### Step 3: Troubleshoot validation errors

| 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. |
