ppv pop question (11)

ppv pop question

When doing ppv, and since ads are served as a pop, what options do I have when it comes to transition between pop and lander/offer page.

For instance when a surfer trigger and click on my pop which is linked to offer page, does this page load within the pop, or does the window resize to fit the browser?

What are some alternatives? Automatic resize, target=blank, have ads and offers fit into the given dimensions etc...

How do you guys do it? What is allowed and what is not?

OK I did some more research and it seems some people prefer using target="_blank" on their outgoing links. The though of popping another window does not seem like a good idea... How are you guys doing it?

Most people seem to use target ="_blank" or target="_self" (sorry if syntax is wrong - but you get the idea).
Blank - advantage: opens in new browser so offer is in full browser window.
Blank - disadvantage: where the window opens is based on user's browser settings. Sometimes in a new " window" sometimes in a new "tab". I think new tabs can sometimes go unnoticed.

Self - advantage: offer opens in original pop and is definitely seen by user
Self - disadvantage: offer page (call to action) may not fit or look good in such a small window and conversions will suffer.

There are ways to resize the original pop window, but will most likely get you banned if you get caught, because the ppv networks don't like that!

Personally, I use _blank. I know others on this forum do not.

Alright. I guess the choice depends on the offer then, and if all the good stuff is above the fold... Do you know if there Is a way to resize the original pop only after the user clicks?

But in general did you test what worked best for you?

To be honest the result will be pretty similar.

However if you want to maximize the window after users click on button / link see the code below :

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
	<script language="JavaScript">
		function maximizeme(){
			window.moveTo(0, 0);
			window.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height)
		}
	</script>
</head>
<body>
	<a href="javascript:onclick=maximizeme()">Maximize</a>
</body>
</html>

When direct linking with a PPV source (loading the offer page in the pop) is there a way to center a portion of the offer page within the window. For example LI's pops are 785x445 pixels, an offer I want to promote is vertically longer than that. I only want a certain portion of the page visible as if somebody scrolled down a bit revealing the call to action but not enough to show all the fine print.

Maybe link to a redirect that resizes/scrolls first so it tracks as well...

@bbrock32,

Thanks for the input. So is that script allowed on most ppv sources? Since it only resizes the browser window after the surfer clicks, and not automatically? Any issues with tracking when doing this?

Can this be used on a direct link camp without an iframe?

You would need to maximize the window and then meta refresh it without user's consent, which is against compliance. Either do that and cloak, or use a lander with the code Besmir left above.

Thanks for the code but I'm just wondering how to put it together...

e.g. my current lander looks like this:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://xyz.com/base2.php"><img src="image1.png"></a>
<input type="hidden" id="hidLocation" value="http://xyz.com/" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://xyz.com/landing.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

I have no problem putting the code in "head" section, but how can I put the rest together? I mean how can I put the following two together?
<a href="http://xyz.com/base2.php"><img src="image1.png"></a>
AND
<a href="javascript: onclick=maximizeme()">Maximize</a>
(in my case, I don't have a button or link called "maximize". The whole image is a link)

any help would be appreciated!

You can do it like this

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function maximizeme(){
window.moveTo(0, 0);
window.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height)
window.location.href = "http://afflink.com";}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<a href="javascript:onclick=maximizeme()"><img src="yourimage.gif" width="775" height="400" /></a>
</body>
</html>
