Anyone who reads my most previous question feel free to answer it if you can be of assistance. I've just recently looked up my ad's stats at the publisher's center through Bidvertiser. Please keep in mind that I just recently became a publisher through Bidvertiser less than a month ago. The same time frame applies for when I first became a Lunarpages customer. What I would like to do now is to place a banner/image graphic and use that for the linked ad. That would really help my ad stand out.

It would seem that bidvertiser only offers TEXT-ADS: http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/BidVertiser/bdv_publisher_templates.dbmIf you want banners you will probably have to choose a different ad provider. But then again the banners will probably be done via javascript so you probably wont be able to track the stats using your 3rd party tool. But I am not familiar with banner ads so maybe it is possible. If you want to make your text ads stand out more, you may be able to put an image around/behind the text ad, but this may be against their terms and conditions. Once again bidvertiser does offer you a complete stats package so you should be fine sticking with them. |

 ,........ I am going to repeat what I told you in the other thread ... just go ahead and create your own banner/image graphic and use that for the linked ad. If Stat Checker needs it to be an image to process the stats, then just provide it one. It's easy enough to do. I am pondering how leighsww meant that I should go ahead and create my own banner/image graphic and use that for the linked ad. That does sound like a very interesting concept. |

Rowan makes a good a point, however. You best check with the Advertiser first what their terms/conditions are in putting your own image for the links. Just for your own reference for future need to create images and link to them, here's a Google search that will give you tutorials, so you have your pick of whichever one you can understand (since some members had given you the img tag html code already in your other thread, yet you didn't understand how to use it. Maybe the Google search links may provide you with understanding it better) --> Google search "Linking Images"The first link " Lesson 3.03" pretty much spells it out for ya

How does BidVertiser decide which ad get displayed?
BidVertiser will always display the highest bidders on your site, assuring the maximum revenue possible at any given time. You will see a constant improvement in your bidding over time, as both your visitors and our advertisers will be exposed to the opportunity of bidding against each other on your ad space.
Due to the nature of how bidvertiser works you will not be able to have your own custom link. |

This also sets it in concrete: Can I alter the BidVertiser HTML code?
No. Please paste the BidVertiser HTML code into your web pages without making any modifications.

I already had the various versions of the IMG tag that members had given me on here. I do appreciate everyone's posts here. I think that I may just be staying a member of the Lunarpages community for a while longer. Hopefully someday I will be able to help another new Lunarpages member. Just as all of you have helped me.  |

... I do not like that you have closed my other thread. It's probably true that Lunarpages customer service will close this one as well. It was not my intention to insult anyone. Only to ask for a little help. That's all really.
The other thread (on exactly the same subject) was going around and around in circles:
while (true) {
You: "Where's the IMG tag?"
SomeoneElse: "There is no IMG tag. It's a text link."
}
If you refrain from doing that again, this thread will likely not be closed. Just a side note: it's not LunarPages customer service that closed the other one; it's the LunarForums administration. BidVertiser or Stat Checker (or whoever) gave you a bum steer when they told you to look for the image (IMG) tag. It doesn't exist. It sounds like maybe you don't know enough HTML to be working in this stuff, and should read a book or two on the subject before plunging back in. I'm not trying to insult you with this -- just pointing out that you seem to be in over your head. Phil |

I think that Stat Checker's customer service must have not even looked at my web page prior to "giving me a bum steer". They had presumably assumed that the ad was image based rather than text based. |

Currently I have changed my ad server to Google Adwords. I have configured the ads through them so that only image based banner ads are being displayed. Once again I find myself in need of the img tag in order to check the ads statistics with Stat checker. : ) I do of course have the ad html itself, although the end the URL has not been interpolated. I am aware that Google Adwords displays statistics in multiple different categories. What I want to do is to compare statistics between the stats page in my Google Adwords account and the ad's statistics as determined by Stat Checker.  Also I do intend to read up on HTML soonafter the upcoming school year. I am going back to college in the upcoming Fall semester to work towards my second Bachelor's degree. My major this time is History. http://www.bleu-wizard.com/dinosaur |

just so you know, your page comes up as only a text file in firefox. To make it viewable as a web page, it must be in the form of: <html>
<head>
<title>Your page title</title>
<head>
<body>
Page content here.
</body>
</html>
Also you will not have an image tag with the google ads either as this is done dynamically by them through this: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

for what it's worth, the only way you will end up with an IMG tag is if you are hosting the banner images that are displayed in your account. With Google AdWords, you are using a javascript that determines which ad is displayed on your page, but the image itself is stored elsewhere...

I think you are talking about AdSense, which is displayed on your website. AdWords are ads that show up on google.com alongside websearches. Similar names; different concepts.

You're correct it is AdSense that I have on my site rather than AdWords. Are there any other variables in the ad that are not in the ad HTML itself? What would Stat Checker's customer service have meant when they said that the remainder of the values need to be interpolated prior to inputting the ad HTML into Stat Checker? Such values as tref, win_name, etc. At least that's what they would look like prior to interpolation. They've continued to tell me to ask the hosting plan that I'm using for the answers. As I had mentioned earlier I am aware that it is my responsibility. Thank you everyone again for all of your help so far. |
