file with all subscribers from your dashboard in Leads section.

When you use targeting by URL, the platform looks at your website address. It looks at any symbols and matches them exactly as they appear in address bar.

Targeting home page

Look at your website address when in homepage. In most aces it will look something like this:

To target campaigns to appear only on home page select "equals" option and type "/"

Targeting specific language

For multilingual sites you will want to show different ads to visitors browsing your site in different languages. Look for part in address indicating language. In example below they are "en" for English and "fr"
