If you used a third-party authoring tool, such as a code editor or Adobe Animate, to build your single expandable, proceed to set up your ad in Amazon Ad Server (AAS).
Before uploading your ad to AAS, verify that you have completed these prerequisites:
-
The folder that contains your assets does not include unnecessary files. For example:
-
Unused assets such as images, videos, or fonts.
-
Work files such as
.psd,.fla, or.scss. -
Hidden files such as
thumbs.db(Windows) or.DS_Store(Mac).
-
-
Create a workspace (zip file) for each ad. It is recommended that the zip file name matches the final name of the ad.
-
Each workspace contains its default image (named Default or Backup). This image should be optimized and lightweight.
Note
Note: Naming the workspace and the default image are especially useful when using the Ad Creation Wizard to bulk upload your work; the Ad Name field and the Default field will be filled in automatically. For more information, see Set up multiple ads using Ad Creation Wizard.
Setting up your ad requires that you start by uploading your workspace to the assets library. Then, set up your ad based on the workspace that you uploaded.
-
Select Creative > Ads.
-
Click New Ad > Blank Ad.
-
Give your ad a meaningful name.
-
In the Creative Assets > Main Assets tab:
-
Select the workspace folder and navigate to an uploaded Workspace.
Tip
Tip: AAS will default to this folder for the next step.
-
Select the default image.
-
-
Click Save.
-
(Optional) The format settings such as, ad name, default banner, banner settings, clickthrough and custom interactions can be modified if needed in the Ad Settings. For more information, please visit Work with custom interactions.
You can upload and set up multiple ads in a single process using the Ad Creation Wizard. For more information, see Set up multiple ads using Ad Creation Wizard.
After you finish creating your ad, make sure that you preview and test it. For more information, see Preview Your Ads and Test your ads.
You can set your single expandable to serve in one of these loading modes:
-
Instant: The entire unit loads immediately. This is the default behavior.
-
Polite: A lightweight image loads first. The full ad loads after the publisher's page finishes loading.
For more information about polite loading, see Add polite load to your HTML ads.
Currently, no custom interactions are reported in the template, except the user action counter button; however, you can always add custom interactions by using the following call:
EB.userActionCounter(); EB.automaticEventCounter();
For a list of all EB interaction counters and tracking, see EBAPI Module still viable for AdKit formats. For AdKit interactions, Methods.
