What’s the best way to test my Rotator links?


Testing your own rotator links can be tricky, depending on how you set them up and the specific settings you use for your rotators.

If you’re selling clicks, such as solo ads, it’s surprising how often purchasers will give you links that don’t work! So, before you add a link to your rotator, it’s good practice to open a new browser window and test the link there first.

Also, some web pages will not display correctly if masked or cloaked. If you use a custom rotator domain with ClickMagick, you should ensure that it is not masked or cloaked or verify that every link you put in your rotator will work properly with a masked or cloaked domain.

On that same topic, domain registrars that support masking don’t always mask their domains properly. You can be confident that their masked domains will work on desktop browsers, but they don’t always work on mobile devices as expected. If the masked domain does not correctly pass on the mobile information, mobile-aware websites will not recognize they are on a mobile device and will display the desktop layout instead.

Mobile devices will work as you would expect if you use ClickMagick to cloak your rotator domain instead of using the domain registrar to mask it.

The bottom line is if you’ve tested the rotator links in a browser first and you have taken precautions about using masked or cloaked rotator domains, then your links should work fine.
