Hi,
Is there a way to run multiple wallpaper ads utilizing the background ad?
I.e. – I have three background images that I want to keep track of (regarding impressions, clicks, etc.).
How can I do that?
I’ve used AdRotate Pro for about three years – and know it quite well. I don’t think this is possible as part of that plugins offer.
What I would do is put the background ad on, then use Google Analytics ‘Events’ select – ‘Top Events’ which with some searching and filtering should show you ‘clicks’ AWAY from your website to your advertisers’ websites – and there you have the clicks – for impressions just measure the page views for the site ( or just home page if that’s where the background ad exists ) for the days any one ad was showing

It is possible because AdRotate developer did it for me once by placing the Group ID in the theme.
It was an old theme he placed it in and we don’t know exactly where we should put it now. Do you know where it would placed? Or documentation?
Or can the theme itself rotate 3 different backgrounds, each with their own URL’s?
I would try: 1. Create the three ads in AdRotate 2. Create a group 3. Tick the three ads so they are in the group you created 4. Put the group Shortcode in ‘Background ad’ in Theme Panel – this works with the other custom ad spaces
See http://westbridgfordwire.com ( header and leaderboard ) ads both use this method
AdRotate PRO gives impressions/clicks – you have to pay for that functionality
