I’ve been hesitant to use Flash banners provided by most programs, because they don’t fit well in my tracking scheme. Generally, they seem to have the URL information embedded in the Flash code, meaning I can’t redirect the click through my server-side tracking mechanisms.
If I can’t see clickthroughs on my side, it’s a problem. Is there any standard for providing a clickthrough URL via a data file in the same web document directory?
Does this already happen, and I’m just not up to speed on it?
