Macro Implementation Recommendations & Examples
Click Tracking: For Pontiac to track clicks properly when utilizing third-party creative tags, the Click Macro will need to be properly inserted into the tag. Below are examples for the common ad servers. If your ad server is not included here, contact your third-party server for the location where the macro should be placed. The macro is: ${CLICK_URL}
Cache-busting: The cache-buster macro helps to ensure that impressions are more accurately counted as it guarantees that a fresh call is made to the ad server each time the tag is called. If this macro is not implemented it is more likely that you will see larger discrepancies between Pontiac reporting and the reporting in your ad server. Below are examples of the macro placement in tags for common ad servers. If your ad server is not included here, contact your third-party server for the location where the macro should be placed. The macro is: ${CACHEBUSTER}
All examples on this page were provided Xandr or by Pontiac clients. Pontiac cannot guarantee that these examples represent the current implementation or that changes have not been made by those third-party servers that may cause these macros not to function. The proper placement of all macros should be provided by your third-party server.
