I. Create a Campaign in Voluum

The first thing you need to do is to create a campaign in Voluum. This will provide you with a campaign URL that you will submit as a destination URL in RichAds. In order to do so, perform the following steps:

  1. Create an offer element. Read the Add an Offer to Voluum article to learn how to do that.

  2. (Optionally) Create a lander element. Read the Add a Lander Element article to learn more.

  3. Create a traffic source element. Voluum provides you with the RichAds traffic source template, so you can use it and skip most of the manual setup. In order to use this template, perform the following steps:

    1. In Voluum, go to Traffic sources.

    2. Click the Create button and select the Traffic source option from the drop-down menu.
