Linking banners to zones

After you create a zone, you can link banners to it. Only linked banners are displayed in a zone. You can link banners and zones in two ways:

• Link banners to zones
• Link zones to banners

Linking banners to zones

You can link individual banners to zones, or link them as part of a campaign. See also: Linking campaigns to zones.

In the Zone properties > Linked banners tab, you can link a selected zone to a campaign or to an individual banner.

To link a zone to a banner:

1. Select the Link individual banners option from the drop-down menu and click the arrow.
2. The Advertiser menu lists advertisers with banners this zone can link to. Select an advertiser and press the arrow. The form refreshes to show the Campaign menu.
3. In the Campaign menu, select a campaign containing the banner and press the arrow. The form refreshes to show the Banner menu.
4. In the Banner menu, select the banner to link to this zone and click the arrow.

The page refreshes and the banner is listed in the Banners linked to this zone section.

Important: If a banner you expect to see does not appear, check that the banner and zone dimensions are compatible. When updating an existing ad, do not change the dimensions; a change in dimensions can break the link to the zone.

Linking zones to banners

The Banner properties > Linked zones tab lists all the zones that are compatible in size and type with the selected banner. Select the zone or zones you want to link to this banner and click Save changes.
