Publishing Campaign Changes on Your Web Site

You use the Publish Campaigns module to update your site immediately with new information that you have added to your Web site. However, even if you do not perform this step to publish your ad campaign changes, by default, within five minutes your Web site will reflect any changes you made regarding the ad campaign. Changes to discount campaign items are not updated on the Web site unless you publish them using the Publish Campaigns module.

In most e-commerce businesses, changes are first made to a test site, and then at a scheduled times the changes are published to the production site. Contact your system administrator for information about when and how changes are made to your production site.

The Publish Campaigns module contains a search mechanism that enables you to find the ads or discounts you want to view, publish, or delete.

Note

• Before you update an ad campaign on a new site, you must first visit the Web site if a user has never visited it. Each server in the Web farm must be updated before a campaign item can be sent to production.
