One of the most flexible traffic monetization solutions - Direct link (Smart link, Direct ads) - gives publishers the easiest way to send and sell traffic to Monetag. One link and thousands of offers rotate depending on the site, traffic, and targeting. We pick the most suitable and profitable ad feed for each ad placement, and our optimization team is always searching for the best-fitting ads to increase rates.
You can take a Direct link in your Monetag account:
in the special tab
or via the Websites menu (Websites -> Add and verify your site -> Add zone -> Get tag)
You can choose the area where your Direct link will be placed. It can be integrated into any element, such as a button, text, or image. For the best results, we recommend placing it in one of the most clickable areas of your site to maximize impressions.
Below are some examples of how to integrate a Direct Link into your website.
Create a hyperlink and insert the ad tag into it.
To do this, copy your Direct link tag and replace the domain in the example below with your tag. You can also customize the link text to suit your needs.<a href="//uplcm.com/4/0000000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download Free Games</a>
You can add the Direct Link code to a button on your website, like a “Download Now” button in this example, to make it clickable and direct users to the intended destination.
Below is an HTML code snippet that you can edit by adding your own image or GIF URL and inserting the Direct link you got from your Monetag account dashboard:
<a href="//uplcm.com/4/0000000" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://YOUR_IMAGE_URL_HERE"></a>
If you want an ad to be triggered when a user clicks a specific area of your page or a button, such as the “Download Now” button shown in the example above, use the following JavaScript code snippet. Modify the code as needed to suit your website's requirements and do not forget to add your Direct link tag in the designated place:
<script type="text/javascript">
function open_win() {
window.open("//go.oclasrv.com/afu.php?zoneid=00000", "ad");
}
</script>
<a href="<your-target-link-here>" target="_blank" onclick="open_win()"><img src="/download.gif" alt="Download Free Game" /></a>
You can also use the following advanced version of the code:
<script>
var els = document.querySelectorAll(".enter_a_css_here");
var smart_link = "http://enter-a-smart-link-here";
for (var i = 0; i < els.length; i++) {
els[i].onclick = function() { window.open(smart_link, "ad"); };
}
</script>
