How to Get the Ad Code of Problematic Ads on Mobile Phones

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to capture the live ad code of problematic ads on mobile phones using Google Chrome and a JS bookmarklet.

Step 1: On your mobile phone, download, and Install

• Google Chrome for iOS –https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chrome-web-browser-by-google/id535886823?mt=8

• or Google Chrome for Android – https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en

Step 2: Go to one site, then save it as a bookmark

Step 3: Edit the bookmark you just saved

• Use a short name (i.e ‘Problem Ad’)
• The paste this JS code in the URL field:

javascript:(function(){var xmlHttp = null;xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();xmlHttp.open(“POST”, “http://optimization.revex.co/bookmarklet-callback”, true );xmlHttp.setRequestHeader(‘Content-Type’, ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’);xmlHttp.send(“url=” + encodeURIComponent(location.href) + “&source=” + encodeURIComponent(document.documentElement.outerHTML));})();

Step 4: Now, go to the page where you saw the problematic ad

(example below)

• Now, go to your bookmarks and click on the ‘Problem Ad’ bookmark you saved earlier.
• It will send that page to the MonetizeMore system and we should be able to replicate the problem and advise how to fix it.

• Please also send the screenshot to [email protected]  so we know what we’re looking for.
