Adding an advertiser

Note: This article is for an old version of OpenX.

The latest OpenX documentation can be found at the following URLs:

In the Advertisers & Campaigns page click the Add new advertiser link. In the Add advertiser form, the following information is required:

  • The Name must be unique. You cannot create two advertisers with the same name.
  • The Contact is the name used for emails to the advertiser.
  • Advertiser emails are sent to the Email address you enter.

All other fields are optional:

  • In the Language menu, you can select a language to use to communicate with the advertiser or use the default language.
  • You can email an advertiser when a campaign automatically starts or ends.
  • You can email reports of banner and campaign statistics to an advertiser, and specify how often to send them.
  • You can enter a login name and password to give the advertiser access to statistics for banners and campaigns. If you create a login, you can allow the advertiser to do any or all of:
    • change settings
    • modify banners
    • activate campaigns
    • deactivate campaigns
    • view targeting statistics
    • import offline conversions

When you click the Next button, the Add new campaign page opens.

Note: You can change details for an advertiser at any time in the Advertiser properties page.

Note: The Advertiser will use the same URL for your Administration area and they will use their username and password that you have assigned.
