Advertisers: includes all information about the advertiser including: company name, description, Web site, contact, contact's email, login name/password for viewing statistics, address, telephone, and fax information.

Campaigns: specify what creatives to serve, when and how to serve them, to whom, and how often. An advertiser is associated with each campaign. A campaign includes the following information:   campaign name, advertiser, included banners, banner weighting, start/end date, type of campaign (Flat Rate, CPM, or Per Click), quantity purchased by advertiser, cost, days of week to display campaign, daily start/end time).

Creatives: (Banners) are a graphical web advertising unit. A creative MUST BE assigned to an advertiser.   An unlimited number of banners can be specified for each advertiser and this includes information such as:  banner ad description, target URL, image URL, alt text, height, width, border, alignment, optional text to display underneath, and whether or not to launch a new instance of the browser when the banner is clicked.

Publishers:: Basically, you will want to create a publisher account for people that you wish to have run your advertisements on their own Web site

Regions: Regions are basically different ad places on your pages. For example if you need to show a banner in the Top Header of all the, you need to set a region called Top Header 728x90. Regions have their own sizes, for example, your top header may have the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) recommended 728x90 banner as the size. Typically regions are created for the various pages throughout your Web site, a group of web pages, or you may have one region for a Run on Site creative.

Zones: Zones can be one single webpage or a group of pages, or section/category of your site, which has one thing in common. For example, a news sections header, sports sections header, or registration page header, accommodations sections header, etc.

Sites: Sites allow you to group advertising on unique Web sites and simplify the management of multiple Web sites. In the Multi-Site version of ClickFix, you can create more than on Web site for advertising purposes.
