My server returns VAST 3.0 XML with wrapper referring to 3rd party creative:
<VAST version="3.0">
<Ad>
<Wrapper>
<AdSystem>MyAdSystem</AdSystem>
<Impression>http://myserver/impression_tracker</Impression>
<VASTAdTagURI>http://ad.doubleclick.net/pfadx/N270.126913.6102203221521/B3876671.21;dcadv=2215309;sz=0x0;ord=%5Btimestamp%5D;dcmt=text/xml</VASTAdTagURI>
<Creatives>
<Linear>
<VideoClicks>
<ClickTracking>http://myserver/click_tracker</ClickTracking>
</VideoClicks>
</Linear>
</Creatives>
</Wrapper>
</Ad>
</VAST>
Inserting it into Google's Video Suite Inspector either through specifying server handler URL or by copy/pasting XML correctly show pre-roll ad (video starting with cityscape/double click logo) followed by test video (android) and correctly pings impression tracking URL when first frame of ad is played.
My problem is: clicking on ad redirects to click-through URL specified inside wrapped creative and completely ignores <VideoClicks>
section from my outer wrapper no matter if I use <ClickThrough>
, <ClickTracking>
or both.
After reading spec I'm still unsure, is it:
<VASTAdTagURI>
?You should have Creative element ie
<Creatives>
<Creative>
<Linear>
your xml is broken.
