You can create up to 500 third-party ads at a time by uploading tags that point to creative assets hosted on third-party ad servers. You can include tracking pixels for the ads.

You can upload either DoubleClick and Flashtalking tag sheets or a manually-populated file using the provided template.

TIP
The best practice is to use third-party ads that are served securely using HTTPS. URLs served using HTTPS begin with “https.”
