Configuring a contract campaign using RevMax
Contract campaigns offer a higher percentage of distribution using the OpenX adserver platform. I will try to outline the steps, for creating a contract campaign ad package in the RevMax plugin for Openx.
You will first need to log in to your openx adserver, then switch to administrator account. There you will see the new tab ” RevMax” at the top right. Click this tab to be taken to the RevMax updates, index page.

Added companion positioning in ad packages
Warning this information may be outdated. Please see the forum for up to date RevMax help and instructions. http://www.openxpayments.com.
Lots of little fixes this week:
fixed subscription end date on subscription packages.
Fixed revenue reporting under campaign. Campaign now shows cpc cost if cpc campaign, click cost if adclick, and tenancy cost per day on subscriptions.
Fixed limit impressions, limit clicks on signup. Now when a campaign is purchased, the total ad views , clicks, days, are divided by the time set on ad package, so if selling ad views and subscription variables show 1 month, the amount of ad views is divided by 30 days, and set as the daily limit.
Added companion positioning in ad packages.
Download package available at purchase link. email me if you have problems.
see more for install.
