Each Term:

This template is run for each keyword bid, category bid and hotzone bid. This template is shown, respectably in place of <<WORDS>>, <<HOTZONE>>, and <<CATEGORIES>> in the above template. Note that not all of the variables listed below are required (only the termlink and bid are required), the rest serve mainly to provide your advertiser with more options and information.

Variables Understood:

<<TERMLINK>> - Link to open up the link editor (when using overture style bidding), or just the word for normal bidding screens.

<<SIMULATE_LINK>> - Link to open up the related keyword search for this word

<<LEXICAL_LINK>> - Link to show synonyms, similar words for this keyword

<<BID>> - An input field for the current bid on this word

<<PROXY>> - An input field for the current proxy bid on this word

<<POSITION>> - Shows the current position of the word in the search results

<<TOP5>> - Shows the top 5 bids on this term (using the "top 5" internal template)

<<SMARTBID>> - A checkbox for including this keyword in the smartbidder

<<DELETE>> - A checkbox to let the user delete this keyword when they save the screen.

Example:

<tr>

<td>

<<TERMLINK>>

<<SIMULATE_LINK>>

<<LEXICAL_LINK>>

</td>

<td><<BID>></td>

<td><<PROXY>></td>

<td><<POSITION>></td>

<td><<TOP5>></td>

<td align="center"><<SMARTBID>></td>

<td align="center"><<DELETE>></td>

</tr>
