You can simplify tracking by installing the Blockchain-Ads pixel via Google Tag Manager (GTM). Here's how to do this without direct code changes to your website:
Steps for GTM Installation
Install the pixel in minutes:
- Log in to the HUB dashboard, go to "Tracking" > "Setup Tracking," and select "Google Tag Manager."
- Follow prompts to authorize and connect your GTM account.
- In GTM, create a new tag: select "Custom HTML" and paste the pixel code from HUB.
- Set the trigger to "All Pages" for base pixel tracking or a custom trigger for events (e.g., DOM Ready for sign-up pages).
- Save and publish the GTM container.
- Test by loading your site and using GTM’s preview mode to confirm tag firing.
- Verify data in the HUB Conversions tab.
Best Practices: Use the "All Pages" trigger for base tracking; create separate tags for events (e.g., clicks, sign-ups); label tags clearly (e.g., "Blockchain-Ads Pixel"); test in GTM preview before publishing; integrate with existing GTM setups to streamline management.
Troubleshooting: Tag not firing? Check trigger conditions in GTM preview mode. No authorization? Re-connect GTM account in HUB. Data delayed? Wait 1-5 minutes for processing. Conflicts with other tags? Set pixel tag priority high in GTM or contact contact@blockchain-ads.com.
