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 to verify if it is mobile friendly, Google will also provide info about resources that are blocking themselves from search bots. In example below you can see test results from elcorteingles.es  - and among blocked scripts there is googleadservices.com as well:

<script>
    document.addEventListener("afterShow", function() {
        maxtAd.setCookie('mt_subscribed', '1');
    });
</script>

From this example:

mt_subscribed = cookie name, can change according to your needs

1 = cookie value

By using this code all visitors who will fill out the banner and get to 2nd step, will get a cookie.

Later you can use this cookie to target (or exclude) these visitors from other campaigns.

<script>
document.addEventListener("afterShow", function() {
    maxtAd.closeCreative();
});
</script>

If this code is used, then after user fills out form, the 2nd step of banner will automatically be hidden (banner will close itself).

2. Upload it as standard banner.

3. Click press the dots on the right of your campaign and from the dropdown menu select "Edit".

4. Go to "Background" section in Ad Editor.

5. Choose "Transparent" option and save the banner.

Target visitors based on traffic source

1. Adding UTM parameters to landing page URLs

If you are running advertisement campaigns in different websites (Forbes, Business Insider, etc.) then the best practice is to add UTM parameters for your landing page URL, so that later you can analyze results in Google Analytics based on traffic source. 

If your website domain is myweb.com, then when someone clicks on your ads for example in Forbes.com, then he should be redirected to your landing page with UTM parameters similar to these:

http://www.myweb.com/?utm_source=forbes.com&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=summer-promo

In this example you can see that 3 parameters are added:

• utm_source
• utm_medium
• utm_campaign

But there could also be other or different parameters, depending on what information you want to later use for analyzing visitors and targeting them.

2. Setting cookies

If you would like to target visitors based on traffic source, then you would need to ask your IT team to set cookies based on these UTM parameters. For example, if your website uses PHP technology, then programmers would need to use a code that would be similar to this:

<?php
if(isset($_GET['utm_source'])) {
  //set traffic source cookie for 24h
  setcookie("traffic_source", $_GET['utm_source'], time()+3600*24, "/", "myweb.com");
?>

This code is checking, if utm_source parameter is used in the landing page URL, and if so - then the code sets a cookie in visitors browser with following parameters:

• Cookie name: traffic_source
• Cookie value: the value of utm_source parameter in the landing page URL
• Cookie expire time: 24 hours

So if we would look again at the landing page URL used in example above:

http://www.myweb.com/?utm_source=forbes.com&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=summer-promo

Then this PHP code would set cookie with these values:

• Cookie name: traffic_source
• Cookie value: forbes.com
• Cookie expire time: 24 hours (from the time cookie was set)

3. Targeting visitors based on cookies

Finally, if you are using UTM parameters when sending traffic to your website, and also set cookies, so you can later identify specific groups of visitors, then you can also target them by cookie values.

When you add new Overlay, then in "Target visitors" step, find the "Cookie Targeting" section and select "Use cookie Targeting":

Here you can enter the Cookie name, select condition that needs to be matched (for example - cookie value needs to be contain a specific text, or must start with some text, or if it is a number - must be higher or lower than value you specifiy).

In our example - let's say, that we would like to target visitors who came from Forbes.com advertisement campaign, then we would set following targeting settings:

And that is it. Save campaign - and it will be shown only to those visitors, who came from Forbes.com

2. Click "Add HTML" button

3. Edit HTML code

Delete the the old HTML code:  "<p>Your HTML here</p>"

And replace it with following code (just change google.com to your own link):

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank"
style="width:100%; height:100%; position:fixed;"></a>

4. Save banner

That is it! Now if someone will click on banner, the link you specified in HTML code, will open in a new tab.

MaxTraffic is logging data in Google Analytics by using Events. To see this data, go to:

Behavior > Events > Overview

The default report will look something like this:

How to get more detailed event info?

In the bottom of report, you can see Event Category:

But you can also switch to Event Action - now you will see Impressions, Leads, Clicks from MaxTraffic banners.

You can also go to Event Label - and here you will see all banners that got impressions:

Now you can go into more details by generating reports that you are interested in - for example, checking from which traffic sources leads were generated etc. 

Security audits

Experienced team

Before working on MaxTraffic our team - including CEO, CTO and server admin are all experienced with building and maintaining similar projects - ad networks and other systems that track or support several million visitors per month, and where it is critical to have no downtime. 

Fast response

Mitigating risk

Contacts in case of an urgent situation

1. Click on "Upload new Ad" and choose "Upload email subscribe banner"

2. Select file, upload your banner. System will place default texts and buttons on your design:

3. Delete elements that you don't need, move buttons to correct places:

4. Switch to "Step 2: Thank You" tab, upload image for this step and add texts, if needed. 

5. Click on "Save Ad" and launch the campaign.

How to integrate with Mailchimp or Mailigen?

• Mailchimp email integration

• Mailigen email integration

• 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 URL, or if a visitor comes from search, opens your website, and then tries to leave using Back button.

Google Analytics Events

First we pass data about when ads by MaxTraffic are showed and clicked.
You can see this information as Events in your Google Analytics (GA) reports.

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 "Click"

This is all done automatically by our platform.

Creating segment for clicks and impressions

To create reports and see data in them, you will have to create segments with visitors that saw or clicked on ads.
Navigate to "Admin" section.

Click on "Segments" for your websites "View"

Click "+ New Segment"

Add settings like in the example for visits where customers clicked on ads. Create another segment with similar settings, but change activity to "Impression" for visits where customers just saw the ad.

Now you are ready to create custom reports.

Custom reports

Navigate to "Customization"

Click on "+ New Custom Report"

Choose similar settings as I have in example bellow. Replace "Goal 12 Completions" with the goal where you are tracking conversions for your site.

Save the report, then click on it to view statistics.
Click on "Choose Segments from list" and check the segments we created in previous steps.

Enjoy your reports!

Take in consideration that statistics on Google Analytics will not be accurate, it will show less clicks and impressions then our platform. GA uses sampled data and does not show the correct number.

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" for French.

In this case if you want want to show campaign only to visitors browsing English version of site, you will use these settings:

This tell platform to match all addresses that start with "/en". 

Alternatively you can tell platform to show campaigns everywhere except French part of the site

You do not need to include "en/" and exclude "fr/" at the same time because addresses that start with "en/" can not start with "fr/".
So these settings are wrong:

Target campaigns to appear in shopping cart

For most websites addresses in shopping cart look similar to this:

If you want to show campaigns only in shopping cart use the following setting:

You should have different offers for visitors still browsing and visitors who have chosen their products,
so you will probably exclude shopping cart from places where to show your campaigns:

You can also exclude just the "Thank you" page:

Targeting campaigns to product categories

On most sites address structure for product catalog is similar to this:

If you want to target campaign to appear only in these 2 product category pages and products inside them use these targeting settings:

Note that is this case you do not have to exclude cart, because platform is only showing the campaign in addresses that start with "/en/product-category" and "/en/other-product-category".
So targeting like this is redundant:

Targeting campaigns by keyword

Sometimes you may want to target campaigns for a specific product type. You can do that if you target campaigns by keyword. Look for the keyword in website address.

As you can see, keyword may appear in different parts of the address,
so when selecting "Contains" option It will add * around the keyword.
The * tells our platform that there can be anything before or after the keyword:

Again, excluding cart is not necessary unless the targeted keyword can be found in the address of cart.
Redundant example:

However you might have to exclude French language if our keyword is the same in both languages:

Attention! Matching is case sensitive

Matching is case sensitive, so targeting addresses like these:

would look like this:
