Designalicious - Web Design / Development

Today after many back and forths for the last week, trying to figure out the real reason why Doublelick click through's don't match the same data as Google Analytics.

I can understand to a point why advertisers winge and whine that data does not match. But for gods sake people. It's like going to car dealership and saying "I want a refund on my Holden car because it does not do the same speed as my mates car who owns a Ford" Two different cars people, same as DFP and GA, two different systems. They should not be compared.

Okay, so here is a tute on how to add a border the correct way, since many of our agency's/clients don't know how. Here is an example without the correct borders.

It should look like this:

 

When managing multiple projects or just one that contains a number of taskes, you can set calendar items to appear as a useful timeline. 

 

A neat little feature of Firebug in Firefox to determine filesizes and see if expanding creative is set to polite of 3^rd party tags.

• Right Click
• Inspect Element
• Click Net tab
• Click Flash 
  
  

 You will notice the expanded parts of Toyota and Renault gets loaded only when clicked for Renault or rolled over for Toyota.

Let's face it, some time in our development careers we needed to compare codes with another file. 

This tool is the most basic but most useful tool I have found online.
