Targeting an Ad to a Page Group

You can specify that an ad campaign item will appear on all pages of the site or that it will appear only on assigned page groups. Page groups allow you to specify on what Web pages an ad campaign item will appear. For example, if your Web site is an online newspaper, you may want to assign an ad for golf clubs to only run on pages in the Sports page.

You can display ads on all of your page groups, or you can select from available page groups that have been created in the Page Groups section in the Reference Tables module.

Note

• Before you can target an ad to a page group, your site developer must ad-enable the page. To ad-enable a page, see the Ad Sitelet sample in the Commerce Server 2000 Software Development Kit.
