  • {keyword}: The keyword that was matched in case of campaigns targeting specific keywords. This will be empty if there is no match.

  • {language}: The language of the visitor.

  • {pricing_model}: The pricing model of the campaign (1 = CPC, 2 = CPM, 4 = Smart CPM, 5=CPV, 7=Smart CPC).

  • {site_id}: The ID number of the site where the ad is displayed.

  • {url}: The full URL of the site that the Publisher submitted to the Admin Panel for displaying ads, including the HTTP protocol (e.g. https://examplesite.com). Note: This token will not display the URL where the ad was displayed to the user; only the URL that is registered in our platform.

  • {email_encoded}: This token can be used to insert the emails of logged in users into landing page URLs for Direct Link, Email Clicks, Popunder or Native Ads. Note: this token is only available on request. Contact your account manager and they can enable it for you.

Dynamic Tokens in Native & Push Ads

If you are creating a campaign using native ads or push ads in Step 2, you can add dynamic tokens for items such as {country}, {region} or {day} in the titles and descriptions . These tokens will then display localized text to the visitor based on their information, allowing you to target your ads more effectively.

For example, if you create a native/push ad with the title "Meet girls in {region} tonight!", a visitor from Barcelona would see: "Meet girls in Cataluña tonight!".

Setting the language for the tokens

Tokens Language

The dynamic tokens will display in the language that you set for the campaign. The language is set in the top right of the Variations list in Step 1: General Details of creating/editing a campaign. Choose the language for the tokens from the Ad Text Language drop-down. The default language is English.


Note: You can only select one language for all the variations in a campaign. For ads in different languages, you should create separate campaigns for each language.


Example:

To create a native/push ad like this:

Ad Title: Meet girls in CATALUÑA tonight!

Ad Description: Barcelona girls want to meet you!
