DoubleClick affiliate links need to have the Unix Epoch timestamp in the ord=[[timestamp]] query string.
This WordPress plugin creates a [[timestamp]] shortcode which outputs the timestamp wherever the shortcode is placed. So now you can easily insert timestamps into Double Click affiliate links.
With the timestamp shortcode placed after the “ord=” part of the affiliate link, the timestamp will change every time the page reloads.
Usage is simple
- Download the plugin
- Upload the TimeStamper plugin to your WordPress site
- Use your DoubleClick ad code in posts, pages and widgets.
- Replace “ord=” in your links with “ord=[[timestamp]]”
The shortcode can be used anywhere you want to show the current Unix Epoch time.
Great news if you don’t want to use a plugin. You can add this shortcode to your site by adding a code snippet to your theme’s functions.php. Here is how.
