Issues with the Adgator code by email

If you've attempted to implement the Getting your Adgator code by email and your ads are not displaying correctly then this document will help you to rectify any issues.

I've added the code to my blog but no ads are displaying

If you're experiencing this problem then the most likely cause for this is that the ad code hasn't come through correctly via email. Make sure that your email application supports HTML emails and not plain text because it's generally the plain text emails that mess things up.

Here's what the typical, correct ad code should look like:

 1. <!--JavaScript Tag // Tag for network 972: Afrigator // Website: http://justinhartman.com // Page: ROS // Placement: ROS top 728x90 (2392679) // created at: Feb 25, 2010 12:13:37 PM-->
 2. <script language="javascript"><!--
 3. document.write('<scr'+'ipt language="javascript1.1" src="http://adserver.adtech.de/addyn/3.0/972/2392679/0/225/ADTECH;loc=100;target=_blank;grp=[group];misc='+new Date().getTime()+'"></scri'+'pt>');
 4. //-->
 5. </script><noscript><a href="http://adserver.adtech.de/adlink/3.0/972/2392679/0/225/ADTECH;loc=300;grp=[group]" target="_blank"><img src="http://adserver.adtech.de/adserv/3.0/972/2392679/0/225/ADTECH;loc=300;grp=[group]" border="0" width="728" height="90"></a></noscript>
 6. <!-- End of JavaScript Tag -->

What's important to note in the correct ad code above is that there are six very distinct lines of code. If your ad code isn't broken down in six lines as above then the ads won't display at all on your site.

Here's a typical example of ad code added to a blog that doesn't work:

Bad code:

 1. <script language="javascript"><!-- document.write('<scr'+'ipt language="javascript1.1" src="http://adserver.adtech.de/addyn/3.0/972/2392679/0/225/ADTECH;loc=100;target=_blank;grp=[group];misc='+new Date().getTime()+'"></scri'+'pt>');

Good code:

 1. <script language="javascript"><!--
 2. document.write('<scr'+'ipt language="javascript1.1" src="http://adserver.adtech.de/addyn/3.0/972/2392679/0/225/ADTECH;loc=100;target=_blank;grp=[group];misc='+new Date().getTime()+'"></scri'+'pt>');

What you can see above is that the Good code has the document.write section of the ad code on a new line while the bad code has it as part of the same line. This is very common when ads don't display and the document.write section has to be on its own line in order for the code to work.

I'm only seeing Adtech ads on my blog

If you've implemented the new code on your blog and are seeing Adtech banner ads being displayed then there is something wrong and you need to  get in touch with us so that we can rectify the situation for you. No website should be displaying Adtech ads after the code has been added to your blog.

The Adtech ads display when there is no other ads to display on your blog however we will always have an ad to display for your website. This means that we either haven't linked a campaign to your blog or there is a problem with the way in which the code was implemented on your blog.
