Troubleshoot validation errors

You may see the following error messages when creating or updating your content ad. Here's what you can do to solve them:

Validation error

Explanation

“No replaceable links present”

impact.com cannot detect any replaceable links in the Content field—all links provided should use http (not https). Your links will later be automatically converted to https tracking links.

“Ad name cannot be empty”

You must provide a name for your content ad. Input an appropriate name in the Name field.

"URL on anchor is not absolute"

The link you provided in the Content field isn't absolute. Absolute links use the entire path name, starting with http://. You may also want to check for syntax issues with the link you provided, such as spaces before or after the href= tag.
