Adding Page Groups

You use page groups to specify the pages on which your ads appear on your Web site. Using page groups, you can place targeted ads on all pages of your site, or only on one particular page. For example, a News site might have a Sports page group to which you would target sports-related ads. Additionally, you can charge advertisers different rates based on the page group on which they advertise. Page groups are validated using the Page Groups section in the Reference Tables module.

The page groups in the reference tables are available when you select the page on which you want a campaign item to appear. Once the page group used by the campaign item is validated against the Page Group property, the campaign item can be put into production. You can view a list of all current page groups, add new page groups, edit page groups, and delete page groups from the Page Group section in the Reference Tables module.

Note

• Before you can target an ad to a page group, your site developer must add the necessary code to enable the ad to display on the page. For information about enabling ads to display on a page, see the Ad Sitelet sample in the Commerce Server 2002 Software Development Kit.

   The new page group is added to the Page Group list in alphabetical order.
